Comments/contents:
This course focuses on advanced vector GIS and consists from two complex projects. Both projects are based on vector data search, acquisition, analysis, processing, development of a network, topology maintenance, problem solving, decision making and visualization.
Most of the exercises will be done with ESRI ArcGIS platform (also with some presence of alternative open GIS, such as Quantum GIS and SAGA). The basic knowledge of GIS introduction is not enough to succeed in this course. The basic vector GIS operations will be given during the first sessions of the course in order to reveal the students’ GIS skills.
Before the each project, the main operations and steps will be demonstrated using a small dataset. Afterwards the students will work independently with their own datasets under the supervision of the lecturer.
After completion of the project, the students will have to write a comprehensive report of the project and visualize the results.
The main language of the course is English.
Learning objectives:
- To be familiar with and be able to proceed advanced vector GIS operations;
- To perform in depth vector and attribute data analysis;
- To develop a network dataset;
- To create and maintain topology;
- To desribe a spatial problem and solve it using GIS platform;
- To visualize and explain the results;
- To write a comprehensive report.
Didactic concept:
This is advanced, rather a "cook-book" based course. Therefore the students will be encouraged to work independently on their own data under the strong supervision of a lecturer. This course is a good introduction into an applied science and industry related GIS activities.
Literature:
The list of literature will be provided during the course
Additional examination information:
The procedure of the exam and assignements will be discussed during the course
