"With lectures, we will introduce you to background knowledge, concepts and theory behind environmental models. Supervised and unsupervised practicals on the environmental models are scheduled throughout the course for hands-on experience. A day is typically closed with a plenary question and answer session. Knowledge is tested with one graded individual assignment and one written test."@en . . . . . . .

"The previous Natural Resource Management (NRM) courses have focused on the inventory natural resources and to detect and assess changes in the environment such as loss of ecosystems and biodiversity, deforestation and forest degradation and threats to food security due to decreased crop yields. Different methods and techniques are available to guide NRM in its efforts to reverse resource degradation or alleviate its consequences. Proper understanding of cause and effect of changes in natural resources is crucial to achieve this. As these changes occur in the real-world, and not in a laboratory set-up, making statements about causal relations is a challenge.\n\nIn this course, students will study generic techniques and apply and evaluate environmental models that aim to estimate change in natural resources in response to environmental changes."@en .

"Understanding urban dynamics and urban growth is crucial for strategic long-term planning of infrastructure, economic development, environmental sustainability, social equity and overall urban resilience. At its core, the interaction between land use and transportation plays a pivotal role in shaping urban dynamics, and such interactions and dynamics can be most efficiently understood by modelling.\nModelling urban dynamics and growth involves the use of various theoretical frameworks that captures transportation infrastructure affects land use patterns and vice versa. In this course, the students will not only be introduced with theories about land use and transportation interactions, but also knowledges and techniques of implementing models that encodes the interactions quantitatively. Several modelling frameworks (to be specified) will be introduced to simulate travel decisions and behaviours, mobility and accessibility, land use land cover changes. On top of developing the modelling capacity, the students will also be trained to assess and interpret the modelled scenarios, so that to link the modelling into the practical context of urban planning and policy making."@en .

"This course aims to develop a critical understanding of spatial planning based on academic discourses, the international development agenda and students' own experiences. Throughout the course the role of spatial data and information systems in urban planning and management will be highlighted and illustrated.\nStudents will develop a spatial understanding of specific urban issues in the students' home country by applying knowledge and skills in spatial information handling. Students are introduced to a set of both spatial and non-spatial methods relevant for the practice of urban planning and management. The concepts of Sustainability, Gentrification and Informality will be introduced and discussed. Available databases and data catalogues are explored to discuss different approaches to sustainability frameworks and assessments, and to understand the urban processes of gentrification and informality."@en .

"Land Administration encompasses four fields i.e. land tenure, land use, land value and land development. These four fields are also referred to as land management practices. This course focuses on the land management practices in the context of the policy frameworks and sustainable development. The land management paradigm is used a guiding framework. The land management paradigm stresses the relationship between land policy and the four land administration functions i.e. land tenure, land value, land use and land development – and the wider societal goals. As such, legal frameworks, institutions, processes, interventions, successes and challenges are discussed in the context of social, economic, environmental pillars of development. Further, how these land management practices also link with emerging issues such as climate change are also discussed. The course therefore addresses both conventional and innovative ways of land management, promoting a paradigm shift towards responsible land administration. The course relates state-of-the-art scientific knowledge to students' experiences, perceptions and country context. "@en . "Responsible Land Administration"@en . .
