Geoinformatika a geoinformační technologie
... Efektívnym spôsobom ako rozvíjať u žiakov všetky poznatky a kľúčové kompetencie je využitie geopriestorových technológií v BOV. Geopriestorové technológie (alebo geoinformačné technológie) definuje Rapant (2006) ako "špecifické informačné technológie určené pre spracovávanie geodát a geoinformácií, ich získavaním počínajúc a končiac vizualizáciou". Ide o technológie, ktoré sú schopné definovať akýkoľvek objekt na zemskom povrchu a určiť jeho vybrané vlastnosti, pracovať s priestorovou dimenziou a zbierať, resp. ...
... Viaceré z nich nesú cenný potenciál a z nich sa javí veľmi zaujímavým práve diaľkový prieskum Zeme (DPZ), kde sa možno oprieť o nespočetné množstvo vhodných internetových stránok či mapových serverov (tzv. geowebov), čo súvisí najmä s rozvojom internetu (Rapant, 2003(Rapant, , 2006. Mnohé z nich majú pomerne jednoduché intuitívne ovládanie vhodné pre vyučovací proces na rôznych stupňoch vzdelávania. ...
... Súčasná doba je charakteristická neustále sa rozvíjajúcimi informačnými technológiami zasahujúcimi prakticky do všetkých oblastí života. GIS sú typickým príkladom takýchto technológií, ktoré svojou interdisciplinárnosťou ovplyvňujú všetky odvetvia a zároveň ich rozvoj vyplýva z pôsobenia viacerých vedných disciplín a praktických oblastí života (Rapant, 2006;Boltižiar, Vojtek, 2009). Geografické informačné systémy môžu byť definované mnohými autormi rôzne, avšak podstata ich účelu je rovnaká. ...
... The device must be able to process the signal coming from at least three space satellites. However, if we are interested in the height of the analyzed object, we must receive and analyze a signal from at least four satellites [11]. Built-in GPS signal receivers are usually a standard part of modern smartphones (due to the provision of complex geolocation services). ...
Research background: Electronic communication fundamentally influences social behavior of the society. An unlimited virtual connection to the outside world and the minimal costs needed to reach out to a particular subject cause personal contact to become of marginal importance. The starting point may be, in certain cases, the ability of a mobile device to provide interested parties with relatively accurate geographical data mapping the distribution of objects in space. Therefore, localization of individual participants in the communication process becomes a prerequisite for establishing a contact in the real world. Moreover, localization also serves as a tool for creating highly personalized messages based on a combination of geographical, demographic, psychographic and behavioral characteristics.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is to research the peculiarities associated with the localization of portable electronic devices in the space and the associated efforts to improve the level of personalized communication in line with the right timing of wireless distribution of advertising content to the recipient.
Methods: In order to achieve the stated goal, the author made use of several research methods to research the use of localization technologies in software products supporting social interaction between users of portable electronic devices. In particular, the author used analytical, inductive, deductive and comparative research methods. The paper also contains the results of several scientific studies presenting the latest market trends reflecting on research from abroad.
Findings & Value added: The paper contributes to the definition of the specifics that characterize the various types of localization technologies which convey information to the target audience within SoLoMo marketing.

In the present publication (monograph) we tried to provide an view of the current
state of implementation of decision support systems and spatial decision support systems in forestry practice, both at European as well as national level.
The addressing issue, in addition to decision support field, is the field of risk management
in management on forest land. Addressing this issue is justified especially in
relation to climate change impacts and adaptation of forestry to these impacts, particularly with a view to the future.
In the monograph, in addition to the theoretical basis for decision support and risk
management, we present the application of decision support systems, spatial decision
support systems respectively, for the assessment of selected components of risk. Applying the decision-making models and statistical methods we solve particularly the
issue of susceptibility and vulnerability assessment of an area to fire, in addition to
the assessment of the susceptibility and vulnerability of the area to the wind and bark
beetle.

One of the solutions for modernization of education can be an integration of new technologies into classrooms in order to provide teachers with tools for application of acquired knowledge in everyday life. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are from this aspect a very good assistant of the modern teacher. If we combine ICT and geographical information, we bring a wide range of possibilities of applying theoretical knowledge in practical situations. There are many ways of how to connect ICT and spatial information. One of them is the use of geoinformation technologies in education. The aim of the paper is the analysis and assessment of the current state of using geoinformation technologies in secondary schools on the example of the Nitra Self-governing Region which was researched via questionnaire survey. The survey was conducted during June and September 2015 and it involved 25 secondary schools from NSG and 40 geography teachers. There were 19 high schools, 3 secondary vocational schools and the same number of business academies. The results of the questionnaire survey were analyzed and processed into outputs in the form of graphs.
