Course Description
In a world increasingly reliant on geographic data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an indispensable tool for understanding and analyzing spatial patterns and making informed decisions across various fields, from urban planning to environmental resource management.
This course aims to equip learners with a comprehensive understanding of GIS, covering both theoretical foundations and advanced practical applications.
Participants will gain insights into GIS components, data acquisition techniques, georeferencing systems, spatial analysis, remote sensing, navigation satellite systems, and the latest GIS trends across different sectors.
If you are a student in geography, engineering, or urban planning and interested in learning spatial data analysis tools and modern GIS trends, or if you are a decision-maker or an urban planning and development professional, join us today to acquire the knowledge and skills that will empower you to harness the power of GIS.
What you'll learn
After completing this course the learner will be able to:
• Identify the fundamental concepts of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including its history and key components.
• Explain data acquisition techniques and spatial and attribute data modeling used in GIS.
• Analyze georeferencing systems, including coordinate systems, datum transformation, and map projections.
• Apply spatial analysis tools such as overlay operations, layer classification, and geoprocessing techniques.
• Compare remote sensing techniques, different types of resolutions, and their applications in geographic studies.
• Evaluate sources of errors in Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and methods for correcting them to ensure data accuracy.
• Explore the latest applications and trends in GIS, such as Geo-AI and Digital Twin models.
