課程簡述 # This course will focus on introducing students how they can apply geographic information system (GIS) technology to analyze target issues, such as problems related to natural resource management. Topics covered include introduction to operate GIS software (e.g., QGIS), identifying and understanding "big data" or "cloud datasets" with spatial information, the formulation of the analyzing framework, GIS application for solving the problems, and also other toolkits such as Google Earth, MS Excel, MS Access (data management) may be introduced and used to aim the analysis.

# Parts of this course will require to hand-on practices using computers. Thus, students are expected to bring their own laptops to the classroom. Also, the operating software will function better under Window operating system. Using a laptop with window operating system is highly recommended.

For general outcomes, students are expected to
learn :
(1) Identify data needs relating to target issues and appropriate processing framework in the context of a GIS project.
(2) Formulate and assess spatial models and their applicability for solving problems.
(3) Design maps based on cartographic principles as a form of visual communication.
(4) Develop a reasonable executing plan and timelines to lead to the desired project outcome.
(5) Represent the recognition regarding the responsibility of adhering to ethical standards in decision‐making on behalf of clients and the public.
(6) Interpret the analyzing findings and deliver a technical report outlining problems and suggesting potential solutions.
For specific outcomes, students are expected to write up and present a project proposal as the final project in the context of GIS and/or spatial analysis as a professional practicum.
