This practice serves as an introduction to the subject Environmental Planning in the 6th semester.
Its extended title: Deconstructing the Curonian Spit Landscape into Fine-Scale Territorial Units (FTUs) and Creating Representative Models for a “Landscape Gallery”.
The aim is to provide students with basic skills in interdisciplinary territorial analysis by breaking down natural landscapes (relief and vegetation) into components and reassembling them into typical territorial units. The practice integrates elements of geomorphology, soil science, botany, and forestry.
Main stages of the work:
- Selecting and mapping characteristic landscape units on site (e.g., dune ridge, palve, deflation basin, old-growth forest);
- Geodetic measurements, photo documentation, field sketches;
- Data processing, cartography, 3D terrain and vegetation modeling;
- Graphic presentation of results (plans, sections, 3D visuals).
Group work (2–3 students). Deliverables: printed and digital format.
Submission: in print (based on specific tasks assigned to each group during consultations) and in digital format.
