Aim and Purpose
The course presenting the necessary geospatial analysis methodologies and their applications in continuous and discontinuous spatial data models, using modern tools, methods, and techniques in an increasingly changing competitive environment.
The aim of the course is the understanding of the theoretical framework of methodologies of geospatial analysis and their application under GIS environment, so the graduate students to be able to manage and construct geospatial data in an appropriate manner and to explore and interpret the results of their analyses.
Content
Introduction and terminology, Conceptual Frameworks for Geospatial Analysis, Methodological Context of Geospatial Analysis, Structuring data for Geospatial Analysis, Computational methods and Geospatial Analysis Models, Data exploration, and Spatial Statistics, Big Data and their management.
