This lecture introduces the concept of land modeling, focusing on numeric representation techniques such as coordinates, projection systems, spatial relations, and topology. It covers data acquisition, georeferencing, and analysis, emphasizing the importance of understanding land modeling for spatial analysis and representation. The lecture also explores geographic space and territory, discussing the definitions and boundaries of these concepts. Additionally, it delves into the distinction between discrete and continuous spatial phenomena in land modeling, highlighting the different approaches used to represent them.
