Module leader: Chalkias Christos
In this course a thorough examination of Geographical Information Systems is implemented.
The main aims are the presentation of GIS analytical functionality, the integration of GIS with other related technologies (e.g. Remote Sensing and Global Positioning Systems) and the construction advanced technical skills on the topic.
Upon successful completion of the module the students should be able to design a GIS project in both theoretical and practical terms, and carry out, successfully, case studies concerning various GIS applications in Geography.
GIS architectures – Geographical data processing – GIS analytical functions – GIS and Spatial Analysis – Topology/ graph theory – Geographical data output and visualization – GIS applications (cadastral, earth sciences, environment, local government, etc.) – GIS software customization – GIS modern trends – GIS and related technologies (Remote sensing, GPS, etc). Commercial GIS overview – GIS laboratory series.
Lectures and lab exercises cover the content of the module. Its assessment consists of the mid-semester evaluation the evaluation of the exercises and the final examination.
The module is also available through eclass platform (http://eclass.hua.gr/courses/GEO151/).
