According to the Dublin descriptors, the objectives of
the course are to develop:
• knowledge and understanding of the main issues
inherent to human geography, such as, for example, the fundamental role of
human work in the creation of different places, landscapes, cultural values
and political assets in the world;
• the ability to recognize and describe the different
demographic processes taking place in the various areas of the world
• the ability to apply the method of analogies and
between the current demographic dynamics and the consequent territorial
arrangements in the various areas (inland-coast, rural and urban areas, Asia,
Americas, Africa, Europe, Oceania.
• the ability to develop independent judgment on the
knowledge acquired and to make decisions in responsible and conscious way;
• the ability to use the knowledge acquired to
document, report and effectively communicate particular aspects relating to
issues of environmental degradation and excessive pressure of the population in
the poorest and most fragile areas of our planet.
The
course aims to provide students with the skills necessary for the
interpretation of the ongoing demographic processes that are reshaping the
territorial structures on a planetary scale. Particular attention is paid to
international migration, as a powerful factor of global transformation not only
of the economic context, but also of the social and cultural one.
