Landscape Planning (B.Sc.)
Learning objectives/learning content
The lecture provides an overview of landscape planning and related environmental planning instruments. In addition to historical considerations on the self-image of the discipline and the development in the legal-instrumental area, the main focus is on landscape planning, impact regulation, FFH impact assessment and protected areas according to the Federal Nature Conservation Act and the corresponding state laws as well as environmental assessments according to UVPG, BauGB and ROG.
Notes
This course is an element of the compulsory module 19 "Sectoral Planning Landscape and Environment", which is completed with an oral module examination with 2 additional credits. As the lecture "Landscape Planning" builds on the lecture "Landscape Ecology", it is strongly recommended that students attend the lecture "Landscape Ecology" before beginning the lecture "Landscape Planning".
The module examination for all students according to BSc-PO 2012 covers the contents of the lectures "Landscape Ecology" and "Landscape Planning" in equal parts. Due to the resulting compactness of the examination, it is no longer possible to begin the examination with an introductory presentation.
