The thesis aims to design and implement the back-end part of a platform that will serve as a system for mapping sustainable initiatives and locations related to Masaryk University and the city of Brno. The client side of the platform is not part of this assignment and will take the form of a web application with an interactive map that helps students and MU employees make more sustainable decisions. The platform will be developed in cooperation with teams from other faculties participating in the SustainMap project. The aim of this master’s thesis is to capture the project’s development process and to extend the basic implementation requirements with regard to the long-term maintainability of the developed platform.

The thesis will focus on describing the problem domain as well as methodological approaches to software development, such as requirements analysis and project management. The text will also address technical aspects, particularly software architecture, selected technologies, system integration, testing, and deployment.

As part of the practical implementation, the back end of the platform will be developed in the Kotlin programming language and submitted as part of the thesis. The code will be sufficiently covered by unit and integration tests to
ensure the platform’s long-term maintainability. The application will be deployed to a staging server and will undergo basic user testing.
