Poslední úprava: Mgr. Jan Kabrda, Ph.D. (31.01.2017)
The lectures are focused on: (a) historical and modern theories and approaches to land use research throughout the World; (b) data sources and methods of land use research (LUCC Czechia Database, CORINE database, old maps etc.); (c) description and explanation of main land use changes and their socio-economic driving forces on various spatial levels, with a focus on Czechia; and (d) the relationship between land use changes research and several other phenomena and concepts, including socio-economic metabolism, greenways planning, and modelling and simulation approaches. At the beginning of the course the students are given ten articles as a compulsory literature to read and then to discuss during the corresponding lectures. Furthermore, each student is asked to write an essay on a selected topic, based primarily on several up-to-date scientific articles. The essays shall be presented and discussed during the two final lectures. Finally, each student has to pass an oral exam at the end of the course that will cover the compulsory literature. The final grade a student obtains reflects both the essay and the oral exam. |
