Contents:
This practical course is an in-depth planning methodology course, focusing at methods and techniques to support operational planning problems at local scale level. The course familiarizes the students with methods and techniques for spatial analysis and applied statistics for spatial planning. Students gain knowledge and skills with applying methods and techniques for qualitative and quantitative analyses of land use and landscape, including bio-physical and environmental aspects as well as socio-economical aspects.
The spatial analysis part of the course includes the basics and concepts for structuring spatial research and analysis and spatial coherence, multi-criteria techniques, and several case studies related to agriculture, nature, recreation and tourism, traffic analysis, spatial-environmental conflicts, and demography.
The statistics techniques are applied to actual spatial analysis problems.
Learning outcomes:
After this course the student:
- is expected to have insight in the landscape transformation process (core competence 4) and to have the ability to critically interpret the design;
- is expected to have a basic understanding about which methods and techniques can be applied for spatial analysis (including applied statistical methods);
- knows about the advantages and disadvantages of the methods and techniques.
Activities:
Lectures, practical exercises and writing short reports.
Examination:
Evaluation of the practical exercises / reports.
Literature:
Special written reader + additional literature.
