Learning outcomes |
Objectives: to analyze the main environmental impacts associated with engineering works and the effect of policies, plans and programs on the environment and propose measures to minimize negative effects on the environment using geographic information systems (GIS) tools.
Skills:
a) Recognition of the environmental consequences arising from the construction, operation and deactivation of engineering works;
b) Understanding the different stages of the environmental impact assessment (AIA) process and the application of strategic environmental assessment (AAE);
c) Understanding the potential of GIS tools for the assessment of environmental impacts, environmental monitoring and strategic environmental assessment.
