For this aim the course “Planning IV” focuses on an existing settlement as its case study, which is used for teaching processes that contribute to urban planning through hands-on exercises, such as analyzing the current condition of the settlement and defining its problems. This text discusses a new method which uses information technologies more intensively and its effects on the course.
