Acquisition of knowledge which will enable engineers for risk and fire protection management and active participation and cooperation with other participants in spatial planning processes, so that the risk analysis and vulnerability in the settlements are the integral part of the starting phases of the plan document development and strategic planning of the sustainable settlement development.

Acquired theoretical and applied knowledge enables identification of risk components from the occurrence of catastrophic events and fire and vulnerability of the settlement in the field analysis which is the subject of planning, carrying out procedures of risk analysis and vulnerability in the urban fields, as well as defining solutions which should be considered in the planning process. Acquired knowledge enables understanding of the spatial and urban planning processes and consideration of existing qualities and values of the environment.

Types of plan documents in urban and spatial planning. Current regulations in the field of spatial planning and urban design. Sustainable elements of the settlement development. Importance and development of towns through history. Urbanization as a process. Modern cities, their characteristics and problems. Functioning of the city systems. Sustainable development of the town. Modern approach to planning sustainable towns. Analysis of the incorporation possibilities, risk analysis within the existing law solutions. Risk identification and analysis in catastrophic events and fire in preparation of the plan documentation. Vulnerability concept. Analysis of the existing plans and consideration of the applied conceptual solutions from the aspect of prevention against catastrophic events and fire. Case studies – analysis of existing plan documents (of all levels) and analysis from the previous period.
