Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to ascertain the vision, goals, and objectives of the case study area, formulate landscape development strategies following these, and enhance the skills required for the preparation of the landscape plan.

Course Content

The identification, analysis, and synthesis of spatial opportunities, pressures, and threats in the selected case study areas, and the formulation of strategies and landscape plans (including conservation and sectoral land use decisions) that will contribute to the development of the landscape.

Name of Lecturer(s)
Assoc. Prof. Ebru ERSOY TONYALOĞLU
Learning Outcomes
1.Understanding the landscape planning process and the role of the planner in the process
2.To be able to determine spatial and nonspatial data that can be input to planning in a study area, to compile data, to convert them into usable form, to analyse them
3.Determination of landscape planning vision, aims and objectives in the light of opportunities, pressures and threats through the case study area
4.The formulation and spatial representation of conservation-use based plan decisions on the basis of existing land use conflicts.
5.Gaining skills for the creation and presentation of landscape plan and final report
