Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the courses: "Fundamentals of Geoinformation Systems and Technologies" and "Applied Geoinformation Systems (GIS in Monitoring Systems)." 2. Proficiency in working within the ArcGIS software environment.
Course content
The course consists of two parts. The first part focuses on modeling a road network within a geographic information system (GIS) environment, based on a vector polyline layer representing roads. The resulting model enables the solution of a range of tasks, such as calculating the optimal route between specified locations, determining zones with consistent accessibility parameters relative to a given point, and managing a fleet of vehicles. The second part of the course covers the creation of a raster model of a territory, where the value of each raster element is derived from the influence of various user-defined criteria applied to specific spatial locations. The model created can be binary or take on values within a specified range. The theoretical foundation for the first part of the course is the mathematical theory of graphs, while the second part is based on the theory of fuzzy sets.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical assignments, tests, pass/fail exam.
Assessment methods and criteria
Final assessment in the form of a pass/fail exam (oral or written): the maximum score for the exam is 40 points; the minimum score required (to be added to the semester total) is 24 points (60% of the maximum points allocated for the exam). Students whose total score falls below the critical threshold of 20 points are not permitted to take the exam. The recommended minimum score for admission to the exam is 36 points.
A student is permitted to take the exam only upon submission of all practical work reports required by the syllabus.
For assignments submitted past the deadline, 2 points will be deducted for each week of delay.
