Student gains basic knowledge about GIS which offers many tools for solving the problem of watershed and nature protection.

Student gains basic knowledge about GIS which offers many tools for solving the problem of watershed and nature protection, obtain information about the properties, types and use of digital data in GIS applications. They will acquire knowledge related to spatial analysis, digital relief models, applications, outputs from GIS and important GIS products, especially suitable and used in GIS issues in water management, when dealing with land consolidation and also when dealing with soil erosion control and flood measures.

The basic knowledge of the areas Hydrology, Watershed protection, The basic PC skills.

Watershed protection, The basic PC skills.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of VUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. 

Evaluation takes place in the form of credit.

1. Introduction to GIS, ArcGIS application performance, basic work with ArcGIS applications, WMS connection. 2. Coordinate systems, georeferencing. 3. Basic work with model data. Prepared data. Creation of map outputs (layout). 4. Editing in ArcGIS, creation of new shapefile, working with tools in ArcToolbox, creating text and labeling. 5. Working with raster layer. Basic setup of the project, creation of map outputs (layout). 6. Making DMT in ArcGIS and basic topographical and hydrological modeling. 7.–8. Preparing data in ArcGIS for the calculation runoff conditions (DesQ). 9. Preparing the data for the calculation of soil loss. 10. Preparation of input data in ArcGIS for the ATLAS program. 11. Working in the ATLAS program, creation of DME, hydrological tools. 12. Working with the program ATLAS – continued, erosion process. 13. Test.

The aim of teaching geographic information systems in the environment is to provide students with basic information about the principles of data processing in digital technologies, about the properties, types and use of digital data in GIS applications.
The teaching concept is dedicated to the concept, history and basics of GIS, focusing on spatial analysis, digital models of reliefs, applications, outputs from GIS and important GIS products, especially suitable and used in GIS issues in water management, in land consolidation and also during solving the soil erosion control and flood measures.
