Geographical Information Systems 2

In the first part of the course (Geographical Information Systems - Part 1), you explored the basics of land digitization and geodata storage. In particular, you learned how to:

• Characterize spatial objects and phenomena (spatial modeling) from the point of view of their positioning in space (coordinate systems and projections, spatial relationships) and according to their intrinsic nature (object or vector mode vs. image or raster mode);
• Use various data acquisition methods (direct measurement, georeferencing of images, digitization, existing data source, etc.);
• Use various geodata storage methods (simple files and relational databases);
• Use data modeling tools to describe and implement a database;
• Create queries in a query language and data manipulation.

The second part of the course deals with spatial analysis methods and georeferenced information representation techniques. In particular, you will learn how to:

• Analyze the spatial properties of discrete variables, for e
