Territorial Planning

In this field we mainly address network infrastructures and mobility supporting urban and country planning. More specifically, we relate to the different levels of the Local Authorities (Regions, Provinces, Municipalities) to perform the design activities provided in the urban development plans.

We also perform the evaluation of effects and impacts that the possible options for the intended land use can lead to in the functional structure of urban systems and open territory.

Activity list

• Territorial analysis through geocomputation or geomarketing-based methods.
• Creation of Decision Support Systems (DSS) based on spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (Hierarchy Process or various versions of the ELECTRE method) integrated into Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
• Modeling for classification and forecast of complex territorial phenomena (modal choice processes, spatial interaction models, evaluation of land sensitivity to the construction of new dumps or landfills, roads or railroads, etc.).
• Analysis of the interaction between mobility (flows, parking, use of public transport etc.) and territory (accessibility, population density, activities density, etc.) through classic statistical techniques or Machine Learning - based techniques such as Datamining and Bayesian Networks.
