In cooperation with Kaufland, the analysis of transport accessibility, the suitability of the site in relation to the population, competition and the suitability of the site in relation to the economic potential was addressed. At the same time, procedures such as a spatial interaction model with catchment area delineation and an econometric model using Google Trends with resulting sales estimates were applied.
The subject of the project was the development of a universal procedure and supporting tools for the purpose of elaboration of MUSES.
On the basis of mathematical modelling of the impact of scenarios of measures in the basins (560 profiles) on the peak flow and design flood wave caused by causal precipitation with a probability of recurrence of 100 years, the effectiveness of natural measures in forests, agricultural land and urbanised areas was evaluated and the need for implementation of technical measures proposed in the flood risk management plans of individual sub-basins of the Slovak Republic was demonstrated in order to meet the objectives of Article 2.1.1 of Regulation (EC) No. 1 of the Flood Risk Assessment and Management Directive - to reduce the adverse effects of floods on human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity.
Development of a Web GIS application containing several GIS and modelling tools for the operational solution of water management tasks, which serves as the main tool for testing mapping, analytical and reporting services integrated into the "TIS" portal of the Slovak Water Management Company.
The aim of the project was to assess the risks of groundwater quality in the BSK with the development of proposals for protective measures for their sustainable use. Within the framework of the project, the research team of ESPRIT spol. s r.o. carried out the following sub-tasks under the direction of the responsible investigator in the form of an external study: analysis and modification of the algorithm of the one-dimensional advection-dispersion transport model with dual porosity published in (F. Cornaton & P. Perrochet, 2001) and its implementation in the modelling software. Creating and populating a geospatial database with relevant spatial data necessary for the operation of the modelling software components. Creation of outputs and their integration in the internet environment - calibration of the model and creation of a groundwater vulnerability map. Geographical spatial analysis of risks resulting from the degree of groundwater vulnerability and existing contamination load in the territory of BSK. Uploading the outputs to the geographical database and the web portal.
The aim of the project was the development of an expert operational system for the determination of hydrological and climatic design variables for flood protection of towns and villages in the Slovak Republic.
The subject of the delivery was a fully functional stand-alone software - geographic information system, capable of visualizing, managing, creating and analyzing geographic data with the possibility of working with geographic network type data to provide IT support for waste management. Based on the use of the information of the collection information system, i.e. the precise quantification and spatial localisation of waste in all procedural stages of collection, it is possible, in cooperation with GIS technologies, to carry out a detailed and qualitatively more valuable spatial analysis of the generation and treatment of waste and to optimally manage the entire system by evaluating the current state of the location of points of interest and optimising it, by implementing a dispatcher workstation and by integrating it with other components of the municipal IS.
Within the framework of the project, in cooperation with partners NLC-Zvolen and ŠGÚDŠ Bratislava, a comprehensive complex simulation and modelling tool was developed, which includes tools and an extensive database of input geographic data for rainfall-runoff modelling, erosion modelling and pollution propagation, adapted to Slovak physical-geographical conditions and providing extensive possibilities for assessing and predicting changes in the behaviour of the entire catchment system depending on natural and anthropogenic influences. The modelling tool has been used in several projects and tasks (e.g. Hydrofor (HUSKROUA/1101/262), National Forestry Centre, SVP - Assessment of the potential impact of existing and proposed preventive measures in the catchment on the achievement of the objectives of the flood risk management plan - modelling of rainfall-runoff processes and hydrological response of the catchment to defined scenarios).
The subject of the project were the following activities: - Design and implementation of GIS server environment
- Design of the structure and implementation of the geodatabase
- Cartographization and publication of mapping services for air quality management and for the Climatological and Meteorological Information System
- Development of geoprocessing tools and their publication through standardised services for use in web applications.
- Design and implementation of standard WEB-GIS functionalities
- Design and implementation of specialised GIS functionalities for air quality management via web applications
- Design and implementation of specialised WEB-GIS functionalities for the Climatological and Meteorological Information System
The aim of the geological task project was to create multifunctional usable geological and hydrogeological bases of the primary landscape structure for optimal nature protection and rational landscape management (landscape-ecological planning) for the whole territory of Slovakia and to create unified regional characteristics of morphological and geological zonation of the territory, processing of data on groundwater levels and resources, their natural and legislative protection.
The aim of the project was to develop a methodological approach for the creation and assessment of representative geoecosystems at the regional level in order to develop an effective biodiversity conservation strategy. The sub-objectives can be considered as:
• Development of a methodological procedure for the delineation of REPGES at regional level
• Establishment of criteria for the assessment of REPGES (current state of their use, conservation and threats) and their application at the level of individual regions of the Slovak Republic
• Establishing a biodiversity conservation strategy based on the protection of REPGES
In cooperation with KVHK SvF STU Bratislava, a tool (distributed hydrological model) was developed to model hydrological processes in catchments without observation of hydrological elements. The conceptual structure of several existing hydrological models was used as a basis for the development of the model. Existing solutions were modified to be suitable for modelling runoff from precipitation and snowmelt in our physical-geographical conditions. Combining physical and empirical relationships, we modeled the following hydrologic processes: precipitation, snow accumulation and snowmelt, interception, accumulation in surface depressions, surface runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, percolation, hypodermal runoff, baseflow, and water balance in the root and saturated zones.
An important cartographic work which was awarded the Cartographic Work of the Year in the Atlases category at the conference of the International Cartographic Association in Paris.
The main task was the processing and compilation, prepress preparation and printing of a representative work of Slovak science, which contains about 760 maps in scales from 1:10 000 to 1:4 000 000. The work was processed in the form of a printed book, an electronic book and a DVD.
