The aim of the course:
Adoption of systems approach in urban and regional planning studies; use of urban models in planning problems; allocation of population, employment and economic activities of cities and regions to inner and inter city regions by use of gravity/potential/spatial interaction models; determining suitable areas for different sectors and activities through location models; comprehension of decision making methods and models in planning.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : comprehend systems, their features, systems approach and analysis in planning.2,5,121,3,
LO - 2 : learn modelling concept, its purpose and development of models in solving the planning problems, and will be able to differentiate between different types of models.2,5,121,3,
LO - 3 : model the population, employment and economic activities in urban and regional planning. 2,5,121,3,
LO - 4 : apply different decision making methods and models in solving planning problems. 2,5,121,3,
LO - 5 : determine suitable areas for different urban and regional sectors and activities by use of location models.2,5,121,3,
LO - 6 : allocate population, employment and economic activities of cities and regions to inner and inter city regions by use of gravity/potential/spatial interaction models and they will be able to calibrate these models. 2,5,121,3,
