BūvZM005 [GBUVM005] Calculation and Preparation of Geoinformation Possibilities for Crisis Management Measures

Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to provide a theoretical and practical insight into the basics, factors, planning principles and results of the preparation of geospatial support for various crisis management. Students are introduced to the general experience and practice of organizing and planning geoinformation support for different types of crisis forecasting and management organizations - preparing for successful crisis management, including timely preparation of various types of geoinformation products and demonstration kits - standard products. The laboratory acquires initial practical skills in forecasting and planning geoinformation support for crisis development of various scales, taking into account the limiting factors of support planning and the basics of their implementation calculations according to the origin and development of specific crises.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Manages the planning of geoinformation support according to the types of crises, the origins of their consequences, as well as based on the specific available spatial planning support organization and resources for crisis management and prevention, focusing on planning theory and practice - tests
2. Is able to orientate in the basics of planning and implementation of crisis management geoinformation provision, is able to correctly identify the need for geoinformation support and opportunities to support specific types of crisis management organization - tests and laboratory works
3. Is able to define the necessary geoinformation support, its tasks, product development deadlines and plan the need, possibilities and scope of spatial support measures and products in accordance with the crisis development forecasts, rationally evaluating the possible threats and development of the crisis. Define the quality criteria for support products, the raw materials to be used, the technological and technical solutions to be used, the capabilities of the available geo-information resources and the adequacy to meet the time constraints, volumes and specific needs of the products to be delivered according to crisis management tasks. - laboratory works

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

The independent work is developed in connection with and in coordination with the schedule of laboratory work.
Tasks:
- to identify the positions of the disaster (crisis) geoinformation organization, the scope of specifications, to form and display the result both in the spatial (map) document and in the formats of tables and lists;
- To make forecasts of the possibilities of providing crisis management geoinformation during their execution times and according to the territories and display it in a spatial document;
- To determine the calculations of geoinformation provision resources and materials, to prepare their delivery plan, i. sk. also on the map;
- To develop requests for types of crisis management geoinformation support in addition to the development of crisis management spatial products, new geoinformation acquisition and monitoring activities with remote sensing methods, as well as other products.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

1. Laboratory work must be completed, handed over and defended;
2. Positively evaluated test results.
Test with a mark, written and oral in a 10-point system.
The mark will be adjusted taking into account the evaluations of the tests and the evaluation of the defense of the laboratory work.
