Learning Objectives
The course wants to provide you indispensable knowledges both on environmental and territorial issues and on local and global challenges where we are called to ask effectively and quickly. To the main themes and problems of human geography will be added knowledge on cartographic representations.
Program
The course is structured in three parts.
The first part is about the development of the discipline through one of its key topics: the landscape.
Going through the second part will be explained issues between the human and the environment (climate changes; safeguarding water, soil and rocks and the biological resources) and human geography (concepts and methods. The world's population relationship with the environment and natural resources; culture and territory).
In the last part we are going to study the tools of geography like the graphic representation, the cartography or the satellite images.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
The student must have the basic knowledge, the methods and the issues of the geographic science also in relation with other disciplines. He must demonstrate to understand concepts and theories provided by the course but also the ability to use this knowledge to reason according to the specific logic of the discipline in subsequent studies. He must be able to think and make personal judgements about geographic themes for their use with teaching or professional application.
