Course Objective

Services of logistics and procurement are emerging as a result of necessities for mutual relations of production and consumption. These relations have global dimensions and peculiarities depending upon parameters of time and space. Therefore the related planning activities of such services highly depend on solving the problems of quite a complicated system. The tremendous changes in economical and the social structure, in addition to the political alteration, cause the increase of this complexity. Performances related to fulfil such services have the criterion of adequacy, sustainability, timing and replacement as the basic general regulations. Also it is inevitable that such services are both act under the roles public and private responsibilities. In addition to that, distribution of these services depend also the scale and hierarchy of settlements. Therefore planning activities for logistics and procurement, depend upon the analysis of varying ways of approaching to design related systems and to solve the related problems. This course in general together with the emergence of urban spatial organization, also by evaluating the existence of infrastructure, tries to differentiate logistic and procurement systems, explain their importance, to define their problems and helps scholars in gaining capabilities and knowledge for the ways out.
