Educational objectives Remote sensing techniques and GIS methodologies represent a fundamental support not only in the management of territorial and geographical data, but also in the framework of environmental studies and in the analysis of territorial phenomena.
The present Course aims, first of all, to provide an overview of the processing techniques of satellite remote-sensed images for environmental and territorial analysis, focusing on the largely used multispectral platforms (e.g. Landsat, Sentinel, WorldView, etc.).
Then, methodologies to perform simulations in GIS environment will be described. Such approaches are implemented by using information from remote sensing data, along with other environmental and territorial information layers. The aim is to provide an overview of GIS and WebGIS applications for decision support in spatial planning and risk analysis (e.g. earthquakes, floods, etc.).
The course will also present case studies and real applications, and practice exercises on these issues.

Educational objectives The main goal of this class is to deepen the
knowledge of urban and regional systems conceived as a
complex superimposition/intersection of relationships, places, actors and processes.
The course focuses on
some analytical methodologies and techniques that are able to investigate the
diverse environmental
dimensions and their connections: natural, morphological, social, economical
and political dimensions.
At the end of the course the student will be able to critically analyze the structure of urban and territorial systems, recognizing specific aspects and understanding the phenomena that have led to current structures.
