Bachelor or basic education AHO
The course accepts student of architecture, students of landscape-architecture and students specializing in the field of service-design.
Basic knowledge of Geographical Information Systems and the use of GIS.
Or – if little knowledge of GIS – well developed computer skills.
The course discusses the consequences of the development of Norwegian Fisheries on land:
- Territorial consequences
- Local consequences in transformation of place
The spatial, territorial consequences are discussed for the whole Norwegian coast. The course is the second in a row of three. In the spring of 2018 we studied Senja, in the autumn of 2018 the territory for study will be Lofoten and Vesterålen.
Local consequences are analysed by the use of case studies.
Statistics and visual material are processed by GIS progreams and methods.
The methodology of the study adapts to OMA/AMO methods in rural studies.
Skills in mapping and in the use of GIS in mapping.
Skills in territorial mapping.
Knowledge and skills in Morphological studies.
Research training giving research capacity.
Skills in putting together and presenting a complex spatial and morphological study.
Knowledge of rural areas that gives ability to understand and do work in these types of contexts.
Lectures and seminars:
- GIS
- Rural and coastal areas
- The Fisheries
Digital work-shop on territorial studies.
Individual Case study
Suplementary information
There are different and overlapping approaches to this cours:
- In the spring of 2017, PAX Forlag presented the book: “Fiskevær – Myr på yttersida” by Karl Otto Ellefsen and Tarald Lundevall. The book discusses the consequences of the transforming Norwegian Fisheries on land. In this case, the abundant cod-fisheries in the north of Norway, and how these fisheries have constituted and changes, spatially and morphologically, territorial habitat and settlements. The intention is to widen the study of spatial consequences of the fisheries to the Norwegian Coast as such, and later to European coastal areas (autumn 2018) and with global case studies (spring 2019)
- Nearly all interests in analysing architecture, habitat and settlement have in the last decades been focused on urban environment. Critical transformation processes in rural areas have not been observed. CAFA works together with CAFA (Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing) with the research project Urbanisation of Rural China/Countryside Construction. This project is linked to the research by OMA/AMO on transformation processes in rural areas globally. Our study of spatial context of the fisheries might also be understood in this context.
- UL works with refining the use of GIS in spatial discussions on demography, industrial activities and socio-cultural characteristics. The intention is also to re-invent our morphological studies from the 1980s and the 1990s using GIS programs and methodology
| Form of assessment | Grouping | Grading scale | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Other assessment method, define in comment field | Individual | Pass / fail | In the semester, the student will regularly present the subject for the teachers and fellow students for input and feedback. At the end of the semester the result will be exhibited in a given format. The examination is based on how the subject is visually displayed and orally presented, as well as processed and developed through the semester-evaluation of final presentation of individual mapping project. |
