Geographical Information System Analysis
This course is an introduction of geographic information system (GIS). It comprises basic GIS concepts and hands-on applications. The GIS concepts present GIS terms and spatial analysis theories, and some practical exercises are designed for students to solve the actual problems. In the applications of GIS, an system for urban planning, and a decision-support system for disaster reduction will be presented.
Course goals:
1. Keep the track of GIS research in the department right with the trend of Geographic Information Science.
2. Understand how to perform a broad range of spatial analyses.
3. Be able to determine the appropriate approach to take with a spatial analysis problem and assess the resources needed to
solve it.
4. Have practical experience in the application of spatial analysis methods to real problems.
5. Have a detailed and critical understanding of the theoretical and practical problems involved in spatial analysis.
6. Have a broad understanding of the approaches to spatial analysis problems used in industry, as well as those solutions at
the forefront of modern research.
