A13.1 Syllabus
Annexes > A13. Training
Annex 13: Training
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Beginner; general Map Maker training
The main goal of this Manual is to serve as a user manual, not training manual, but it can also be used for training.

A13.1.C) Formal Training Programmes
A comprehensive training programme should include following formal training:
1) 4 blocks of training on how to create maps and to supervise GIS work. Each block will take 1-2 weeks, according to the IT skills of the trainees.
- Basic GIS: Map Maker I (polygons, lines, vectors, raster, digitizing, snapping, editing etc)
- Advanced GIS: Map Maker II, fieldwork, cartography (styles, overlay, buffers, attributes, trouble shooting, GPS, projections etc)
- LUPMIS I and standards: Drawing Tools, standards (line, parallel, template, create parcels, planning zones, file names, standards etc)
- LUPMIS II: Printing Tools, Permit Database (print maps, technical QC, permit tools, permit data collection & entry, census tools etc)
2) Extensive training (5 days) on how to make use of GIS / LUPMIS for spatial planning.
- 3-tier planning system with GIS: Overview of all planning levels, land use zones, standards (role of GIS in planning, samples, introduction to LUPMIS, all LUPMIS tools etc)
- SDF with GIS: Translation of policies and development concepts into spatial patterns, census data (symbols, census tools, population figures/maps, density maps, development corridors, legends, overview, resource maps etc)
- Structure Plans with GIS: Integration of actial situation into spatial planning, land suitability, terrain (orthophotomaps, migration of SDF to Structure Plans, site analysis, buffers, roads, specific planning maps, overview in region etc)
- Local Plans with GIS: Land requirements, templates (phasewise delineation of Local Plans, land requirements, planning standards, zoning specs etc)
- Land administration with GIS: UPN, development control, interface to land sector agencies (UPN, housenumbers, Permit Database, exchange of data etc)
- Presentation: Final map plotting, visualization, report production with maps (Printing Tools, transfer of maps to other formats, 3D visualization)
- Supervision: M&E,QC, accuracy expection (hierarchy on planning and data, consistency between planning levels, field data collection, data acquisition/ownership etc)
3) Training on IT hardware and trouble shooting (2-4 weeks).
4) Training on IT / data administration, which might also include programming and capacity to modify the system (various months).

Beside these, on-the-job training, work supervision and distant learning will complement the learning process.
