Course Objectives		1. Examining the theoretical infrastructure of GIS analysis 2. Examining the use cases and feasibilities of GIS analysis 3. Implementing GIS analysis. 4. Presenting the results of GIS analysis via maps by considering cartographic design principles
Course Description		Building GIS databases is the main achievement of GIS implementation. However, the valuable results of the GIS implementation are obtained after executing proper spatial analysis by using the spatial data stored in well designed GIS databases. This course includes GIS analysis (in theory and practice) used for determining and mapping position, amount of distribution, change and relations of spatial phenomenon.
Course Outcomes		M.Sc. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects; 1. Understanding spatial perception 2. Comprehending and implementing spatial analyses in Geomatics Engineering, evaluating existing analyzing methods and developing new methods 3. Determining and using proper spatial analysis methods for different purposes 4. Mapping the results of spatial analyses by considering cartographic design and presentation criteria. 5. Understanding the contribution of the spatial analyses on solving spatial problems and decision making mechanisms.
