Course objectives
Students will acquire basic knowledge of territorially oriented information systems not only in the Czech Republic (municipal information systems and state information systems). They will become familiar with the thematic structure of these systems, data and cartographic documents, as well as the standards used in the state information system. Attention is also paid to general familiarization with the main commercial products that are used for the creation of territorially oriented information systems. Seminars on the subject are aimed at developing knowledge about the use of information services in public administration.

- describe and explain the basic concepts and principles of digital cartography
- describe basic data sources, registers of the Czech Republic
