Environmental basics of spatial management 1900-5-N-PPGP
The aim of the lecture is to provide basic knowledge about the components of the natural environment and the possibilities of their economic use in accordance with the principle of sustainable development. Particular emphasis was placed on the possibilities of practical use of the experience of natural sciences in spatial planning and development. The lecture presents the importance of natural environment resources, endogenous and exogenous processes, atmospheric and hydrological phenomena in environmental management. The relations between man and the environment are shown in a historical cross-section.
The exercises are a supplement to the lectures. They include: familiarization with natural components, familiarization with publicly available environmental databases useful in spatial management, assessment of environmental resources, assessment of possibilities and barriers resulting from the development of individual landscape components. Some of the above issues are considered in relation to the area of Warsaw, including the area of the main UW campus.
Student workload: 6 ECTS = 6 × 25 h = 150 h (in direct contact 4 ECTS)
(N) – work in direct contact with the teacher
(S) – student's own (independent) work.
Classes (lecture) = 30 h (N)
Classes (exercises) = 30 h (N)
• Consultations = 30 h (N)
• Passing exercises, test on lecture, exam = 5 h (N)
• Preparation (independent) for exam = 20 h (S)
• Preparation (independent) for exercises – 1h/week = 15 h (S)
• Field analyses = 5 h (S)
• Analytical work = 5 h (S)
• Design work = 10 h (S)
TOTAL = approx. 150 h
