Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools are an organized integration of hardware, software and geographic data designed to capture, store, analyse and display geographically referenced information. This information is crucial in today's society, because it is a strategic asset that provides knowledge and added value to modern organizations. These technologies contain exceptional capabilities for working with the territory, and provide new ways of understanding and managing our environment.
The implementation of GIS geoinformation requires the modernization of human systems and teams in all kinds of organizations working in land management, urban planning and local management. The course aims to provide continuous training and
reorientation for professionals related to land management, and the local or municipal scale (among others) needing to
incorporate Geographic Information Technologies (CIT).
The course
Territorial Applications of GIS combines the bases of the study, case studies and application of methods and IT techniques in GIS in practical workshops aimed at improving the management, organization and processing of territorial and municipal geoinformation.
Students will work on constructing descriptors,
indicators and territorial and urban analysis parameters, on the development of 3D cartographies for the visualization of data, on advanced experiences in local management linked to open data and the new smart city concepts, among other areas. The application workshops will also include: geolocation, geo marketing and mobility analysis and strategies. Various platforms are used during the course, including ArcGis, QGIS and Geoomedia. For better monitoring of the program, it is advisable to have basic knowledge of ArcGis and QGIS. In the case of not having this knowledge, the possible access of the interested parties will be studied personalized.
A distinguishing feature compared to other courses is the high return on the practical learning provided by a high level of working autonomy and effective technical training for dealing with high level GIS competencies in the integration of geospatial data, in the world of business, creating consultancy projects and GIS implementation, territorial studies and documents, urban planning management, and the implementation of local GIS.
The teaching staff has extensive experience in the implementation of GIS projects in industry and government, as proven evidence by the projects undertaken in the GIS field in the city's
Virtual Modelling Laboratory.
