Learning outcomes

The course will introduce students to the basics of spatial planning and guide them through the entire process of preparing spatial planning documentation using specific cases students will work with existing or planned spatial plans or higher-level spatial planning documentation. Students will become familiar with the current case law of administrative courts and the Constitutional Court by applying their conclusions to specific cases. The course will emphasize elements of sustainability in the current legal framework and will take into account the requirements for addressing the climate crisis in the areas of adaptation and mitigation (adapting to climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions). The aim of the course is for students to acquire knowledge related to the process of creating sustainable spatial planning documentation, taking into account the current decision-making practice of the courts. After completing the course, students will be familiar with the legal regulations governing the spatial planning process and will be able to take into account current case law and the need for regulation in the area in relation to climate change when creating or reviewing specific spatial planning documentation. Graduates will be able to apply their knowledge in the public sphere in the performance of official duties, in the field of consulting for the public and private sectors, as well as in the non-profit sector or in education. Completion of the course will provide basic expertise in the field, which can also be used for legal or other specifically focused professions, i.e., it can serve as a complementary study program.
After completing the course, students will be able to: 1. Understand the application of basic principles of spatial planning. 2. Prepare a legal strategy to support sustainable land use at various levels of public administration. 3. Analyze and correctly apply legal instruments in the field of spatial planning for sustainability in the territory. 4.