... Mobile geoinformation technologies allow the user to work with spatial dimension and collect data anywhere and anytime (Lemmens, 2011). According to Rapant (2006), they integrate the following: small portable computers (e.g. PDA, tablets), software for geoinformation systems, geodata, wireless communication technologies, GPS devices, Internet, and geoweb. ...
The Global Positioning System (GPS) or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) are
geoinformation technologies that enable to collect information on position anywhere and anytime. The
aim of the paper is to analyze, compare, and assess measurements made by four GPS devices
(Trimble Juno 3B, Garmin Oregon 550t, Garmin GPSmap 78s, Garmin eTrex) and one GNSS device
(Trimble Pathfinder Pro 6H with Trimble Juno 3B as the control unit), which we used as a reference
device when assessing their accuracy. The measurements were carried out on 14th April 2015 on the
example of hiking trail in the Tribeč mountains: Liečebný ústav Zobor (Zobor Medical Centre) – vrch
Zobor (Zobor peak) – Svoradov prameň (spring). The task of GPS measurements in the field was to
measure the hiking trail and position and elevation of hiking guideposts on the trail and comparing
them with the indicated elevation. There were sections with various conditions for receiving signal from
satellites on the trail (open space, woody vegetation covers) which affected the number of satellites,
from which the individual devices were able to receive signal, and thus the actual measurements. The
total length of the reference trail is 4.75 km, the lowest point on the trail has 290.2 m, the highest point
(Zobor peak) has 586.9 m, and elevation difference represents 296.7 m. We localized seven
guideposts along the measured trail: 1. Liečebný ústav Zobor, 2. Svoradov prameň, 3. Tri duby,
4. Lyžiarska lúka, 5. Zobor, 6. Sedlo pod Zoborom, and 7. Pyramída. However, measured elevations
were in most cases lower than those indicated on the guideposts while vertical accuracy during the
measuring ranged from 0.8 m to 6.2 m. Average of deviations of individual trails from the reference
trail ranged from 2.7 m (Trimble Juno 3B) to 6.7 m (Garmin eTrex). On the other hand, the values of
maximum deviation ranged from 9.2 m (Garmin Oregon 550t) to 46.6 m (Garmin eTrex). In the case of
the reference device itself, the horizontal error ranged from 0.4 to 8.8 m while the average of errors
was 3.2 m. The vertical error ranged from 0.5 to 20.1 m with the average value of 5.1 m. The results
indicate that the selection of GPS device depends on the task which is needed to be done. Typical
(tourist) GPS devices are primarily sufficient for navigation and orientational measurements in the
field. High accuracy and efficiency of data collection is provided mainly by GNSS devices. Moreover,
their measurements can be further corrected (reference stations) in real time or after the measures are
done by so-called postprocessing.
This conceptual monograph responds to insufficient support for developing geoinformation skills in Czech lower and upper secondary schools. It aims to create an interconnected system for developing geoinformation skills in teaching in lower and upper secondary schools, emphasizing the implementation of GIS tools and proposing principles for the development of geoinformation skills in teaching. For this purpose, a matrix of learning tasks is created, arranged according to individual geoinformation skills – reading, selection, use, creation, and sharing. The monograph is intended mainly for pre-service and in-service geography teachers at lower and upper secondary schools, the leaders of school educational programmes, and teachers in non-formal education. The monograph, including learning tasks and other materials, is available online at https://gitdoskol.ped.muni.cz.
Distance education at universities during the COVID-19 pandemic was implemented through various so-called learning management systems (LMSs). These environments are primarily used for teacher–student communication, assignment, and sharing of learning materials, testing, and assessment. This article aims to evaluate the Google Classroom environment’s perception by university students of the courses Teaching Academic Subjects and Geography, forced to study through distance learning during the second half of the semester. Students filled out a questionnaire focused on the perception and evaluation of the Google Classroom environment at the end of the semester. The students were divided into two groups, depending on whether they worked in the Google Classroom environment for the first time or not. The results were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and the semantic differential method. The results show students’ positive attitudes toward this environment, even though some were working with it for the first time. The perception and identification of the strengths and weaknesses of learning environments are essential in their future use in creating curricula and analysis of possible further use in other subjects or situations.
