In order to identify ongoing developments and future needs, planners need tools to analyze existing data. These analyses provide an input for the identification of development strategies and a basis for decision making. While technology improves, new applications for GIS and other analytical tools evolve. As a planner you need to have knowledge on what opportunities these tools to collect (geographical) information can offer and how they can provide an input in planning practice and research.
After completing the course, students should be able to
- to apply the basic functions in different tools for spatial (quantitative) and statistic analysis;
- to design and implement an analysis of a practical planning problem using e.g. GIS or statistical tools
- to present the outcome of different types of analyses making effectively use of different visualisation techniques
- reflect critically on the strengths and limitations of different methods of spatial and statistic analysis in planning practice
