Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2019-20

Las tecnologías de información geográfica (TIG) y dentro de ellas, los sistemas de información geográfica (SIG), representan un recurso tecnológico fundamental que potencia metodologías de trabajo innovadoras y experimentales, de extraordinaria importancia en los distintos trabajos de ordenación del territorio.

Su naturaleza geomática, como bases de datos geográficas, nos permite acceder y gestionar la información relacionada con el medio físico y las actividades humanas en el territorio para la toma de decisiones sobre aspectos ambientales, conservación del medio, desarrollo económico sostenible, capacidad de uso del suelo, estudios de vulnerabilidad o previsión de riesgos naturales, entre otros muchos aspectos.


Esta asignatura ha sido diseñada desde un planteamiento muy práctico y aplicado, para preparar a los futuros egresados para intervenir con estas tecnologías en equipos interdisciplinares que realizan trabajos de ordenación del territorio con pleno dominio de los recursos de información geográfica.
