| 102-0516-AAL | Environmental Impact Assessment Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. | 3 credits | 6R | S.‑E. Rabe | |
| Abstract | Focus of the course are the method, the process and content of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as well as the legal bases and methods for compiling an environmental impact study (EIS). Excursions provide a comprehensive view of the EIA. Using exemplary projects, the process of an EIA will be worked out by the students. | ||||
| Learning objective | - Understanding the context of spatial planning and environmental protection - Ability to use central planning instruments and procedures for assessing the environmental impacts and risks of projects - Ability to apply quantitative methods to assess the environmental impacts and risks of projects - Knowledge about the process and content of an EIA - a capacity for critical review of environmental impact assessments | ||||
| Content | - Nominal and functional environmental protection in Switzerland - Instruments of environmental protection - Need for coordination between environmental protection and spatial planning - Environmental Protection and environmental impact assessment - Legal basis of the EIA - Procedure of EIA - Content of the EIA - Application of the impact analysis - Monitoring and Controlling - View regarding the strategic environmental assessment (SEA) - Excursions to projects obligated under the EIA | ||||

Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. | 5 credits | 11R | S.‑E. Rabe | |
| Abstract | The lecture introduce into the main-features of spatial planning. Attended will be the themes planning as a national responsibility, instruments of spatial planning, techniques for problem-solutions in spatial planning and the swiss concept for regional planning. | ||||
| Learning objective | - To get to know the interaction between the community and our living space and their resulting conflicts. - Link theory and practice in spatial planning. - To get to know instruments and facilities to process problems in spatial planning. | ||||
| 103-0338-00L | Project Week in Landscape Development  Number of participants limited to 24. | 5 credits | 9P | S.‑E. Rabe, E. Celio, A. Grêt-Regamey | |
| Abstract | In particular, the aspects measuring, understanding and assessing of landscape-relevant land-use, requirements and developments will be taught. Concerning the landscape development in a project area, aims will be developed and corresponding actions defined. | ||||
| Learning objective | The students are able to: - recognize and undestand the context of arrangement of a landscape - assess a landscape in its entirety and in its single-elements - understand and apply the concepts of the landscape approach - prepare and provide substantiated actions | ||||
| Content | The course consists of - theoretical inputs from internal and external speakers - a preliminary excursion to the project area - exercises for preparation - the project week and the preparation of a report Depending on the subject area to be processed (eg. water, landscape aesthetics, natural hazards, nature conservation), different methods are used. This applies to both the methods of investigation of landscape-elements and characteristics as well as the methods for evaluation of landscape-elements and characteristics. Subjects and methods are developed and defined in the preparation to be applied in the project week. Based on the assessments actions will be developed that are adapted to the definde question or problem in the light of a desirable development. | ||||
