Introdução ao Ordenamento do Território
This course unit introduces the most fundamental concepts, tools and variables in land planning which can be used in terms of environmental management. The course unit also aims at demonstrating that land planning and the environment are complementary, which can be used as acts which are coordinated and irreplaceable, not oppositionary.
