Subject Description

The ability of vector and raster-based GIS to analyse and manage spatial data is explored using applications to urban and regional planning and management of resources and services. GIS development is introduced using industry-standard software and a real-world problems. Spatial analysis and modelling techniques are explored to demonstrate the applications of GIS in a variety of areas including parcel-based land information system and network-based information system. Integration of remote sensing techniques is introduced to enhance the analytical capability of the spatial information system. Finally, the concept of an integrated GIS that acts as a decision support tool for urban local government is discussed.

Assessment

One project (40%) plus a two-hour examination (60%). As part of the preparation for these two tasks, students need to satisfactorily attempt eight small laboratory assignments.
