The course is focused on basic topics and problems of social and economic geography. Core concepts, processes and trends in social and economic geography are discussed. The lecture is based on the presentation of key general trends, elaboration of the topic on a specific example in a selected region and generalisation of trends for typologically or regionally related territories, regions, places. Different geographic scales of monitoring from global, regional to local levels are taken into account. Graduates use selected terminology with understanding, can process and interpret data and find connections between them, critically assess data sources and evaluation results, explain the context of problems of socio-economic and socio-cultural nature at different geographical scale levels.
