GEOG24025 Introduction to Vector Analysis

This course will develop basic abilities to employ vector-based data in geographic information systems. Students will study the basic techniques in the creation, editing, manipulation, analysis and presentation of vector-based spatial data. Basic abilities will be developed to use such data to produce maps and GIS layers, and to interpret the spatial components in data. Stress will be placed on appreciating the practical utility of maps, GIS and spatial data modelling for research and problem solving.
