Basic professional training in the field of “Basic functionality and application of GIS” will provide participants with basic knowledge of geoinformation system tools. The participants will be introduced to the concept of GIS, and the possibilities of application, and will be introduced to the method and basic work within the open-source program package Quantum GIS (QGIS).

According to the plan and program of the basic professional training, participants will get to know the basic capabilities of QGIS, which will enable them to find their way around and create a foundation for further advanced spatial analysis of geodata. The possibilities of transformation between coordinate systems, and the possibilities of georeferencing will be explored, the collection and editing of data will be explained, and the familiarization with different types of data (vector and raster).

The result of the course is the creation of the foundation and transfer of knowledge about the concept of GIS, its applications in everyday life, familiarization with tools for processing spatial data, and providing basic knowledge about visualization, management, editing, and simple spatial analysis of geodata through the creation and visualization of a basic GIS map.

Duration: 2 days

Location: Zagreb

Maximum number of participants: 10

Scheduled date: Spring 2023.

Advanced professional training will provide participants with knowledge of tools that enable the interactive use of spatial data and sharing with end users in standardized web GIS formats.

Using GeoServer, users will learn how to bring their data and projects to life and share them with others through standardized OWS (OGC) web services. Using MapStore, users will learn to visualize data served via Geoserver to develop a functional webGIS application. Through advanced professional training, participants will be trained to independently install and set up the working environment of Geoserver and MapStore, they will be introduced to parts of the web interface, workspace, and data directories. Participants will receive guidelines on how to use spatial data within web GIS products that are publicly available and which standards and rules must be followed.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, they will also gain practical experience working with raster and vector layers that they will prepare, create and then publish and style using Geoserver, and visualize them using MapStore.
