Purpose of class

The objective is to learn about the basic concepts of GIS necessary for using geographic information systems (GIS) and to acquire the basic methodology needed to be able to propose solutions to problems with GIS. The course aims to enable students to design and construct similar services using examples of services using geographic information systems that are used in the real world.

Course description

Spatial information science is the study of finding and solving problems from a spatial perspective by collecting, processing, integrating, managing, manipulating, and analyzing information related to space or geography. In this course, students will learn the basic concepts and methodologies of spatial information science, the structure of spatial data, methods of spatial analysis, and applications of spatial information science to society as the knowledge required to study geographic information systems

Goals and objectives

Students can an explain the basics required to use geographic information systems.
Students will be able to perform analyses using the basic functions of the geographic information system software.
Students can design analytical policies for problem solving using spatial information science.
Students can visualize the results of the analysis based on the designed analysis policy.
The student is able to cite administrative services using geographic information systems and explain the functions utilized.
