Objectives
To give students knowledge about the use of territory and public risk management, of flood modeling, and analysis of natural and anthropogenic risks. At the end of the curricular unit students should have the following abilities:
• Comprehension of models to support human activities in territory.
• Expertise in urban management to deal with natural and anthropogenic risks.
• Expertise in flood modeling.
• Comprehension of flood risk assessment.
• Expertise in simulation tools to natural and anthropogenic risks
Prerequisites
Approval iat PRU course

Teaching method
In theoretical-practical classes (4h/week) the theoretical issues are presented and explained to students and at the end of each subchapter those issues are applied to solve academic problems.
