Objectives

FONDAMENTI DI CARTOGRAFIA
Reading ability and interpretation of territorial data through digital and traditional cartography; knowledge and treatment of territorial data; interpretation of topographic and tematic maps and their use for the research applied on cultural heritage; basic techniques for the georeferentiation and for the digital processing of geographic information. Basis of Gis, open source and commercial, and foundations of remote sensing, applied on cultural heritage.

GEOGRAFIA DEI PAESAGGI
The course wants to offer to the students the instruments to understand and analise the phisical environment and its dinamics, relating to the world landscapes and to the human development. Geography has become more relevant to human affairs, more concerned with natural hazards and it's fundamental to understand human impact on environmental change. Students at the end of the course should be able to recognize the phisical components of the landscape and their dynamicity, including man as actor of changes and as vulnerable subject too.
