Profession Formation

IPT has always paid great attention to education and training. Specific programmes have been created to provide its clients, who include Public Administrations, a specific service for the preparation of Technical Analysts able to carry out evermore complex tasks in the planning, management, development and control of territorial resources.

For this purpose, IPT offers a specific Training Course for the training of “Territorial Analysts”, specialized technicians able to use, operate and develop Territorial Informational Systems (S.I.T.) for Administrations, Companies and public or private Authorities..

The Territorial Analysts will be competent to use the most advanced technology to produce and update the basic cartography, conduct a census on Territorial Resources and supply the appropriate tools to Public and Private Structures in charge of shaping and planning the territory. There are supplementary course units, the basic and advanced study of GIS and a unit devoted to the treatment of images obtained by satellite remote sensing technology.

The IPT courses tend to satisfy the growing demand from large sectors of the public administration, professions, and graduates (agronomists, environmentalists, architects, forest rangers, geologists, engineers, and life-scientists) with great ability in computerized territorial management and environmental monitoring

Courses in GIS and remote sensing technology.

The Geographical Information System is “ an organized ensemble of hardware, software and personnel for the acquisition, management, analysis and display of alphanumeric and graphical information relating to a given territory”. The GIS is an important and necessary tool for the training of operators in the area of environmental science and education, including the carrying out of relevant educational activities, for updating , assisting the interchange of data of different types and sources, and the processes of communication and dialogue. The GIS makes it possible to specify procedures for the design of coordinated and univocal data bases and archives, the transmission of data and cartography, and facilitates the collection and reading of data.

Objectives

The purpose of the course is to learn how a GIS (Geographical Information System) can be used to obtain a much better knowledge of the territory, analyse and synthesize information in environmental education. As a teaching methodology, knowledge of the multiplicity of environmental aspects confluent in the concept of “territory” is tested (by direct reading methods and the use of objective instruments, such as cartography and remote sensing, duly supported by geographical information systems) for the purpose of obtaining a correct evaluation of the conditions and characteristics of places.

Contents

Cartography, remote sensing and geographical information systems must be tools for:

assisting teaching and study, with particular emphasis on geography and environmental sciences;
interdisciplinary connection among technical-scientific subjects, humanistic sciences- literary subjects and languages;
assessment in objective terms of environmental problems;
geodatabase planning, integration of GIS applications (geomarketing, traking, territorial analysis)
