THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, STRUCTURAL OR TEMPORARY, ARE OFTEN CAUSED BY BREAKING DYNAMIC BALANCE BETWEEN POPULATION, RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT AND RELATE MANY REGIONS OF THE EARTH. THE COURSE PROVIDES A DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT OF HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY AND EXPLAIN THE CAUSES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF POSSIBLE EMERGENCIES AND THE STRATEGIES OF STRATEGIC PLANNING THAT INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS USE IN OPERATIONS. THANKS TO LARGE SCALE DISTRIBUTION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION IS POSSIBLE NOW, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STRATEGIES OF PLANNING, USE TOOLS THAT THROUGH THE ANALYSIS AND PROCESSING OF A MOLTITUDE OF SENSIBLE INFORMATION IN TIMES LIMITED, ALLOW TO TAKE RATIONAL, DETAILED AND COORDINATED SOLUTIONS. BECAUSE HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCIES ARE ALSO CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH A SET NUMBER OF GEOGRAPHIC DATA AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL LAND DATA, DURING THE COURSE ARE EXPOSED THE CRITERIA FOR THE DIGITAL REPRESENTATION OF THE LAND AND THE FORMATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL DATABASES. SPECIAL ATTENTION IS DEDICATED TO THE ROLE THAT EXPERT SYSTEM AND DSS HAVE IN DECISION-MAKING AND MANAGEMENT, AND BETWEEN THEM THE GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) THAT FIRST INTRODUCED FOR LAND USE PLANNING AND DATA COLLECTION ABOUT LAND, THEN WAS USED SUCCESSFULLY IN CRISIS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. THE GOAL IS TO ALLOW THE STUDENT, AFTER THE ANALYSIS OF THE TECHNICAL AND SOCIO-CULTURAL FEATURE OF AN EMERGENCY, TO ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE BASE OF ADVANCED DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES USED FOR THE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
