Course description and aims

In recent years, a variety of information relating to the national land, city and regions, has been being developed as a huge knowledge data base. This lecture overviews the theory and techniques to take advantage of this knowledge data base, and considers some applications by mathematical models.

Student learning outcomes

Students will be able to understand how to create, save, manage, display, and analyze the various spatial data.

Keywords

Spatial Data, Geographical Information Systems, Raster Data, Vector Data, Algorithm, Data Storage, Digital Elevation Model, Triangulated Irregular Network model, Data Error

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills ✔ Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

First, we discuss the basic technology related to spatial data, and then the case studies of urban analysis using spatial data will be introduced. Finally, every students will actually analyze the spatial data, and make a presentation about the results. Attendance is taken in every class.
