1 Course overview full-time study Course title: Planning of Geoinformation Technologies Applications (PGITA) Course number: Supervising institute: Course guarantee: Institute of Geoinformatics doc. Dr. Ing. Jiří Horák Credits: 5 Duty: compulsorily optional Level of study: graduate Teaching language: Czech Year: 1 Semester: 2 Link to website: Intended for faculties: FMG Intended for the type of study: follow-up master Way of completion: credit + examination Hours per week: Prerequisites: - Co-requisites: - Appears in prerequisites: - Learning outcomes - The student demonstrates knowledge: Principles of project preparation Differences between IS and GIS development projects Rules for strategic management applied for a GI domain Economic reasoning of geoinformation projects Principles of technical normalization Principles of developing geoinformation infrastructure - The student can: Design procedures necessary for preparation of geoinformation projects Prepare a ROI project Compile a schedule for a geoinformation project

2 Prepare a financial analysis of the geoinformation project and evaluate relevancy of different variants - The student is able to: Prepare a basic ROI project for implementation of GIS/GIT Identify, describe and justify the costs and benefits of GIS/GIT projects Teaching methods (representation of individual methods must be quantified in %) Lectures 35 % Exercises 35 % Individual work 30 % Annotation The course introduces the students to planning and projecting geographical information systems and other geoinformation technologies. The scope of the course includes strategic planning and management, mainly the ROI method, general rules for developing and operation of GIS applications, geoinformation infrastructures, methods used for economic evaluation of GIS applications, technical harmonization, normalization, quality management and project management. The course includes examples of selected case studies of developing GIS applications and implementation of the INSPIRE Directive.
