Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a useful tool for multiple disciplines and user groups. In urban development and planning, different constituencies like local authorities interact through GIS e.g. applying it in environmental agencies, transportation, energy, resource and waste management, retail, disaster management, and socio-economics. Collecting, managing, analysing and visualising data with GIS as an information sharing tool can help in different stages of planning processes – from identifying problems to evaluating different planning proposals. Working with GIS allows to create easy understandable maps and to enable communication processes.
This course introduces different spatial analysis of Vector and Raster data based on ESRI ArcGIS Toolbox tools. For developing a complex process through different tools, ModelBuilder will be applied to connect different tools and automates workflow based on different variables and parameter. The participants will be introduced to ModelBuilder interface, proprieties and how to create, run and edit the Model. Various spatial analysis qualifications will be gained such as where to allocate each use/service based on pre-identified criteria.
Basic knowledge of ArcGIS is required for the course such as create, edit and deal with Geodatabases, feature dataset, feature classes, data selection and visualization.
The course will be assessed based on assignment and final project where participants create their own models and present it. This will be based on an excursion to Chemnitz in the second half of the semester where participants will apply their mapping capacities in GIS in the context of a pedestrian analysis. |
