BūvZM003 [GBUVM003] Activities of Geoinformation Specialists and Structures During Crisis Management

Course abstract

The aim of the study course is to provide a theoretical and practical understanding of the activities of geoinformation support specialists and structures in crisis management periods, their place and role in the development of various crisis spatial planning and development forecasts / scenarios as in the preparation and support of their management and management processes. Students are introduced to the competencies and responsibilities of geoinformation support specialists and organizations in crisis management, the range of spatial products to be developed and the provision of security functions, their involvement in crisis forecasting processes and procedures, preparing crisis management organizations and structures for effective performance. In practical work, students acquire skills in planning, organization and execution of various geoinformation product developments. Knows the structure, location, activities and basics of the organization of specialists in the crisis management period. Developing practical skills in planning and execution of crisis geoinformation provision.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Manages the activities of geoinformation specialists and structures in crisis management periods, supporting spatial planning of crisis forecasting, forecasting of consequences and determination of their effects, as well as spatial planning support organization in crisis development forecasting and management planning, focusing on theory and practice - tests
2. Can orientate in the involvement of geoinformation specialists and structures in crisis management spatial planning organization and implementation activities, is able to correctly identify the need for their involvement in providing geoinformation support and specific crisis management organization support in crisis management planning and development forecasts - tests and practical works
3. Is able to rationally evaluate the threats and development of the crisis to define the justifications for the involvement of the necessary geoinformation specialists and structures, its tasks, products, deadlines for their development. To determine the justifications for the involvement of spatial support specialists and structures, the need, possibilities and scope of measures and products in accordance with the crisis development forecasts - practical works

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Independent work is developed in relation and sequence, coordinating it with the tasks and schedule of practical works.
Tasks:
- to identify the amounts and terms of the provision of geoinformation for disaster (crisis) management, to perform calculations of the use of the involved structures and personnel, the results shall be presented in a spatial document;
- Carry out planning activities for the provision of geoinformation structures for the execution of various positions and tasks in crisis management, calculations and display it in a spatial document;
- Prepare route maps for operation and relocation planning of geoinformation units, determining the required transport volumes and support;
- to plan the operation of crisis management geoinformation support units and to develop samples of spatial crisis management spatial products

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

1. Practical works must be completed, handed over and defended;
2. Positively evaluated test results.
