Information
Description
As we know, GIS is a powerful tool for enhancing decision-making, especially in the field of urban planning. When applied to ecological transition, GIS can be particularly useful for tasks that include everything from prediction to optimized land analysis in response to ecological challenges. During the first semester, students learned how to properly manage their data and create basic maps and analyses. The main goal of this second semester will be to focus on using GIS in urban planning, particularly in addressing environmental issues highlighted by global warming. We will study multiple GIS case studies related to ecological transition. By the end of the semester, students will be able to identify and manage land-related challenges within a GIS workflow. They will also be able to provide advanced GIS analyses, integrating basic land data with environmental information.
Assessment
Intermediate examination: A short asset (30 min.) about GIS technical and GIS in studied topics (20%).
Final examination: A group project expected before the end of the semester 80%
