1. Introduction to the study of GIS - the position of geoinformatics in crisis management; 2. Basic concepts of cartography, specifics in crisis management; 3. Coordinate systems (S-JTSK, S-42, ETRS, WGS84), military coordinate systems; 4. Map composition elements, map design; 5. GIS principles, HW and SW for GIS; 6. Geographic data and their use in crisis management (emergency response, hazardous spill mapping, vulnerability objects, critical infrastructure protection, environmental risk modeling - floods, fires, landslides, earthquakes...); 7. Creation of thematic maps - principles (data classification, generalization, symbology, map elements, colors. 8. Basic analysis in GIS environment over vector data; 9. Basic analysis in GIS environment over raster data; 10. Specific GIS analysis and tools for territorial risks - coordinate conversion, distance and direction, visibility, military analysis; 11. Navigation systems - GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo...) and military specialties; 12. Location-based services and new geoinformation technologies, Volunteered Geographic Information; 13. Map errors and critical cartography; 14. Case study on the use of GIS in territorial risk assessment.
