| Contents | This teaching module will address the following topics: - REGIONAL AND URBAN PLANS AND TOOLS - LANDSCAPE PLANNING AND GREEN PLANS - METHODS AND TOOLS FOR A SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO LANDSCAPE PLANNING Each year, the two teaching modules will develop a planning and design process for greenery and landscape in a study area identified by the teachers. |
| Reference texts | Available at Unistudium and the Department library: - Didactic slides by the teacher - Zimmermann A., 2015. Planning Landscape, Birkhauser. - De Montis A. 2018. Pianificare il paesaggio rurale, Uniss: Sassari Based on the objectives and study area of the project addressed from year to year, the teacher will add material to be studied or consulted within Unistudium. |
| Educational objectives | This teaching module aims to allow the student to control the elements of planning related to landscape design. The goals are: - Ability to analyze, represent, evaluate, and manage landscape resources inside working groups - Ability to use software for the analysis, management, and sharing of spatial information and the collaborative creation of tables - Ability to read and interpret Landscape and Urban plans - Acquisition of knowledge of methodologies and tools for the development of a systemic approach to solving problems and achieving objectives relating to interventions for the protection, transformation, and enhancement of the landscape |
| Prerequisites | |
| Teaching methods | This teaching module is organized with the following: - Lectures to explain the key concepts with the help of audio and video material - Collaborative lessons where students will research positive and critical experiences of spatial planning and green design in groups and individually and will learn to discuss them in class Each year the two teaching modules will develop a planning and design process for greenery and landscape in a study area identified by the teachers, with practical lessons in the classroom and the field. In this regard, during the lessons, the students: - they will navigate individually and or in groups within the web pages and web-gis of the Public Administration to understand their landscape and urban plans and to find the forecasts and prescriptions regarding their study areas at different spatial levels - they will manage face-to-face and online tools to involve the community interested in the case study addressed in the current year - they will use collaborative tools for the production of cartographic and textual documents |
| Other information | Attendance is not mandatory, although strongly recommended. |
| Learning verification modality | The learning outcomes will be assessed for the two modules at one time. See the overall course sheet for the description of the methods of carrying out. |
| Extended program | REGIONAL AND LOCAL PLANNING Legislative competence in matters of territorial government; framework of territorial governance instruments at different scales and within the competence of the various territorial bodies; general and sector planning; consensual mechanisms for territorial governance LANDSCAPE PLANNING Evolution of the approach to landscape planning from the first laws on the protection of natural beauty to the ecosystem approach to the landscape as a European common good, Code of cultural heritage and landscape, Landscape Plans GREEN PLANS Green infrastructure network; urban green system; ecosystem services provided by urban greenery; Census of urban green areas, Plan Documents, and Green Regulations METHODS AND TOOLS FOR A SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO SPATIAL ANALYSIS AND PLANNING Challenges related to landscape planning and decision support tools and methods: non-linear approaches based on performance, construction of tangible and intangible networks, management of uncertainty, recognition of emerging properties at different spatial scales, participatory planning paths, reading of connections space between the variables of a system and their relations with variables external to it. |
| Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile | Regional and Local Plans define the spatial distribution among land uses and land covers to optimize the well-being of local communities and increase the resilience of cities and territories. In particular, the study of landscape resources and green infrastructures allows the development of nature-based solutions for the adaptation and mitigation of climate change, the improvement of air, water, and soil quality, and the well-being of all living species in the managed context. |
