103-0315-04LApplied Planning for Sustainable Urban Development Restricted registration - show details 3 credits2GA. Grêt-Regamey, U. Wissen Hayek
AbstractIndependent development of decision bases and preparation of concrete project documents in connection with practical spatial and environmental planning problems.
Learning objectiveStudents know different GIS-based analysis techniques and methods for application in landscape and urban areas and can use them to assess sustainable land use in the planning process. The interdisciplinary skills of project management and teamwork are promoted.
ContentBy using current problems from the practice, an application-oriented task of sustainable settlement development is introduced. The systematic procedure and the choice of suitable planning and analytical methods will be learned and applied to a concrete project. The results of the analyses are used to develop proposals for solutions. Different alternatives are evaluated and discussed with selected indicators. In addition, exercises in project management and teamwork will be conducted.
Prerequisites / NoticeKnowledge of GIS is required.

3 credits2GU. Wissen Hayek, A. Grêt-Regamey
AbstractConcepts, methods and techniques for 3D landscape visualization and auralization and their application in landscape and environmental planning. Practical application of a workflow for audiovisual 3D landscape simulation. Reflection of relevant aspects such as the choice of viewpoints, the landscape sections, or the level of detail, and their effects on the perception of the visualized landscape.
Learning objectiveThe main goals of this lab are (1) to know digital techniques for audiovisual 3D landscape simulation, (2) to know different examples and application areas for GIS-based audiovisual 3D landscape simulations, (3) to establish software skills in 3D landscape visualization and auralization, and (4) to be able to explain principles of audiovisual 3D landscape simulation, which are important for landscape and environmental planning situations, and to apply these for the evaluation or the planning of 3D landscape visualizations and auralizations.
ContentThe lectures provide an introduction to the area of GIS-based 3D landscape visualization and on visualization principles. Examples of audiovisual 3D landscape simulations generated and applied in different projects are presented. The theoretical principles for 3D landscape visualization and auralization are consolidated in small exercises during the whole course. These exercises are organized in a way, that a workflow for audiovisual 3D landscape simulation can be reproduced. Thereby aspects such as the choice of viewpoints, the sections of a landscape, or the level of detail, and their effects on the perception of the visualized landscape are reflected.
Lecture notesHandouts of the slides used in the lectures will be made available for download.
Prerequisites / NoticeEnglish

The course is limited to 24 participants.

103-0338-00LProject Week in Landscape Development5 credits9PS.‑E. Rabe, E. Celio, A. Grêt-Regamey
AbstractIn particular, the aspects measuring, understanding and assessing of landscape-relevant land-use, requirements and developments will be taught. Concerning the landscape development in a project area, aims will be developed and corresponding actions defined.
Learning objectiveThe students are able to:
- recognize and undestand the context of arrangement of a landscape
- assess a landscape in its entirety and in its single-elements
- understand and apply the concepts of the landscape approach
- prepare and provide substantiated actions
ContentThe course consists of
- theoretical inputs from internal and external speakers
- a preliminary excursion to the project area
- group work
- the project week and the preparation of a report

Depending on the subject area to be processed (eg. water, landscape aesthetics, natural hazards, nature conservation), appropriate methods are used.
This applies to both the methods of investigation of landscape-elements and characteristics as well as the methods for evaluation of landscape-elements and characteristics.

Subjects and methods are developed and defined in the preparation to be applied in the project week. Based on the assessments actions will be developed that are adapted to the definde question or problem in the light of a desirable development.
Lecture notesNo script. The documents, consisting of presentation documents of the individual preparatory inputs and associated materials, are available on Moodle.
LiteratureWill be named in the course.
Prerequisites / NoticeRequirements are an interest in landscape-related issues and commitment to developing proposals for solutions.

103-0468-00LParticipatory Environmental Modeling3 credits2GN. Salliou, B. Black, A. Grêt-Regamey, J. Schuur
AbstractThe lecture engages students in a participatory modelling process of diverse, real-world, environmental problems working alongside a partner organisation. This years case studies come from three external organisations: Rewilding Appenines, University of Belize and Consorzio Forestale del Canavese.
Learning objectiveIn this course students will learn:

• The process of developing a model to address an environmental problem: from choosing an appropriate technique (Agent-based modelling, Bayesian Networks and System dynamics), to conceptualization and model building.

• Communication and facilitation skills to foster effective and legitimate collaboration with stakeholders.

Students then apply this knowledge and skills to a real-life case study, creating a model with stakeholders to address an environmental problem.
ContentThis year the case studies will be :

• Coexistence between Bears and Humans in the Apennines (Italy) in and around Abruzzo National Park. Partner: Paula Mayer from Rewilding Appenines

• What is the land suitability for the Mayan Nut production in Belize. Partner: Ivis Chan from University of Belize - Environmental Research Institute

• How sugar production impact local communities well being in Belize? Partner: Anwar Wade from University of Belize - Environmental Research Institute

• What are the socio-ecological impacts of the Consorzio Forestale del Canavese (Italy) forest management plan? Partner: Igor Vigna from the Consorzio Forestale del Canaveze

• Exploring the spatial suitability for Solar Energy infrastructure in Switzerland. Partner: Franziska Walther - ETH
