Learning outcomes:

The purpose of the course is to facilitate the understanding that tend to be occupied by "landscape quality" in territorial and urban policies, as well the way in which are formulated and implemented policies to protect the landscape at different spatial levels.

Content:

In parallel, the idea of ​​protecting the landscape made ​​its way into the official vocabulary and European legislation (see Convention on the Protection of landscape). Major changes in society today - globalization, promoting sustainable development, urban competition - dramatically affect the landscape and transform it.
In this context, the course aims that, starting from the concepts already learned and analyzed - urban landscape, rural landscape, macro, landscape - to insist on how public policy is influenced by landscape dynamics. The landscape is seen as subject and as a product of these policies, with all the complex relation to economic policy, social, and cultural infrastructure, and the environmental ones.
Approaching different types of landscape, the course will look at how are formulated, promoted and implemented various policies focused on landscape, will outline the way in which strategic planning and participatory models of landscape, and techniques for defining the objectives of such policies induce landscape quality or change.The course will emphasize the characteristics of policies on landscape, rural and urban, cultural; The influences that urbanization, urban waste, industrialization or-industrialization and tourism have on landscape dynamics will be the topics of lectures including references to separate "actors" involved and the tools for "hard" or "soft" intervention on the landscape.
Will be presented options that substantiate the evolutionary scenario of landscape, planning regulations or programs for urban development or territorial equipment.

Teaching Method:

The course includes lecturesfollowed by case presentations and discussions with students, especially in terms of landscape situation in Romania, in big cities or in rural areas. Given the other subjects / modules, the course will focus on priorities targeting elements and techniques in formulating and implementing policies. Students will be asked to exercise them - individually or in groups - the analysis of situations and detailed formulation of policies on landscape components

Assessment:

Exam (60%), Class involvement ( 40%),
