Objectives
Objectives
Course objectives are: To understand several technological and mixed hazards mapping methods Develop skills related to the identification of hazard areas Integrate information on the dynamics of the physical environment with hazard identification Technological and mixed risk modelling in GIS Introduce the risk problem in emergency planning In addition to strengthening of skills for analysis and synthesis, organization and planning, autonomous learning and adaptability to new situations by applying critical thinking and teachings received at the end of the semester the student should be able to: Know and apply several technological and mixed hazard mapping methods Develop skills related to the identification of hazard areas Relate the dynamics of the physical environment with hazard identification Understand the dynamics of physical environment, integrating it into GIS - Articulate hazards with emergency planning processes Produce technological and mixed hazard maps.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
In the context of class, exercises are carried out with different methodologies for constructing risk cartography for various harmful processes, contributing to the broad knowledge of multiple methodologies. Practical work is carried out in groups. This should consider (i) the current state of knowledge on the subject under analysis, objectives and methodologies to be developed; (ii) the methodology developed, presentation and discussion of results and respective risk mapping. ASSESSMENT: Semi-annual, continuous type, according to the ULP Knowledge Assessment Regulation. The continuous type assessment without final exam consists of two written tests (each 25%) to take place during the school year and a practical assignment (which requires a defense of work) (50%).
