Rudiments of Spacial Planning in Natural Environment

In the lecture, students acquire knowledge of the relevant natural conditions for spatial planning. This acquired knowledge relates to the protected goods of the natural area:

• Rock, geology, soil and land

• Water bodies and rivers

• Ice, glaciers and snow

• Climate, urban climatology and settlement ecology

• Humans, fauna, flora, biotopes and connectivity

• Landscape and scenery

• Cultural and material assets

The individual protected goods, which define independent subject areas from a sectoral perspective, are always placed in a spatial planning context in order to convey the content from an application-orientated and practical perspective. In this way, the protected natural assets are always placed in relation to the various spatial uses, utilisation requirements and scope for action.
