Course MF1078-2 Driving People or Groups through Dry or Aquatic Canyons

- Analyze cartographic resources and sources, both in traditional physical media and in digital media adapted to new technologies, and identify the characteristics, relief and nature of the terrain represented and know the territories and possibilities of transit on foot, especially in low and medium mountain terrain - Analyze the topographic, geological and biological characteristics of a given area and identify the degree of vulnerability of its natural environment based on its classification as a protected or unprotected space, to relate the critical aspects of deterioration of said environment with the practice of activities sports-recreational. - Interpret meteorological information to predict climatic conditions and their possible evolution, from sources of information of different natures adapted to new technologies or derived from direct observation of the natural environment, and anticipate adverse situations that may occur by taking the necessary measures to adapt the sports-recreational activity, canceling it if necessary. - Apply orientation techniques in the natural environment of traditional use, specific to new technologies or derived from the interpretation of fortune resources, using, in accordance with the available means and resources, instruments, equipment, cartographic sources and/or natural clues. - Identify the characteristics of the users demanding the service by determining their level of motor skill, their level of physical condition, mastery of the techniques of the activity, psychological condition and their interests, motivations and degree of personal autonomy based on their age, in relation to the practice of canyoning activities. - Collect information on the geographical space where the canyoning activity will be carried out in relation to its topographical and environmental characteristics, the specific regulations related to the practice of sports-recreational activities that may be applied and its possibilities of access, communication and movement according to the characteristics of the activity to be carried out. - Describe and carry out the diagnostic analysis of the context of intervention, collecting, processing and integrating the different types of information obtained to specify the access and return itinerary, the route through the ravine, its difficulty, location of possible escape routes, the level of sports equipment, the level of safety and establish the development of all the direct and complementary activities that will be carried out in the development of the requested activity. - Establish the processes and periodicity for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the objectives established in the design of a driving activity in ravines. - Apply evaluation techniques and procedures in canyon driving activities to identify the parameters that express the quality and safety of the service, paying special attention to the degree of satisfaction of all participants and establish, based on the information obtained, the correction and adaptation measures for this type of activity in the design of future canyon driving activities. - Prepare the auxiliary means and supervise the availability and correct state of use of the equipment and materials, making the necessary adaptations according to the characteristics and needs of both the participants and the activities to be carried out, in accordance with the objectives and protocols established in the reference program. - Apply reception, farewell and interaction strategies with participants in canyon driving activities and use different types of communication adapted to their needs and characteristics. - Apply group dynamics techniques and promote the necessary relationships among its members, to create a climate optimal coexistence that ensures the quality of the service and the satisfaction of each of the participants in the development of a canyon driving program.
