ArcGIS - Course Content

1. INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS


 Introduction
 Definition and basic concepts
 Applications and uses of Geographic Information Systems
 Geographic information: vector data models, raster data models and other data models
(CAD, TIN, etc.). Main features of each data module, advantages and disadvantages.
 Introduction to ArcGIS Desktop: ArcMap, ArCatalog, ArcToolbox, ArcScene and ArcGlobe
 Arcmap interface, extensions and tools
 Verification of the correct functioning of the software and assessment

2. VECTOR DATA MODEL. INFORMATION DISPLAY


 Information layers: how to add layers, features and attribute tables
 Tools to examine data: search and queries
 Selection tools: selection per feature, selection by spatial location and capture
information
 Symbology layers: simple symbology, by category, by quantity and through graphics
 Other display options: labelling and transparencies
 Practical exercises (load layers, types of selection, symbology) and assessment

3. COORDINATE SYSTEMS, PROJECTIONS AND GEOREFERENCING


 Introduction to Coordinate systems and projections
 Definition of Coordinate Systems
 Coordinate system transformation. ED50 or ETRS89 geographic database reprojection
 Georeferencing of images, layers and CAD files
 Practical exercises (define, project, image georeferencing and CAD) and assessment

4. VECTOR DATA MODEL. EDITING AND CREATING INFORMATION

 Creation and editing of spatial data


o Creation of spatial data: Editing tools bar. Digitization techniques
o Exporting and importing spatial information files from different formats (CAD,
DGN, Shp, ASCII, etc.). Create layers from CAD files
o Modify existing layers
o Creation of layers from coordinates
 Creation and editing of data in the attribute table:
o Structure of the Attribute table
o Types of data included in an attribute table
o Modify information from a table
o Calculate geometric information (Surface, perimeter, length, etc.)
o Creation of statistics from the table
o Export tables to Excel and other formats. Creation of reports and graphics
 Practical exercises (create layers, digitize, modify attribute tables, add fields, geometric
calculations, field calculator) and assessment.

5. DATABASE MANAGEMENT

 Design of a database
 Joins with Access databases and Excel files (Table relations)
 Spatial joins. Obtain statistics from database information and spatial position of the
elements creating the layer
 Practical exercises (join database and spatial relations) and assessment

6. SPATIAL ANALYSIS – MOST COMMON GEOPREOCESSING TOOLS


 Extract Toolset (Clip, Split)
 Overlay toolset (intersect, union)
 Proximity toolset (buffer analysis, Thiessen polygons)
 Multi-criteria analysis. Obtaining optimal areas according to several criteria
 Practical exercises (spatial analysis) and assessment

7. MAP PRODUCTION
 Adjusting the size and type of sheet
 Inserting cartographic elements: north, scale bar, numeric scale, map legend
 Including other elements: images, graphs and tables
 Adding several data frameworks
 Creation and use of templates
 Printing options
 Creation of a cartographic annex for a Project
