Abstract

Visualization and analyses of spatial data represents important source of information, which are very helpful in understanding spatial occurrences and which affects accepting of spatial decisions. For effective extraction of information from spatial data, many different software solutions are available today. The goal of this bachelor thesis is to establish a geographic information system, where will be possible to show and arrange already prepared geographical data and their attributes in 3D space, which are stored in PostgreSQL database. Beside possibility of displaying static data, we will be possible to display dynamic data, such as the position of GPS systems and other different modules. In this bachelor thesis I briefly introduced and described the concept of geographic informational system and the importance and meaning of spatial data. Then I described tools and technologies that we used in making this system. This thesis describes presentation, goals and functionalities of the system, as well as problems and conclusions in development of information system. The system functionality is divided in two parts – the control part, which allow us to show and change attributes of spatial data through web pages. The second part is the viewer in which we present spatial data or spatial information in 3D space.
