Academy of Technical and
Art Applied Studies Belgrade

Geo - Information Systems Course code: GISI | 6 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 5
Requirements:
Goal: Enabling prospective geodetic engineers to implement and use of geo-information systems in the field of geodesy, construction and the related disciplines.
Outcome: Introducing basic components ofgeo-information systems the course helps prospective engineersbroaden their theoretical and practical knowledge, which will provide basis for their further work, the use of geo-information systems implementation in practice. The course allows students to understand the principles of complex geo-information systems, which are based on GIS technologies and are fundamental software tools that are today used in geodesy and the related technical areas nowadays.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Basic concepts in the field of design and implementation of geo-information systems.
  2. Significance of geo-information systems based on technologies of geographic information system (GIS).
  3. Geo-information Systems - components and processes.
  4. Hardware component of geo-information system
  5. Computer databases – a component of geo-information systems
  6. Software component of geo-information systems - principles of GIS technology (presentation of spatial facilities in DBMS systems, generalization and abstraction, metadata, geo-referencing).
  7. Modeling spatial databases
  8. Completion of geo-information systems (data collection methods).
  9. Management of geo-information systems (administration, operational aspects of the whole system)
  10. GIS applications
  11. Practical application of GIS technologies (spatial queries, preparation and presentation of information, cartographic presentations, application in the field of state surveying, real estate cadaster and land cadaster).
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. Practical training through computer lab working and visiting institutions engaged in generation and maintenance of geo-information systems.
