Learning Goals
This unit intends that students contact with a very complex issue - the analysis of the landscape evolution
- as it involves integrating knowledge from various technical and scientific areas, although the historical
perspective is that guides this study. In this context, even mitigated, it is necessary to understand how
social phenomena influence the ownership and occupation of the territory and help to identify and
understand built structures and social practices associated with it. In fact, this program only deals with
anthropogenic landscapes.
However, the course is a more specific objective and even geographically oriented, in that it will be given
particular attention to the evolution of landscapes and related farming systems in the southern regions,
namely the Mediterranean, where the montado formation are the most current reality.

Teaching Methods
Theoretical and practical classes and organized field trips for on-site notice specific aspects of the topics
discussed.
The evaluation, it comprises:
- A frequency to be held at the end of the semester (40% of the final grade);
- A working group, with the following characteristics (60% of the final mark):
. Each group will have a maximum of three learners .
The work will leave the analysis of a printed source or other material supplied by the teacher;
. Each work consists of 3 parts: reading the document or materials and processing information,
bibliographic collection, including a reflection on the collected material, and presentation;
. Each phase will be assessed and reported to the group;
. Necessarily, but regularly, students should meet with the teacher to give account of the evolution of work;
- Requirement to be present at least 3 classes, in which endeavor to integrate several aspects of the
program and whose dates will be posted at the beginning of the year.
