Spatial planning and territorial transition

Land use planning provides a foundation for the management and revitalisation of rural areas, enabling them to tackle today’s major demographic, economic and environmental challenges. Our research focuses on land use planning from a rural perspective, based on an analysis of the specific characteristics, potential and requirements of these areas, and adopting a holistic and integrated approach.  

With this objective in mind, our research areas cover a range of topics: 

  1. Spatial planning of agroforestry uses based on the physical, socio-economic and environmental land suitability. Analysis and modelling of the spatiotemporal evolution of land use for territorial diagnosis. 
  2. The analysis and planning of rural population settlements, including infrastructure, services and facilities. 
  3. The characterisation, assessment and planning of the landscape. 
  4. The development of planning support systems based on geospatial information technologies and spatial simulation and optimisation models.
  5. The design and implementation of public participation and citizen science systems aimed at achieving more democratic and inclusive spatial planning processes.
