|
The objectives of this course are to provide a generic introduction to the field, to teach the ways of spatial phenomena can be represented in a computer system and other data processing systems, to focus on the process of using a GIS environment and implementing various spatial models. We discuss how spatial data can be obtained, entered and prepared for use, how data can be manipulated to improve our understanding of the spatial features and how the results of such manipulations can be simulated, analyzed and visualized |
