ANALISI E RAPPRESENTAZIONE DEI DATI SOCIO- TERRITORIALI
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Licia LIPARIExpected Learning Outcomes
The course focuses on the complex interactions between social phenomena and urban populations through the acquisition of skills for the processing of digital cartography using software such as GIS, QGIS and ArcMap.
Course Structure
The teaching includes lectures and laboratory activities focused on the use of desktop GIS programs.
Required Prerequisites
main approaches and methods
Attendance of Lessons
Attendance is strongly recommended
Detailed Course Content
The course focuses on the concepts, methodology and techniques that contribute to the sociological study of the change in urban societies.
It consists of three phases: an introduction aimed at presenting the "resources" available for socio-territorial analysis;
the second is an application centered on analysis tools and processes;
finally, the third is of a planning and exploratory type and serves as an exercise in the formulation of research questions and hypotheses, in the correct use of data and in the critical interpretation of the results.
Participation in the course offers the opportunity to practice the use of GIS to study and geo-reference phenomena such as marginality, exclusion, vulnerability in a socio-territorial key, sustainable development (Agenda 2030, UN) and, therefore, develop analytical skills useful for planning, managing and implementing interventions social and personal support.

Learning Assessment
Learning Assessment Procedures
The test will be theoretical-practical and will require knowledge of GIS software for the creation of territorial cartography.
