Course content
In the course, the laws for protection of the enviroment will be introduced. Next, the use of the geoinformation in the protection of the enviroment will be introduced. Students will work with the enviromental datasets, they will understand the system of the distribution, storing and form of the enviromental datasets. The last part of the subject deals with the analysis of the enviromental data and the analysis of the management of the protection of the enviroment using GIS. Students will solve also the real examples. The lectures are as follows: Institutional processes and laws in the protection of the enviroment.The role of the GIT in this process. Information systems and registers of the enviroment. Data stores, data sources, support for the decision in GIS and its application to the management of the landscape. Concept of the DEM. Net mapping and founding database. Analysis and the protection of the biodiverse using GIT. Monitoring and evaluation of the developement of the landscape
