Students acquire deep theoretical knowledge on the functioning of the city as a geosystem in order to understand urban planning as a field of practical activity, the characteristics of the city as an object of planning for its sustainable development; the formation of ecological thinking and the ability to preserve and multiply scientific values ​​and achievements of society in urban planning activities, the acquisition of practical skills in analyzing changes in environmental components in the conditions of the city's functioning; the acquisition of practical skills in synthesizing various information about the state of the city's geocomponents; the formation of the ability to apply knowledge and understanding of the main characteristics of the components of the geographical envelope, the formation of the ability to use theories specific to geographical sciences, as well as to apply geoinformation technologies in the study of the geocomponents of cities.

Full-time form

1. To be able to analyze the features of natural and anthropogenic processes in the geographical envelope, be able to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the state of geocomponents and predict changes in them. 2. Know the main features of the functioning of natural geosystems that are affected by anthropogenic, in particular urban development activities; principles and methods for ensuring the sustainable development of urban ecosystems. 3. Know modern quantitative and qualitative methods of geographical research, be able to apply them in production and research activities; be able to model objects and processes using modern quantitative and qualitative methods and geoinformation technologies.

This academic discipline is dedicated to the study of the features of the history and economic use of natural resources by man, as well as the current state of geocomponents in urban areas; changes in urban geosystems from the natural state, through the history of economic development to the present, which makes it possible to understand its real development at the beginning of the 21st century. and with less cost to stabilize undesirable natural and, in part, social processes. The discipline is aimed at forming in students special professional, social and personal competencies, accumulation of knowledge about the possibility of critical thinking, analysis and synthesis, the ability to search, process and analyze information from various sources, the ability to identify, formulate and solve problems in the field of urban planning, the formation and functioning of the urban geosystem. Separate components of the discipline are the study of the features of the development of geocomponents in urban areas; anthropogenic factors that play the greatest role in the functioning of geosystems of urban areas; principles of rational use and protection of landscape components from the influence of adverse environmental factors arising in urban ecosystems; methods for conducting research on geosystems in urban areas; methods for increasing the sustainability of urban landscapes. The functional block of the discipline involves mastering such components as the ability to apply basic knowledge of natural sciences and information technologies in the system of urban planning activities, the ability to apply simple quantitative and qualitative methods in the study of urban geosystems, the ability to independently investigate and analyze spatio-temporal changes in the parameters of geocomponents for the purposes of urban planning.

Practical work, discourse, test, credit. The course has 2 content parts. Classes are held in the form of lectures and practical work. The discipline ends with a credit. Semester assessment: the number of points that a student receives during the semester is the sum of the points that were obtained when evaluating the completed practical work, surveying and performing thematic tests. Assessment organization: a survey in test and written form is conducted after the completion of teaching each topic. Practical work is defended upon completion, in accordance with the schedule of practical classes. Thematic tests are conducted in test form. Students who received less than the minimum required number of points for the thematic test are retaken.
