Landscape Planning and Management

Base Knowledge

Decision Models

GIS and Geomatic

Teaching Methodologies

The course is structured in theoretical-practical classes. Throughout the course unit the student develops a project where he will integrate the set of practical work corresponding to the different components of the program

Learning Results

This UC will provide  students  with concepts and methodologies used in the planning and management of natural resources at the landscape level.

As a learning outcomes the student will :

1) Applies the fundamental principles of ecologically based planning to the planning and management of forest landscapes

2) Knows and applies different methodologies of spatial planning to the management of forest landscapes

3) Is able to develop intervention proposals at landscape scale.
