JurZB008 [GJURB008] Land Management
The aim of course is to acquire the theoretical and practical aspects of land management, land use, a conception of spatial planning and its importance. Students get acquainted with the mechanical engineering program for MicroStation, the program`s work environment and the use of topographical plan drawing and other graphic material in drawing.
After the end of the course student will have:
• knowledges about the aim, tasks und content of land management, importance of spatial planning by development of towns and rural areas; about the operation principle of MicroStation program, MicroStation capabilities for topographic plans and other graphic material, drawing, area difinition and design;
• skills - student knows how to apple the knowledge of spatial development to work out the spatial plans; student acquires skills trough a variety of draving, editing and other paletes, drawing topographical plans and other graphic material;
• competence – to participate in land use planning process and the development of spatial planning documents. Using MicroStation, draw plans and the application of topographical signs plan presentation.

In part-time studies:
All topics indicated in full-time full-time studies are implemented, but the number of contact hours is ½ from the number of hours indicated.
Test with a mark. The test task consists of:
• three tests on the theory;
• successful completion of three homework;
• successful completion of laboratory work.
In order to prepare for the tests, the student must independently read the scientific and special literature on the sustainable use and management of land, as well as get acquainted with the relevant current legislation.
During the semester, the lecturer issues homework assignments, which must be completed and the lecturer must obtain confirmation of its successful completion. Homework assignments:
1st homework - Assessment of farm land ownership boundaries.
2. homework - Evaluation of the composition and contouriness of agricultural land.
3. homework - Designing the boundaries of a farm.
Conditions for passing the test:
In the laboratory work in the MicroStation environment, all planned exercises must be drawn, a topographic plan drawn in a scale of 1: 2000.
The cumulative assessment of the test consists of the assessment of 3 tests, the qualitative assessment of laboratory work and successfully completed homework (without assessment).
Attending at least 85% of classes may have a positive effect on the grade.
