Observation and listening skills.
Favourable attitude for interdisciplinary study and approach.
Availability and use of an atlas and a PC.

The course aims to provide geography's foundamental theoretical tools, and to use them as keys for understanding the reality of macro-regions, individual States, other regional entities and their exploitation for tourism purposes.
Particular attention will be given to the "construction", the exploitation and promotion of the landscapes.

Basic concepts of environment and landscape;
Territorial frameworks;
Environmental degradation and protection;
The changing relationship between man and nature;
Regional landscapes: Marche, Italy, Europe and North America;
Tourist Regions as complex and integrated territories;
The representation of tourist spaces and places.

• - Dialogued lectures;
  - Trainings and Tutorials in small and medium groups;
  - Analysis of case studies;
  - Field trips;

  The modalities of each course's provision, as well as the related teaching methodologies, may vary based on the eventual further Ministerial or University dispositions with reference to the health emergency.

• There will be a twofold evaluation mode, including:
  - a low structuring level part (oral), that will be evaluated based on the correctness and the completeness of the informations, knowledge, mastery of the specific geography language.
  - a semistructured part: research activities and development projects (previously presented and discussed with the professor).
