Summary
The subject links to Spatial Database Systems I and evolves reached knowledge of design, analysis, production, implementation and running of information systems. Within the subject are consulted individual stages of life-cycle IS/IT, from proposal of information strategy to the running and finalization of IS and individual category and level of assignments in architecture of IS/IT. The special attention is given to application of geoinformation technologies.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the subject is to familiarize students with basic aspects of implementation IS/IT in organizations. Specific features of GIS and GIT construction are explained. The student will gain the knowledge for complex design, analysis, evaluation and examination of needs for informative changes in organization, with focus on geoinformation technogies.
