Applied GIS: Using your knowledge (Geography 471): In this course we examine the application of GIScience in both the social and physical sciences, and explore the overlap in methodologies. This is achieved by specific investigations in: • GIS and crime analysis
Topics that are covered include: point pattern “hot spot” analysis, the use of census data, scale and hierarchy theory, understanding landscape metrics, linking remote sensing and GIS, spatial clustering of events, case/control issues, Bayesian methods. Issues such as scale, data quality and confidentiality will be highlighted. This course will be important to those with an interest in GIScience and spatial analysis, and to students and researchers in fields where space is considered an important explanatory element, including landscape ecology, conservation biology, forestry, geography, health, archaeology, planning and criminology.
