	Objectives
	The main objective of the laboratory is to help train a professional figure with strong operational and technological skills, capable of effectively using various tools to support building processes, interventions on the built heritage and for land defense. The student will acquire operational and technological skills in the field of modern three-dimensional surveying techniques and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), delving into the use of topographic instrumentation such as total stations, levels, GNSS receivers and Laser Scanners. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS The student will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the main methods and tools peculiar to Geomatics, as well as the existing types of digital data and how they are acquired. He/she will be able to understand the potential of using Geomatics in the planning and management of the territory and the built environment. He/she will also integrate his/her knowledge of instrumental surveying methodologies and become familiar with types and characteristics of measurement errors. He/she will have a comprehensive view of the application areas and technologies used in Geomatics. In addition, the student will acquire the ability to read and draft specific contents of the Municipal Urban Plan using GIS tools, as well as an understanding of the terminologies used in the Technical Implementation Standards of that plan. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING The student will be able to use appropriate terminology to describe geomatic tools, methods, and data. He/she will be able to link digital data acquisition methodologies to the type of data that can be analyzed, as well as to import, manage and analyze raster and vector data within a Geographic Information System. In addition, he or she will be able to use Information Systems to create cartography for land planning and management and to access digital spatial databases. The student will also be able to examine the technical devices of a Municipal Urban Plan, as well as elaborate the cognitive scenarios of the territory to support the choices of such a plan. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT The student will acquire the competence to make autonomous judgments on data survey methodologies for the control and management of the territory and built heritage, as well as on the quality of the data acquired and their processing. In addition, he or she will develop the ability to critically evaluate the application of different surveying techniques, integrating them when necessary, and to assess the quality of the results obtained. The student will also be able to organize a database to support the interpretation of the Municipal Urban Plan and use GIS software.

	Teaching Methods
	The learning process in the laboratory course is mainly based on practical exercises. These include: - Use of instruments such as GNSS receivers, total stations, levels, laser scanners and photogrammetry to survey a portion of land and subsequent processing of the acquired data. - Creation of a Geodatabase in a GIS environment using spatial data collected during surveying. - Spatial analysis of complex data using GIS software and common Geoprocessing operators. - Construction of cognitive frameworks to support urban planning actions. The laboratory “Modelli” and ReSLEHM at the University of Salerno provide support for the application of surveying techniques, allowing students a hands-on-operational approach to the discipline. The Technical and Urban Planning laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering provides support for the application of spatial analyzes in a GIS environment to practical cases of urban planning.

	Verification of learning
	Students will be evaluated through a single final examination, which consists of an oral interview. Final proficiency depends on the successful performance of the planned exercises and the acquisition of the expected knowledge and skills, assessed through the oral interview. Active participation in the practical exercises and continuous assessment will be considered in the evaluation. Finally, students will present a final project evaluated on the application of techniques learned during the course. The evaluation will take into account the results achieved, is unique, and is expressed in thirtieths. For the purpose of awarding honors, the following will be considered: - The quality of the exposition, in terms of the use of appropriate technical language. - The ability to cross-correlate between the different topics of the course and, where possible, with other disciplines. - The autonomy of judgment demonstrated.
