Learning outcomes

Il corso si propone di far acquisire agli studenti la conoscenza della cartografia intesa come linguaggio della geografia e come modo espressivo dell’organizzazione spaziale. Partendo dalle prime espressioni grafiche dello spazio, declinando i rispettivi processi teorico-pratici, si arriverà all’uso pratico dei GIS e GPS e alla loro applicazione in campo geografico, archeologico, storico e culturale. Ripercorrendo la storia della tecnica cartografica si evidenzieranno processi mentali, relazioni interdisciplinari, finalità e obiettivi mediante i quali l’uomo ha organizzato e progetta il futuro dei territori a diversa scala. La sua conoscenza, in quanto forma di linguaggio e mezzo di comunicazione, mira a fornire le chiavi interpretative per la decodifica dei messaggi visivi interessati.
