Course description:

The acquisition of basic knowledge of about topographic cartography with a focus on achieving the ability to distinguish topographic objects and their display on topographic maps in accordance with the Topographic Information System of Croatia (CROTIS). The acquisition of basic knowledge of visualization and communication with the help of topographic maps in order to establish and maintain topographic maps. Learning outcomes at the level of the programme to which the course contributes <ul><li>Understand the role of geodesy, geoinformatics and spatial data in modern world, demonstrate competences in measuring systems, methods and technologies of measurement and spatial data collection. <li>Make plans, maps and related presentations using modern methods and technologies on the basis of measured data and other sources. <li>Determine and interpret the size, properties and relations of objects in space on the basis of measured data, spatial databases, plans and maps. <li>Maintain topographic, cartographic, maritime and navigation, and land information systems, integrate and visualise spatial information. <li>Exercise appropriate judgements on the basis of performed calculation processing and interpretation of data obtained by means of surveying and its results. <li>Prepare official public documents, reports, graphic and cartographic presentations using the surveying results related to objects in space.</ul> Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course <ul><li>Explain the topographic mapping and its purpose and tasks, view the development of topographic maps and topographic surveys, <li>Describe the Official Topographic-Cartographic Information System RC (STOKIS), <li>Explain the organization of the Topographic Information System of Croatia (CROTIS), development of data models CROTIS (object entities, groups, types, attributes), <li>Explain the purpose and structure of the Military's information system (VoGIS), <li>Analyze and argue the purpose and use of topographic maps, and topographic information users and their needs, <li>Differentiate and analyze topographic data themes and their features, and use the method of their display on topographic maps at different scales, <li>Define the formation of map graphics of topographic maps, and analyze and use cartographic key for topographic maps, <li>Describe and analyze the Ordinance on the method of topographic survey and on the elaboration of national maps and Rules on keeping and use of documents and data state survey and real estate cadastre, <li>Describe and differentiate existing topographic maps for the territory of Croatia and contemporary official topographic maps of the Republic of Croatia (civil and military).</ul> Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus) Lectures (per 2-hour lectures): <ol><li>Introductory lecture and valuation rules of students through the semester. <li>Definition of topographic cartography. Development and tasks topographic cartography. <li>Topographic survey. The creation of topographic maps. <li>Definitions topographic maps. The basics of the topographic information systems (TIS). The purpose and use of topographic maps and TIS's. <li>In topographical information and their needs. A series of benchmarks topographic maps. <li>Topographic objects and their features. Settlements, roads, water, vegetation, relief and boundaries and their display on topographic maps. <li>Midterm exam 1 <li>Creation of map graphics of topographic maps. Cartographic keys for topographic maps. <li>Accuracy of topographic maps. <li>Overview of topographic maps for the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Modern topographic map of Croatia - civilian and military. <li>Regulation on the manner of Topographic Survey and preparation of state map. <li>Rules on keeping and use of documents and data state survey and real estate cadastre. <li>National topographic and cartographic information system Croatia (STOKIS). Structure of the Topographic Information System of Croatia - CROTIS and military geoinformation system - VoGIS. <li>Midterm exam 2 <li>Repeated and makeup test</ol> Exercises: Making the default display of objects on topographic maps of different scales with different software and analysis made tasks.
