Rural Buildings and Land Survey
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The objectives are:
- acquire the elements to design the rural structures in mountain areas, with reference to buildings for livestock breeding.
- know the criteria for defining the functional spaces for the animals and for the performance of the connected operations, the survey methods of the territory and the inclusion of rural buildings in a specific context.
- acquire the elements to design the rural structures in mountain areas, with reference to buildings for livestock breeding.
- know the criteria for defining the functional spaces for the animals and for the performance of the connected operations, the survey methods of the territory and the inclusion of rural buildings in a specific context.
Expected learning outcomes
The expected results are to know:
- assessing the functional requirements and methods of use of livestock buildings in the mountain area.
- use cartographic tools to evaluate the inclusion of rural buildings in the mountain territory and for territorial planning.
- interpret remotely sensed maps and treat spatial data with modern geomatic methods for agro-forest planning

Rural buildings:
General criteria for the design of production buildings. Functional aspects of structures for livestock breeding. Design criteria for livestock buildings in relation to the requirements of animals and the territorial and environmental impact. Relationship between rural buildings and the territory. Problems related to the environmental impact of agricultural activities. (1 ECTS)
Microclimatic parameters in livestock buildings. The minimum requirements to ensure animal welfare. Control of the environment inside agricultural buildings (humidity, temperature, gas). Design criteria for livestock buildings for reducing emissions. (1 ECTS)
Functional and distributive needs of housing structures. Buildings for the breeding of cattle and goats. (1 ECTS)
The ancillary structures of livestock farms. food and forage deposits. Types, design and operation of the milking parlors; structures for the transformation and maturing of cheeses; storage facilities and technologies for the treatment of livestock effluents for their correct agronomic use in compliance with the law. (1 ECTS)
Land survey:
The analysis of the territory through the cartographic tool. Cartography elements: the reference geodetic systems; Cartographic projections; Topographic maps and thematic maps; Exercises Reading and use of maps: Examination of regional cartography. The regional cartographic portals, analysis and elaboration of the available cartography: CTR, Ortophotos, DTM, Thematics maps. Application examples of some regions and normative references. (1 ECTS)
Cadastre, Aims, characteristics and phases. Land and buildings cadastre. The cadastral maps. Analysis of digital information systems of the cadastre at regional level. Application examples on traditional (paper) and innovative (digital) media. Territorial planning tools at different levels of detail, from the Regional Territorial Plan to the Territory Governance Plan. Regional laws on territorial governance. (1 ECTS)
The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for agroforestry land analysis. Characteristics and potential of GIS software. Elements of topographic surveying through the use of topographic tools. (1.5 ECTS)
Statistical survey of the agro-forestry territory starting from the Istat and Arpa databases. (0.5 ECTS).

Teaching Resources
Rural buildings:
The teaching material consists of:
Notes of the lessons; Booklet on the structures for dairy cattle farms; Selected scientific papers reported during the lessons (ariel.ctu.unimi.it - Costruzioni rurali e Rilievo del territorio)
Land survey:
Notes of the lessons available on (ariel.ctu.unimi.it - Costruzioni rurali e Rilievo del territorio).

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of two tests:
First test:
- Written. Duration 2:30 hours
The written test consists of 3 exercises relating to teaching unit 1 of Rural buildings;
1 exercise relating to teaching unit 2 of Land survey.
10 multiple choice questions for teaching unit 1 of Rural buildings
10 multiple choice questions for teaching unit 2 of Land survey
Second Test:
- Project to be carried out independently, creating a territorial analysis.
The work related to the Land survey module consists in the design of a territorial analysis to be carried out independently by the student. To be submitted in .pdf format only, before the written exam.
If students do not pass one of the two tests, they will only have to repeat the one in which they failed.
The final grade will be the arithmetic average of the written exam and the territorial analysis.
As a rule, appeals are scheduled at the Edolo headquarters. In the event that students enrolled in the appeal are less than 5, the appeal will take place at the headquarters of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, via Celoria 2, Milan and notice of this will be given in time.
Students enrolled in an exam session and who no longer wish to support it are required to unsubscribe and possibly promptly notify the teacher in the case of registration already closed.
Students with SLD or disability certifications are kindly requested to contact the teacher at least 15 days before the date of the exam session to agree on individual exam requirements. In the email please make sure to add in cc the competent offices: [email protected] (for students with SLD) o [email protected] (for students with disability).
