Course objectives
The objective of the course is to introduce students to basic principles and possibilities of the use of analysis and visualization of socio-economic data in SW ArcGIS Desktop environment. Students will be acquainted with selected sources and formats of spatial data, basic methods of their processing, classification and symbology, including the creation of a map composition, simple analytical tasks and spatial operation.
Learning outcomes
After completion of the course students will have knowledge of main sources and basic principles of creation and organisation of spatial data in the GIS environment. They will be able to go through the most frequent tasks – use freely accessible or their own data, to carry out basic spatial analyses, to classify adequately selected phenomena, to depict their spatial context and to create basic map types.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to GIS, data formats in GIS
  • ArcGIS basics, using the interface
  • Free GIS data sources (or geoportals), data processing for cartographic visualization
  • Creating and editing spatial data (import, searching, querying, browsing, editing, etc.)
  • Working with tables (common table tasks – creating tables, joining, updating, querying and editing data, adding fields and records, etc.)
  • Map analysis (using select by attributes or location, proximity analysis, nearest neighbour, creating buffers, overlay analysis – intersect, update, union, etc.)
  • Using and making maps (classifying, symbolizing and labeling features, creating a map layout, export options, etc.)

Teaching methods
Teaching is based on practical exercise in the computer lab reflecting real tasks. Individual tasks during the exercise will be based on the case studies of selected socio-economic problems and their possible solution through GIS. Short lectures on topics will also be the part of the course.
Assessment methods
Exam: Successful completion of GIS project. The project will cover the material discussed and practised throughout the entire course. Attendance at all class meetings is required and expected.

Teacher's information
Any copying, recording or leaking tests, use of unauthorized tools, aids and communication devices, or other disruptions of objectivity of exams will be considered non-compliance with the conditions for course completion as well as a severe violation of the study rules. Consequently, the teacher will finish the exam by awarding grade "F" in the Information System, and the Dean will initiate disciplinary proceedings that may result in study termination.
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2019, Autumn 2021, Autumn 2022, Autumn 2023.
