Course content
Spatial analyses: definition, history, aims. Data used for spatial analyses. Digital terrain modelling. Types of used methods for spatial analyses. Analyses in time ans space. Spatial statistics. Utilization of each particular type of spatial data. Global Positioning Systems

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Skills training
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with the complex regional space analyses using analytical and synthetic functions of geographical information systems.
Students will be familiar with remote sensing and digital image processing. Students will be able to apply selected technology in practice.
Prerequisites
Are expected basic knowlege of geographic information system.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Attendance at seminars is compulsory (75 % at minimum). The assignment is granted upon submisson of all tasks and elaboration of the seminar project. The examination consists of oral part. The level of knowledge is examined as well as the student ability to apply acquired knowledge on practical problem solving by defending the seminar project.
