Learning outcomes:

Objectives: The course aims to assimilate basic concepts and methods regarding the cultural landscape in relation to the phenomena of territorial development, a topic of great importance and topicality, promoted at the level of the European Union. The aim is to acquaint students with skills related to the valorisation of cultural landscape elements in the planning for sustainable development.

The course starts from the understanding of the relationship between the natural and the anthropic heritage, of the basic notions for the operational integration of this concept in the landscape planning practice. Basic elements for understanding the cultural landscape under its material and immaterial aspects are developed as an essential component of development (cognitive skills). The result is the formation of a responsible attitude towards the cultural landscape, as well as the ability to implement specific methods of identifying and classifying the cultural landscape to be used in planning and management processes
