SPA406 GIS Applications (8)
Abstract|
This subject extends the study of GIS by developing advanced skills in the complex modeling of spatial data. Subject modules include: 1) A review of analysis functions, 2) Selected advanced analysis, 3) Modeling and flowcharting, 4) Raster analysis. The practical component forms an integral part in developing the necessary skills in GIS modeling. It is assumed students have already had an introduction to GIS techniques. The subject has no residential school. On completion of this subjects students have the ability to make sound judgments regarding the appropriate use of cartographic modeling, analysis of continuous surfaces, network analysis, and discrete/continuous raster analysis. |
