"Fieldwork is often an essential component to acquire reference data for calibration and validation of the remotely sensed observations. This course provides skills and techniques to plan, execute and report on field observations. The course starts with an introduction to in-situ field measurement devices and lab equipment, and demonstrates standard operational procedures when analysing samples in the laboratory. Subsequently, students have to design their own field data collection based on a self-defined objective, e.g. which parameters are required and how to conduct sampling, which instruments are required, how to measure, sampling procedures and storing of samples. Considering focus group interviews how to prepare the questionnaires and review of ethical considerations. Another element would be the timing related to eventual satellite overpass or image acquisition in the terrain and collection of available information from installed in-situ measuring devices. \n\nBeing well prepared, a 3 day fieldwork is envisaged for practical collecting data in a fieldwork area with participants from multiple disciplines: water, natural and earth resources. \n\nOnce back, the data collected has to be analysed in the lab or subject to further processing. In the end, students are required to present their results obtained and have to report on the procedures applied, reflect on the quality of obtained results, and describe their analysis conducted into more detail.

"Addressing current and future societal challenges or urban areas around the world requires integrating thinking and insights where space, society and technology intersect. This new geo-socio-technical approach to of solving urban and land problem demands a new way of working and indeed re-conceiving of the tools and methods that inform our solutions to these challenges. Advancements in planning support and decision making technologies have enabled evidence-based scenario planning but failed in engaging a broad range of non-experts in future-oriented planning practice that accounts for deep uncertainty and complexity of societal challenges.\nIn this studio course, student groups engage in challenge-based learning of a real-world spatial problem setting. Geospatial and participatory technologies for systematic analysis of locational phenomena and spatial characteristics will be applied in combination with methods for eliciting local experiential knowledge of residents and other societal actors to disentangle wicked problem settings and underlying root causes and to develop visions of a sustainable urban and land future. Goal of studio-based learning approach is to provide a policy making authority with integrated insights and inspiration for new methods for producing sage, and to co-design together with them future-oriented strategies and interventions in an inclusive manner.\nIn this course students are exposed to various lab facilities of ITC and learn how to make use of them for data collection, stakeholder interaction and collaborative planning and decision making.
