Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to acquaint the student with the basics of GIS in ArcGIS, so that he / she is able to process, analyze and visualize especially vector data and solve simple spatial tasks.
Students know term GIS. Students are able to work with different GIS systems. They know how to use basic operations of spacial data processing and visualization. Students know how to use available map sources from map servers. They can digitize, create layout and solve spacial tasks.
