Base Knowledge
It is recommended that students have prior knowledge of statistics and geographic information systems
Teaching Methodologies
Classes are focused on the presentation and discussion of the different subjects that make up the program of the discipline, encouraging active and participatory learning. The expository method will be used to promote the mastery of fundamental concepts and principles of mobility planning. In addition to the expository method, the interrogative method will also be used to increase the spirit of reflection. In this context, the answers should be found by the class. Furthermore, the demonstrative method will play a relevant role in motivating students to carry out tasks. The resolution of practical problems will be broken down into elementary operations. In the phases following the application of the demonstrative method, the active method will be applied through the formulation of practical problems that can be solved by all students.
Learning Results
Provide a global and integrated view of the opportunities and problems arising from the significant transformation that has taken place in terms of mobility. Promote awareness and critical reflection of students on the importance of mobility planning, as well as the various existing policies and instruments (at different scales) in this field of action
