Geographic Information Systems
The discipline is aimed at training professionals to:
- production, technical and project activities in the development of new projects with the use of modern means of obtaining and processing information;
- solving research and applied problems related to the automation of processes for obtaining and processing the data.
Geographic information systems (GIS) are systems developed for collection, storage, processing, access, analysis, interpretation and visualization of spatial data. GIS are the basis of geoinformation technologies (GIS-technologies), i.e. information technology processing and presentation of spatially distributed information.
GIS technology is a powerful tool for working and visual presentation of information. Using advanced features of database management systems, being unique editors of raster and vector graphics and featuring the largest instrumentation for analytical operations, GIS are proved to be an effective means of solving problems in the field of cartography, geology, municipal management, land management, environment, transport, industry, agriculture and forestry.
