Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

This curricular unit aims at the study of Spatial Planning (ST). Its main objectives are:
- To study the ST in its multiple aspects, as a scientific discipline, an administrative technique and a policy that develops in an interdisciplinary and integrated perspective.
- Explore the fundamentals of territorial planning, presenting different approaches to territorial planning and management.
- Acquire knowledge of the instruments of support to the planning of the territory, through its study and the mechanisms of integration of associated environmental and landscape variables

Syllabus

1.Introduction and concepts of planning and spatial planning (P.S.P.)
Historical evolution of planning and spatial planning. Territorial planning as a post-industrial revolution phenomenon. The great schools of planning. The evolution of the occupation of the territory and the problems. Sustainable development and the contribution of territorial planning.

2.The planning process in S.P.
Levels of planning and scales. Evolution of planning mechanisms in Spatial Planning: the Rational or Plan model Image; Strategic Planning; o Planning for sustainable development (Agenda 21); Performance Evaluation - use of Indicators.
The functioning of urban and regional spaces: characterization, diagnosis and prediction methodologies of: Demography, Housing, Equipment, Transport and Mobility.
Biophysical planning. Definition of load capacities, skills and potentialities. Identification of impacts.

3.Instruments of Spatial Planning
3.1.Structure structuring systems
Urban system; mobility and accessibility system; environmental protection and valuation systems (ecological structure, Protected Areas, Natura 2000 Network, green corridors). REN and RAN: objectives, delimitation, weaknesses, potentialities and compatible uses.
Territorial planning instruments: Regional Development Plans and Operational Programs. Typology of territorial management instruments at the National, Regional and Municipal levels; Regulatory Instruments and Conditions (easements and restrictions).
Public participation in planning and main actors: monitoring and monitoring of plans. Different models of Participation.
The environmental component of the instruments; articulation between nature conservation and spatial planning.
Integration of the hydrological cycle in urban planning and design: areas of flood risk, permeability and retention. Risks in land use planning.

3.2.Portuguese Spatial Planning
Territorial diagnostics. The state and perspectives of Portuguese Spatial Planning.

4.Planning of Green Infrastructures (IV)
Basic concepts: green infrastructure, green corridor, ecological structure, urban ecological structure, green spaces, cycle paths.
Importance of services provided by IV (economic, social and ecological benefits). The principles of composition and sustainable management of green spaces. Integration of the IV in territorial management instruments.

5. Coastal Management and Coastal Zone Integrated Management
The problem of the occupation of ecologically sensitive areas and vulnerable to environmental and technological risks and the resilience of coastal systems.
Impacts of territorial artificialization, the importance of territorial cargo capacity and the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities.
Management of coastal resources and associated activities (tourism, leisure, recreation and ports). Management, organization and port logistics. The IV and Beach Management. Sustainable planning of tourist areas (resorts). The IV and the management of coastal urban fronts.
Planning and Integrated Management of Coastal and Marine Zones. Governmental and non-governmental entities involved in the management of coastal zones. The national law of the sea and coastal areas. The Maritime Public Domain.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The programmatic content addresses a set of important basic concepts and sources of information for land management that include planning and spatial planning (POT). It also addresses the different instruments and tools available for the training of a technician involved in POT issues. It also focuses on the importance of incorporating green areas and protecting the coast and the environment for the better economic development of the regions.

Teaching methodologies

Expositive method participated, being privileged the interactive formation even in the introduction of theoretical concepts. It is intended to lead students to draw conclusions, guiding them in this process.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The discipline has a practical component in addition to the theoretical one, aiming at illustrating in practice the theoretical concepts using the basis of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology, promoting an integrative and practical perspective of the subject developing in the students: 1) the ability to research, application of the scientific method and organization of written and oral works; 2) know-how skills to acquire knowledge in teamwork; (3) develop a critical spirit in the area of ​​planning and spatial planning.
The teaching methodology uses the expository method of the programmatic contents, with the support of slides that accompany the class, as well as examples and case studies are mentioned and the resolution of some exercises in the TP classes, so that the student can understand better the concepts and apply them in practice if you have to do any work in the POT area.

Assessment methodologies and evidences

The evaluation of the theoretical component is carried out by continuous evaluation through the accomplishment of 1 Test or Final exam in the dates foreseen in the calendar of examinations. The practical component is evaluated through the execution of practical research work, to be carried out in an integrated way with the GI component, to be presented at the end of the semester.

The final grade is obtained by weighing 70% of the continuous evaluation in test or exam and 30% for the practical work development component. Both assessment components will have to be positive, ie with higher marks 9.5 values.
