This course provides students with an introduction to the concepts, principles and methods of geospatial analytics and their practical applications of geospatial analytics in real world operations. Emphasis will be placed on (i) locating, acquiring and integrating business data into geospatial data repository, (ii) understand the principles and methodologies of the geocoding process, (iii) become familiar with geovisualisation, spatial analysis and location modelling techniques, and (iv) explore the technologies and possibilities of server-based and/or web-based spatially enabled decision support systems.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: Understand the basic concepts and theories of GIScience and geospatial analytics, Create and manage spatially-enabled real world data, Use appropriate geovisualisation and mapping techniques to analyse and visualise geographical data, Understand the basic concepts and methods of geocomputation and geospatial analytics, Use appropriate geospatial analysis methods in detecting, analysing and modelling geospatial patterns and relationships, and Design and implement spatially enabled geospatial analytics applications.
Students developed a geospatial dashboard that would facilitate the organisation's evaluation of different potential library siting locations through better prediction of the catchment and number of patrons it can potentially attract.
