Education facts

Code: AMI23L

This course starts with an introduction to GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and the main characteristics of spatial data. This part of the course focuses on the construction of thematic maps, mapping conventions and map design. The next part of the course covers techniques to handle, analyse and visualise spatial data in R. The results are presented in a report generated using R and other relevant applications. The last part of the course uses large spatial datasets and spatial statistics to solve locational problems. In connection with this type of analysis methodological problems related to levels of scale and aggregation of micro data will be discussed.
