1. Knowledge and Understanding: Students will gain a solid understanding of basic cartographic concepts and the primary reference systems used in territorial representation and analysis. They will deepen their knowledge of key territorial factors such as elevation, slope, and aspect, and learn to interpret land use maps, with particular reference to the Corine Land Cover project. Additionally, they will understand the concept of the hydrographic basin as a territorial and landscape unit and the principles that characterize it.
2. Applying Knowledge and Understanding: Students will apply their theoretical and practical knowledge to manage and utilize Territorial Information Systems (TIS) within Geographic Information System (GIS) environments. They will use these tools to perform territorial analyses, interpret spatial data, and carry out projects for territorial management and planning. They will be able to apply and use landscape ecology indices to evaluate and analyze landscape characteristics and dynamics at different scales.
3. Making Judgements: Students will develop the ability to make critical judgments regarding the quality and relevance of territorial and cartographic data used, assessing the accuracy and relevance of information provided by reference systems and thematic maps. They will be able to make informed decisions based on ecological and territorial analyses, using landscape ecology indices to support their evaluations.
4. Communication Skills: Students will be able to clearly communicate the results of their analyses and projects using cartographic and GIS tools. They will demonstrate skills in creating and presenting thematic maps, reports, and technical documentation, using appropriate technical language and data visualization tools to convey their findings and conclusions.
5. Learning Skills: Students will develop skills for autonomous and continuous learning, applying acquired knowledge to new contexts and challenges in cartography and territorial analysis. They will be capable of staying updated on new technologies, methodologies, and approaches in territorial data management and landscape ecological assessment, demonstrating adaptability and continuous improvement.
