Public :
  • Graduate from all technical disciplines.

Level :Awareness

Prerequisite :
  • No pre-requisistes are necessary to follow this course.

Course Content

  • INTRODUCTION TO GIS

      • Understand the components, goals, and reasons so many professionals use GIS.

  • GIS BASICS

      • Essential GIS concept and tools and data types; principle of cartographic geo-referencing.

  • COORDINATES SYSTEMS & PROJECTION

      • Introduction to principal coordinate system and projections.
      • Understand the datum and coordinates conversion. Maps classification.

  • GEOREFERENCING

      • Theory and practice of georeferencing. Error estimation and maps re-projection.

  • VECTOR & RASTER MODEL

      • Definition of raster and vector model. Concept of pixel, resolution and grid model. Definition of point, polyline, polygon. Shapefile model, table of attributes, field definition, records and entities.

  • DATA EDITING

      • Shapefile creation, graphic and alphanumeric editing.

  • GEOPROCESSING OPERATORS

      • Operators for extraction, selection, proximity and statistics. Data overlaying, intersection and buffering.

  • NUMERIC CARTOGRAPHY

      • Digitalization and standardization of cartography. Topographic databases and their characteristics.

  • GEODATABASE MODEL

      • Presentation of SQL language for database interrogation. Usage of SQL syntax to extract data from a database. Definition of logical (AND, OR, NOT, XOR…) and mathematical operators.

  • TOPOLOGIES

      • Definition of topologies, relations among points, lines and polygons. Topological rules and their utilization.

  • RELATIONS, JOIN & SPATIAL JOIN

      • Creation of join and spatial join among shapefiles and tables. Rules definition and implementation.

  • RASTER ALGEBRA

      • Operations among raster data. Zonal and local operations.

  • SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS

      • Performing data analysis on spatial data, criteria, potential and future development. Selecting features; interactive selection; select by attributes; select by location; using the right tool of selection.

  • DECISION MODEL CREATION
