The Curricular Unit aims to provide theoretical-practical knowledge in the domain of spatial representation and analysis of diverse georeferenced information, underpinning technical decision-making, optimizing the management of territories, systems and infrastructures, and evaluating evolving scenarios.
It develops the following competencies:
A) Mastery of data acquisition, processing and spatial analysis techniques for diagnosis, planning, project development and management;
B) Understanding of the objectives and functionalities of GIS;
C) Knowledge of integrated digital spatial representation formats;
E) Recognition of the potential of advanced spatial analysis in Architecture.
These objectives align with the teaching method (theoretical-practical classes), as theoretical exposition provides conceptual foundations, while practice promotes autonomous and progressive application, fitting the student-centered pedagogical model.
