Class Risk Cartography I

Risk Cartography is recognized for its unavoidable contribution in the knowledge and investigation process, for its role as a differentiating element in the profile of Civil Protection professionals, as well as for its strategic focus on the enhancement of Risk Cartography as an essential tool in the practice of spatial planning.

Not applicable

Analysis of the spatial and temporal dimension of risk Conceptual models in risk theory. Natural risk and anthropic risk Natural processes and risk mapping Geomorphological processes and susceptibility Cartography supported by statistical-based models and physical-based models Mapping vulnerability and risk mapping.  Assessment of the degree of loss and potential damage Assessment of specific risk and total risk Cartography, prevention, perception and spatial planning

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).
