Further Grading Information:
After students have attended the course, they
- master basic functions of GIS,
- may support projects of urban development with GIS techniques from the beginning of data acquisition, processing, analysing and visualization
- have the ability to weigh up different solutions, to explain them objectively and understandably, to make and justify decisions,
- can also use GIS for more advanced tasks in urban development and planning such as spatial analysis, catchment area analysis, network analysis, overlaying, etc
