The aim of the course:
Mapping/associating the spatial distributions of social (population, socio-economic, etc.) and physical (climate, topography, etc.) data related to the space, understanding spatial patterns and processes, visualization and evaluation in both regional and urban scales
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : Learn the means for spatial data collection, database creation, mapping 12 - 18 - 19 - 216,
LO - 2 : Qualify themselves on the analysis, synthesis/inquiry/interpretation of spatial data and on database creation for planning (threshold analysis, etc.) 12 - 18 - 19 - 211,6,
LO - 3 : Analyse and interpret spatial/temporal distribution/change of social/human data12 - 18 - 19 - 211,6,
LO - 4 : Analyse and interpret spatial/temporal distribution/change of physical data12 - 18 - 19 - 211,6,
