This course intends to serve as an introduction to Geographical Information Systems and their many applications, especially in relation to spatial planning, infrastructure and environment. It will provide theoretical and practical basics so that participants can successfully cope with the realization of simple projects using GIS software (Commercial and Open Source) and resources will be presented provided by the Spatial Data Infrastructure for access to the digital cartography.
After the completion of this course the participants will be able to consider the deepening in the use of Geographic Information Systems having a good basics to work with the vector model and the raster model. The knowledge acquired by the students will be crucial to the development of their projects, both in their university period, as in the course of their professional life.
Francisco Emilio Molero Melgarejo
Engineer, Doctor and Professor of Roads, Canals and Ports at the University of Granada in the Department of Urban and spatial Planning of the E.T.S. Engineering of Roads, Canals and Ports.
He is a specialist in Urban planning, spatial Planning, Environment and Geographic Information Systems and a member of the Research Group called “Territorial Synergies” at the University of Granada. He has collaborated on several Urban Planning and Sustainable Mobility Plans and has been director of more than thirty Hydrological-Hydraulic Studies associated to the planning and in a great number of Environmental Impact Studies and Territorial Diagnostics. He has taught more than 50 training courses highly specialized in areas such as Geographic Information systems, river modeling in public and private entities among which we can highlight: EGMASA, Tragsatec, Foundation Institute for euro-Mediterranean Water, professional Association of Engineers of Roads, Channels and Ports, Assyce Group, IADEE Training, etc...
It is also worth noting his participation in the project of development of a Geographic Information System for the management of spaces and infrastructure for the Conservation service of the Board of trustees of the Alhambra, the distinction in several contests of ideas for projects of urban and territorial national and international level projects, and the publication of a dozen ofresearch articles in international journals.
His main lines of research are aimed at: The simulation in urban and territorial and The mapping of processes and flows applied to the planning.
Jorge Hernández Marín
Engineer of Roads, Canals, and Ports at the University of Granada and Master UNIGIS in Geographic Information Systems who is also a member of the Research Group “Territorial Synergies”, at the University of Granada.
He has worked as self-employed professional in the GIS sector and has performed works as a GIS technician and analyst in the private consulting field.
Founding partner and CEO of GIS4tech SL, a Spin-Off of the University of Granada, he works as a specialist in the application of Geographic Information Systems in Civil Engineering, especially in Water and Environment areas . Between the tasks carried out by him, the use of GIS is permanently involved. He has also participated in the drafting of projects, territorial diagnostics, environmental, impact studies, hydrological-hydraulic studies, data analysis and spatial networks, creation of DTMs using LIDAR technologies, the realization all kinds of maps (topographic, thematic, flows, processes, spatio-temporary, etc) that serve as the basis for the realization of projects and its planning.
He has conducted more than a dozen of training courses in Geographic Information Systems at all levels (from training at the basic level up to of highly specialized levels).
20 hours of practical sessions and 16 hours of autonomous work.
All kinds of people related to the following branches:
