Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Typical of geography is thinking about the associations between the “places” of geographical phenomena. Maps are tools to transcribe “places,” and maps that show particular phenomena (thematic maps) are tools that allow us to consider and think, as well as being a means to express the findings of surveys and observations. Recently, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) in maps, which comprehensively handle and analyze various forms of geographic information, have become the norm. In this class, students will both study the fundamentals as well as being introduced to the basic concepts and research findings from GIS. |
