Digital Teaching:
The lecture will probably mostly be offered via livestream using the conference tool Zoom at the times given in TUCaN. Students will receive a weekly link and a password for the online meeting via the conference service Zoom (technical requirements: Internet access, optionally microphone and camera). The link will be placed in the section “Access Online Lecture / Zugang Online-Vorlesung” of the Moodle course. Some lectures via VIDEOCAST (pre-recorded videos) may complement the live lectures and will also be made available via Moodle.
In addition, students can download the lecture slides as pdf files via Moodle, shortly before the lectures.
Communication of all information and changes as well as materials for the lecture takes place via the Moodle course, which will be activated shortly before the start of the lecture and to which all participants are automatically added. That way, students can communicate directly with each other and with the lecturers about content-specific or organizational aspects. For further questions, online consultation hours can be arranged with the teachers.
Course Contents:
!! Note: This seminar (in English and in the winter semester) replaces the lecture Geoinformationssysteme 1, which will not take place anymore !!
Introduction to Geo-Information Systems (GIS):
terminologies and definitions, spatial information / Geo-Information, spatial reference - model of the real world - power of coordinates - , historical development, GIS and LIS, basics of GIS architecture;
Geospatial objects and information modelling:
Geometric dimension and abstraction of modelling, Geo-Information objects (entities, features), raster model/vector model, geometry, topology, factual data and topic, modeling in GIS / spatial information
Spatial reference and spatial reference systems:
geodetic/cartographic reference system, coordinate systems, spatial reference elements, base-GIS and base-maps – public e.g. ALKIS, ATKIS, private-sector base-GIS;
Spatial data acquisition:
primary and secondary acquisition methods, digitization and georeferencing / geocoding;
Spatial analysis with GIS:
Geometric, topological, thematic queries, geometric methods, topological methods, network analyses;
Geovisualization
Spatial data exchange and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI)
Preconditions:
none
Expected Number of Participants:
40-60
Further Grading Information:
After students have attended the course, they
- master basic functions of GIS,
- may support projects of urban development with GIS techniques from the beginning of data acquisition, processing, analysing and visualization
- have the ability to weigh up different solutions, to explain them objectively and understandably, to make and justify decisions,
- can also use GIS for more advanced tasks in urban development and planning such as spatial analysis, catchment area analysis, network analysis, overlaying, etc
