In the content of the course, the principles of urban modelling are explained. Logit and probit solid models are studied. Active-based and constraint-based models are examined. Cellular automata system using for terrain simulation and how design decision trees maden are explained. Basic knowledge about Bayesian methods and data mining is given to students in order to analyse and evaluate large databases.

The minimum qualifications that are expected from the students who want to attend the course.(Examples: Foreign language level, attendance, known theoretical pre-qualifications, etc.)
After teaching basic knowledge, several case studies are conducted. There are two research homeworks during the course. At the end of the course, students are asked to prepare the model of a small size of urban model.

Program Outcomes
PO-1
To gain knowledge and understand the socio-economical and spatial components and processes which are both the subjects and the outcomes of an urban design project.
PO-2
To gain knowledge and critical awareness about the relations in between urban design and the other disciplines like architecture, urban planning, economy and sociology; and the opportunuties and threats that will arise by these relations.
PO-3
Ability to realize an urban design project or a research on urban design in a multidisciplinary process, using both the theoretical and practical knowledge infrastructure, developing new methods and techniques.
PO-4
Ability to direct socio-economical and spatial components and processes in the urban design process.
PO-5
Ability to make research, to analyse and to criticise in the area of academical knowledge and design processes, using the appropriate techniques, producing original results.
PO-6
To gain competency on conducting an indivudial research or project on urban design.
PO-7
To gain competency on working as a group member and to work out the complicated processes that will occur during the urban design.
PO-8
To gain competency to transfer the knowledge gained using a foreign language, both in verbal and visual way, via contemporary computer programmes and techniques.
PO-9
To gain competancy to produce an original academical/scientific research, to present and to discuss in a dialectical framework.
PO-10
To gain competency on strategical decision making as a component of the urban design project and to produce original solutions considering ethical values.
