| Short description: | The subject develops skills and knowledge of the basics of geodesy and cartography in the performance of simple measuring, reading and developing the thematic maps which are used for the study and design related to spatial planning. The subject transmits knowledge to understand the importance of surveying works for the needs of spatial planning, and the ability to liaise with geodetic and cartographic departments. |

| Learning outcomes: | Knowledge The student knows the technology to basic surveying and mapping, rules for the simple surveying, knows techniques used in surveying to determine the position of the situational and height of points on the earth's surface. Skills The student is able to perform basic test - alignment of simple components, leveling, perform basic calculations, to use the coordinate systems and know their characteristics. The student can read and draw thematic maps and use them for the purposes of the study and design related to spatial planning. Social competences The student understands the importance of surveying works for the needs of spatial planning. Can cooperate with geodetic and cartographic services. |
