Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is focused on issues of geographical and thematic cartography in relation to the map making and map use. The practices emphasize the acquisition of two basic cartographic skills: read maps and construct maps. As part of the practices, students work with a topographic map of 1:25,000 and compile maps, the correct execution of which is a condition for credit. The difficulty of compiling maps is gradually increasing. Maps are compiled in GIS. The aim of the teachers is to teach students to orient themselves in the methods of map expression, to understand its system and to be able to choose the right map method for processing qualitative and quantitative data and to use them flawlessly in the visualization of any spatial data.
