Geospatial Solution Management [GIT]

Course developer

Course abstract

The study course provides a theoretical and practical understanding of the nature, tasks and significance of the management of geospatial solutions in the national economy. Students will be introduced to the history, structure, functions, classification, understanding of the organization, use, principles, systems, requirements and capabilities of management of geospatial solutions. The laboratory will acquire basic knowledge and skills to know, organize and use the principles of geospatial solution management - maintenance, system design and construction, in the next areas of professional activity.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

1. Knows the origin, essence, development history, tasks, design and construction, possibilities, use and application of geospatial solutions - tests
2. Is able to orientate in the management systems of geospatial solutions, is able to determine the resources, tasks and possibilities necessary for their use. Is able to evaluate the compliance of the developed management models with the tasks and the preservation of the quality and operability of the use of geospatial solution systems - tests and laboratory works
3. Is able to rationally evaluate the compliance of the management model of specific geospatial solutions for the maintenance of the ability to fulfill the objectives of specific use tasks, knows the specifics of the operation of solution models in practice. Able to define, plan and perform simple tasks of creating, maintaining, updating or developing geospatial solution management models - tests and laboratory works
