Course objectives:
|
The course GIS01 contains basic chapters of geographic information systems (GIS). The course includes sessions on: GIS development, GIS definition, spatial data, geodata, components describing geodata (geometric, thematic, temporal, relational, functional, quality), representation of the real world in GIS, data models used in GIS, raster data model, vector data model, data conversion (vectorization, rasterization). Students are also briefly introduced to the geoinformatics, geoinformatic technologies as well as possibilities of using geoinformatic technologies in practice.
Training in GIS01 is focused on practical skills in programming for GIS. Students learn to work with ESRI product - ArcGIS softwarem, they learn to correctly use the basic tools and functions of the system. Students learn on real examples from practice. Students also try to process data in practical tasks independently.

|
Requirements on student
|
Requirements for the successful completion of the course:
Final test verifying theoretical knowledge.
1 piece of individual work and 2 practical tasks which examine the ability of independent data processing in ArcGIS. The tasks are specified in the IS Moodle.

Content
|
Lectures:
1. Introduction to Geoinformatics. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the standard maps. Definition of GIS. History of GIS. Possible uses of geo information technologies.
2. Data. Geodata. Geometric component of geodata - space, geodata positioning in space, measuring distances.
3. Geometric component of geodata - topology (mutual spatial relationships of geodata), spatial characteristics. Thematic component of geodata description. Time component of geodata. Relational and functional component of geodata description. Qualitative - additional component.
4. Data models. Data modelling. Data structures. GIS as an image of the real world. Raster data model - the quality of the image, data structures for storing raster data. 5. Vector data model - unrelated models, topological model, saving thematic elements. Evaluation of raster and vector data model. Conversion between vector and raster data. Object oriented data models.
Practical seminar:
Basic tools and functions of ArcGIS software product:
information about the ArcGIS architecture, ArcGIS levels and opportunities, introduction to data view, working with layers in the existing map document, tools for movement in the map, the approximate measurements, change of the symbol,
file creation and basic operations with them, the definition of coordinate system,
metadata, data conversion, scale, adding graphics, creating and importing of a map document of drawing views, identification of geodata, attributes, search, features, change of the symbols, descriptions of geodata
Selection by attributes, selection by location
operations with attribute data - selection, sorting, editing, connection and session
Creation of a new layer from selected geodata, edit attributes, data access, creating graphs, layouts (map outputs)
creation a new layer, editing graphics
vectorization, editing geometric and thematic components of geodata
