Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2020-21

This Topic is part of OBLIGATORY MODULE Risk Mapping of the Master Planning and Management of Natural Hazards and its main objective is to make known the fundamentals of the use of Geographic Information Technologies, specifically, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for its application To the territorial analysis of NATURAL RISKS in research work or any professional performance of intervention and spatial planning, as well as the preparation of cartographic documentation on natural risks from this type of databases. Competences: TRANSVERSAL: CT2. - Use of geographical information technologies CT3.- Resolution of problems CT7.- Autonomous learning CT8.- Ability to apply knowledge to practice CT10.- Sensitivity towards issues related to sustainable territorial development SPECIFIC: CE3.- Express cartographically the information of the risk analysis CE5.- Interrelate the physical environment with the social and economic aspects of the territory CE7.- Understand the phenomena at different territorial scale CE8.- Prepare, process, interpret and present data using quantitative techniques Suitable for risk analysis
