This is achieved by specific investigations in: 

• GIS and  crime analysis 
• GIS and landscape ecology 
    • GIS and health geography 

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, and spatial clustering of events. 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.
