Learning Goals
At the level of knowledge: To know and to understand the concept and process of Landscape Planning; to know and to interpret, in a critical way, the legal figures and the instruments of territorial management that make the landscape planning operational.
At the level of competences: Enable the future landscape architects to take part in the land use planning process integrated in interdisciplinary teams. In addition, deal with issues more directly related with landscape, the students will acquire competences to apply a holistic point of view to spatial planning, in its different levels, integrating also the issues about environment and natural resources, about agriculture and forestry, and regional development.

Teaching Methods
Oral classes supported by audiovisual media. Field trips. Conferences.
Carrying out a practical group work, including students from different backgrounds. It corresponds to a synthesis exercise about the training obtained in the most theoretical components of the UC, opposing a sectoral and fragmented view of knowledge that is incompatible with the skills that are intended to be ensured in this sphere of landscape planning.
This exercise focuses on a specific area, in its analysis and in its IGTs, in order to have its in-depth knowledge for a future presentation of proposals that will contribute to a landscape plan. This synthesis exercise will be presented orally and discussed by all groups, with comments and evaluation by the various teachers.
The evaluation is based on the oral presentation and discussion of the work, as well as the respective written report and drawings.
