Applied Geographical Information Systems

Course Description

Objectives

The module aims to introduce to the students the advanced spatial analysis with the use of GIS as well as GIS-based applications. Students are encouraged on project work in the field of applied GIS. The main target is the design, organization and implementation of real GIS projects using and enriching theoretical knowledge and technical skills of previous courses. At the end of the module students should be able to implement various GIS and spatial analysis applications, dealing with complex geographical phenomena, and have an overview of modern methods used in the industry and in research projects.

Content

GIS and advanced spatial analysis, GIS and geographical problem solving, GIS applications, multiriteria analysis and cartographic overlay, dynamic/spatiotemporal phenomena analysis and modeling, analytical hierarchy, spatial interpolation using GIS techniques.

Teaching & Assessment 

The final grade for the course is determined by 70% from two assignments and 30% from the final test.
