The course focuses on advanced ADVANCED GIS AND DATABASE TECHNIQUES FOR URBAN AND POPULATION
STUDIES. Students meet with GIS technologies and spatial data using in the study of urban areas as well as
relevant projects and initiatives focussed on URBAN AND POPULATION STUDIES. Emphasis is placed on
practical introduction to databases and GIS tools: spatial analysis, 3D visualization... Students investigate the
most important spatial data databases about status and changes in urban areas, e.g. Urban Atlas, HRL from
Copernicus Programme

Introduction to the course, aims, content, schedule, evaluation and compulsory literature
The most relevant projects and initiatives on urban studies: e.g. Copernicus data and services, relevant data sources (e.g. Urban Atlas), data interoperability and harmonization… (P. Štych)
GIS analytical tools in the environmental studies of the urban areas: e.g. land cover changes in the urban and suburban zones, land taken (P. Štych)
Population spatial data and their relevance in the population studies: high resolution global gridded data for use in population studies, e.g. WorldPop database (P. Štych)
Spatial databases principles (why, what, how, types of database systems, OGC standard), GIS.lab geoinformation system (L. Brodský)
Spatial analysis in database systems (L. Brodský)
Urban risk assessment with spatial databases (L. Brodský)
3D models of spatial objects and their analysis in spatial databases (L. Brůha)
Population estimates using spatial disaggregation of 2D spatial data (Urban Atlas, OpenStreetMap) (L. Brůha)
