Course content
The first content part examines the basic concepts, principles of construction and functioning of geographic information systems, forms an idea of ​​the types of spatial data, in particular open data, sources of their receipt and processing methods, presents approaches to input, storage, sampling, editing and output of geographically coordinated data and manipulation thereof. The second content part examines the basics of cartographic modeling and spatial analysis in the environment of geographic information systems, acquires skills in working with modern software using open data, presents current examples of the use of GIS in environmental protection activities, urban planning, geoecology, and transport planning for making informed decisions on their basis.
