本課程旨在讓學生瞭解氣候變遷對人居環境會造成那些影響，並從瞭解這些影響過程中，尋求調適解決方法。本課程將以DPSIR為課程架構概念，讓學生學習到如何將氣候變遷對人居環境衝擊議題，化成D(Driving Forces驅動力)、P(Pressure壓力)、S(State狀態)、I(Impacts衝擊)與R (Response回應)架構，針對不同空間單元，透過跨領域整合進行資料實際收集與分析，探討氣候變遷與人居環境的議題。
課程執行方面從議題選擇、團隊組成、資料收集、資料分析與資料判讀都由學生採自主學習方式，讓學生建立獨立自主的學習方式，並嘗試跨領域交流整合討論，奠定學生跨領域整合能力。在議題思考方面，亦將融入生活實驗室(Living Laboratory)的概念，力求學生在思考層面上能翻轉教學，符合實際應用導向的趨勢。
This course is designed to enable students to understand the impacts of climate change on the human environment and to seek adaptation solutions from the process of understanding these impacts. This course will take DPSIR as the curriculum architecture concept to enable students to learn how to impact climate change on the human environment, into D (Driving forces driving force), P (pressure pressure), S(State), I (Impacts) and R (Response response) architecture, for different spatial units, through cross-domain integration of data actual collection and analysis, to explore climate change and human settlements issues.
In the course of curriculum implementation, from topic selection, team composition, data collection, data analysis and data interpretation, students adopt independent learning methods, so that students can establish an independent way of learning, and try to cross-domain communication and integration of discussions, to lay down the ability of students to integrate across the field. In terms of topic thinking, it will also be integrated into the concept of Living Laboratory, so that students can flip teaching at the level of thinking, in line with the trend of practical application orientation.
