- Design of geodatabases
- Network analysis
- Cost analysis
- Spatial modelling
- Geodesign techniques
- Public Participation GIS (PPGIS)
Program of practices:
- Design of a geodatabase
- Solving of spatial and land analysis problems with GIS

During the development of the subject, the students will acquire or improve the following competences:
A) Basic and general competences:
CB02. Students will know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their ability to resolve problems in new or undefined environments within multidisciplinary contexts both research and professional.
CB03. Students will have the skills for autonomous learning, taking a proactive approach to problem-solving and thinking.
CB05. Students will learn to work autonomously, to make decisions, to prioritize and develop an ability to adapt to changing environments.
CG01. Acquisition of high-level knowledge, tools and resources to meet the research and professional expectations of the student and society regarding the study of the land planning and management or some of its most outstanding areas.
CG02. Development and management of research concepts, methods and tools in geographical and land analysis for specific purposes.
CG03. Training in the main techniques of spatial and georeferenced information collection and subsequent processing in geospatial databases.
CG04. Training in various cross-cutting analysis and research techniques characterized by their versatility within the interdisciplinary paradigm of land studies and analysis.
B) Cross-cutting competences:
CT01. Ability to search and select information
CT02. Analytical and synthesis capability
CT04. Knowledge of the main sources of cartographic and land information
CT05. Use of the main GIS softwares
C) Specific competences:
CE04. Capability to carry out processes of analysis, evaluation and diagnosis of the territory, the environment, urban planning, land uses and land ownership from an economic, social and environmental point of view
CE05. Training to extract, analyze and present the information required for decision-making in land and environmental planning and management.
CE08. Knowledge of the techniques, tools and technologies that allow efficient land planning and management at different scales (regional, urban, etc.).
SCENARIO 1
The main teaching methodologies, among those defined in the memory of the degree, which will be used in the development of this subject and the competences worked in each of them are the following ones:
Masterclasses (competences CB02, CG01, CG02, CG03, CG04, CT04, CT05).
Practical lectures in computer room (competences CB02, CB03, CB05, CG01, CG02, CG03, CG04, CT04, CT05).
Works (competences CB02, CB03, CB05, CG03, CG04, CT01, CT02, CT04, CT05).
Individual and group tutorials (competences CB02, CB03).
SCENARIO 2 AND SCENARIO 3.
The teaching methodology will be the same as in scenario 1, since, although the subject will be taught in person on the Campus of Lugo, students will be able to attend the lectures via videoconferencing from the Campus of Santiago de Compostela. Therefore, if necessary, in both scenario 2 and 3, students will be able to attend online both theoretical and practical lectures.
SCENARIO 1
General considerations: the grade of the test must be equal to or greater than 4 to pass the subject. Attendance at practical lectures must be greater than 80% for the qualification of the memory of practices to be considered in the calculation of the final grade. In the event that the student does not pass the subject, the partial grades will be retained for the following calls. For exceptional reasons (work or illness) the student will be given the option to replace attendance at practical lectures with a practical exam. In the event that the student is granted exemption from attendance, he/she must take a practical examination of the contents taught in the interactive classes. These evaluation procedure will be used on both the ordinary and extraordinary opportunities.
Test for competence evaluation: a final examination of the contents of the theoretical programme will be carried out.
Valuation of participation: both class attendance and active participation and involvement in the theoretical and practical lectures will be assessed.
Development of works and memory of practical lectures: the student must provide a memory of the practical lectures.
The final grade will be obtained by assessing the corresponding competences in the following proportion:
Test for competence evaluation (30%): competences CB02, CG01, CG02, CG03, CG04, CT04, CT05
Memory of practical lectures (60%): competences CB02, CB03, CB05, CG01, CG02, CG03, CG04, , CT01, CT02, CT04, CT05
Valuation of participation (10%): competences CB02, CB03.
SCENARIO 2
The assessment system will be the same as in scenario 1.
SCENARIO 3
The written test will be replaced by two additional works, which will be added to the memory of practical lectures. Consequently, in this scenario the requirements of minimum qualification in the written test, attendance at practical classes and practical examination in the case of exemption from assistance or exceptional causes disappear. In the event that the student does not pass the subject, the partial grades of the work will be retained for the following calls.
The final qualification will be obtained by assessing the corresponding competences as follows:
Development of works and memory of practical lectures (90%): competences CB02, CB03, CB05, CG01, CG02, CG03, CG04, , CT01, CT02, CT04, CT05
Valuation of participation (10%): competences CB02, CB03
In the casesof fraudulent development of exercises or tests, the "Normative of student academic performance assessment and grade review" will be applied.
This subject has assigned a total of 9 presential hours of theoretical lectures, 12 presential hours of practical lectures and 3 hours of tutorials.
Basic knowledge of GIS is required.
CONTINGENCY PLAN
In scenario 2 and in scenario 3 the teaching methodology will be the same as in scenario 1.
In scenario 3 the assessment system will be modified in the following way:
The written test will be replaced by two additional works, which will be added to the memory of practical lectures. Consequently, in this scenario the requirements of minimum qualification in the written test, attendance at practical classes and practical examination in the case of exemption from assistance or exceptional causes disappear. In the event that the student does not pass the subject, the partial grades of the work will be retained for the following calls.
The final qualification will be obtained by assessing the corresponding competences as follows:
Development of works and memory of practical lectures (90%): competences CB02, CB03, CB05, CG01, CG02, CG03, CG04, , CT01, CT02, CT04, CT05
Valuation of participation (10%): competences CB02, CB03
In the casesof fraudulent development of exercises or tests, the "Normative of student academic performance assessment and grade review" will be applied.
