CRG- 504 C,C++ and Visual BasicsIntroduction In the current GIS, we use desktop software aimed at the end users. They see the software as a black box and require that the software provides enough functions through a user friendly interface. We aim at "system developers" which use software providing different kinds of object libraries including GIS operations. System developers use these libraries to develop interfaces in an object-oriented language such as Visual Basic. As geo-informatics professionals, you must follow the development of the software industry to be able to develop GIS applications with this software. Programming is an essential skill to develop applications in such an environment. Contents: This module consists of two subjects: Principles of programming using C, C++ and VB. This subject introduces the basic concepts of computing and programming languages. After a number of lectures, you will be asked to solve some problems on paper to demonstrate that you understand the concepts and are able to write simple programs using a pseudo language. Basics of Visual Basic. The main contents are the integrated development environment and object-oriented programming in Visual Basic.

In many cases now the problem is not lack of data/information, but the selection and process of data to generate meaningful and timely information that can support better management of water resources. In this line, this module introduces the water resource planning and management process, the trend and the role if information technology, and contributes to development and operationalization of a framework for planning and decision-making to support better management of water resources. This is carried out to provide information for decision makers to make an effective and efficient choice so that the selected option is attainable (can be realized, and is practical), desirable (acceptable to all stakeholders), and fulfils the minimum requirements. Therefore, this module will address, decision making process, plan formulation process, modelling integrated water resource management, impact assessment and valuation of various management options, plans, scenarios, interventions through multiple criteria evaluation which leads to selection, recommendation of specific action, in the context of land and water resource management.

ELECTIVE-III CRG-611 Land Information System Introduction
During the first two weeks of the module, the SA participants will look at land use planning and the role of land evaluation this process. Special attention will be given to GIS applications to Land Evaluation procedures. In the third week, a multi-disciplinary case study will be carried out, and the participants will divide into stakeholder groups to mimic a multi-disciplinary Land Use Planning exercise.
Contents: The Land Information System module covers the following topics:
CRG 612 Urban Poverty Introduction Poverty is a significant phenomenon in many cities throughout the world and one that has many linkages with informality. In some cities more than 50% of the population may reside in so-called informal settlements and the livelihood of many households may depend on incomes derived through informal economic activities. This module examines the concepts of poverty and informality and how they are related to and impact urban development. In particular the role of local governments in urban poverty alleviation and the use of geo-information technology is explored. Specific attention is given to the potential policy instruments that respond to poverty and informality, the data requirements that are related to these instruments and how the data can be collected, managed and utilized. Case studies provide an opportunity to explore in a more practical setting how GIT can be applied in urban poverty alleviation. Cases focus on the development of appropriate policy responses to address urban poverty. Participants work on their cases in groups in which their individual specialization knowkedge and perspectives should be examined in collaboration with other group members. Contents
