| SBP3040 | @Vulnerability and Resilience in Planning | 2+0+0 | ECTS:4 | | Year / Semester | Spring Semester | | Level of Course | First Cycle | | Status | Elective | | Department | DEPARTMENT of URBAN and REGIONAL PLANNING | | Prerequisites and co-requisites | None | | Mode of Delivery | | | Contact Hours | 14 weeks - 2 hours of lectures per week | | Lecturer | Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Berna Sezen ÖZEN | | Co-Lecturer | | | Language of instruction | Turkish | | Professional practise ( internship ) | None | | | | The aim of the course: | | In planning, risk, vulnerability, and resilience are defined using different variables and measurement methods at different scales, therefore the definitions and types of these concepts (social, economic, environmental (ecological), physical, institutional/political, community, urban, and rural vulnerability and resilience) can vary. For this reason, the aim of the course is to enable students to define the concepts of risk, vulnerability, and resilience at different scales and types in planning, learn about related indicators and measurement methods, examine and interpret spatial and thematic analyses, establish relationships with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), examine national and international practices, and develop strategies/policies and guidelines. |
