This module is concerned with concepts, components, and functions of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Students will develop a critical understanding of spatial data, including methods for data capture and spatial analysis within a GIS environment. The module involves extensive practical experience of ESRI's ArcGIS, including the creation and editing of digital maps and the incorporation of third party sources of spatial data, followed by the subsequent use of these data for spatial analysis, modelling and decision support.
