Location & approach

By car

The TU Dortmund campus is located near the Dortmund West interchange, where the A45 Sauerland line crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, while the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. Coming from the A45, you can turn onto Stockumer Straße via Universitätsstraße. This in turn is connected to Baroper Straße, along which Campus South extends. If you take the exit of the A-40, the route via Emil-Figge Straße, Marie-Curie Allee to Baroper Straße is appropriate. If you turn from Baroper Straße into August-Schmidt Straße, you have the opportunity to reach the parking lot directly behind the GB III.

By bus and train

The South Campus is connected via Stockumerstraße by bus lines 440 and 449, which run every 10 minutes. Campus South can be reached on foot from the Am Gardenkamp stop, and the Eichlinghofen H-Bahn station is also located near the Eichlinghofen stop. The bus lines connect to the U42 light rail line at the Barop Parkhaus stop, which provides connections to the Dortmund-Hombruch district and Dortmund downtown.

By overhead railway (H-Bahn)

From Dortmund-Eichlinghofen, the South Campus is connected to the H-Bahn network via the Eichlinghofen H-Bahn station. Line 1 runs here every 10 minutes, and the South Campus is served by the Campus Süd stop.
A connection to Campus North is also provided. Line 2 shuttles between Campus North and Campus South every 5 minutes.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Lectures

Module 10: GIS in Spatial Planning

11.04.2024 - 18.07.2024 Location: HS 6

Information about the lecture

Description

The lecture "GIS in Spatial Planning" aims to provide both theoretically based fundamentals of geo-information systems and practical skills for GIS use in spatial planning. After a general introduction to GIS, practical examples are used to demonstrate the important role of GIS as an effective tool for processes in contemporary spatial planning. Central topics of the lecture are analysis and visualisation techniques of GIS as well as the planning and implementation of GIS projects.

The following contents are covered:

Introduction to GIS
GIS significance for spatial planners
Mathematics and computer science basics
Acquisition of spatial data
Modelling
Spatial analysis methods for vector and raster data
Visualisation of spatial data, cartography
Implementation of GIS projects for spatial planning

The theoretical basis as well as all analysis and visualisation methods are explained using the ArcGIS Pro software (Environmental Systems Research Institute, ESRI). Through practical exercises, students can gradually acquire relevant GIS methods, effectively learn how to use ArcGIS and independently develop the diverse application possibilities of GIS.

Note: As part of the organisation process, your attendance at the first lecture is needed.

Credits
Exam: Module exam - 1 of 3 (graded)
Type of exam: Student assignment
