To take this course, students must have a command of Catalan and/or Spanish at level B2 or higher.
The course is designed for third-year students and therefore assumes that the knowledge taught in first- and second-year subjects has already been acquired.
Proficiency in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is essential.
This is a compulsory third-year course, part of the “Territorial Planning” subject area.
The main objective of the course is for students to acquire the necessary knowledge to implement a planning process, as well as its environmental assessment.
To achieve this, the course sets out the following specific objectives:
Unit 1: Introduction to Planning, Land-Use Regulation, and Evaluation
Unit 2: Planning Process
Unit 3: Land-Use Regulation
Unit 4: Evaluation
Unit 5: Evaluation Process
Unit 6: Use of Evaluation
Unit 7: Ethics in Planning, Regulation, and Evaluation
Unit 8: Practical Cases and Case Studies
Unit 9: Trends and Challenges in Planning, Regulation, and Evaluation
Unit 10: The Local Scale in Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Policies
Unit 11: Development of Mitigation and Adaptation Actions for Climate Change

The initial sessions of the course are dedicated to theoretical instruction, followed by a field trip and the development of a municipal climate change mitigation plan or a drought emergency plan, which will be monitored during tutorial sessions.
During the field trip, the Faculty’s Field Trip Protocol will be applied. Students will have access to specific safety documentation for activities conducted outside the UAB campus, which they must read and accept.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The course assessment is based on the following components:
To pass the course, students must:
Additionally, students must attend the following compulsory in-person activities to be eligible for final assessment:
Exam and assignment submission dates will be communicated to students in advance and cannot be modified individually (except in exceptional and duly justified cases).
Erasmus students requesting to take an exam early must present a written document from their home university justifying the request.
The date of the resit exam will be set by the Faculty and is non-negotiable.
At the time of each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform students (via Moodle) of the procedure and date for grade review.
To be eligible for resits, students must have been previously assessed in activities that account for at least two-thirds of the total grade.
Only activities that have been previously assessed and failed may be resubmitted.
The field trip and in-class presentations are not eligible for resit.
Assessment activities with detected irregularities are not eligible for resit.
Students will receive a "Not assessable" grade if they have not submitted any activity or have only submitted the first one. Submitting two or more activities implies that the course has been followed.
If a student commits any irregularity that may significantly affect the grade of an assessment activity, that activity will be graded with 0, regardless of any disciplinary action.
If multiple irregularities are detected in the same course, the final grade will be 0.
In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies is allowed as part of the project development, provided that the final result reflects a significant contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection.
Students must clearly identify which parts were generated using AI, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the process and final outcome.
Lack of transparency in AI use will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a grade penalty or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
This course does not offer a single-assessment option.
