SPA313 Advanced GIS Applications and Modelling (8)
Prerequisite: SPA406
This capstone subject challenges the student to utilize their entire learned spatial toolbox on several real-world modelling problems. The subject teaches students how to turn tools into models, and introduces the idea of developing applications from those models. Students will employ vector, raster, 3-dimensional and network analysis to provide creative solutions to the planning problems. Tasks will be tackled in a structured manner, using flowcharting, project management methods, extensive background research and formal reporting. Project cost analysis and proposal development will also be addressed, as well as uncertainty management.
