ACADEMIC CONTENT
Overall objective

The course aims to give students the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies to collect, analyse and disseminate spatial data in both study and work contexts. This includes the ability to translate policy formulated visions to concrete operations. Students should be able to reflect critically to the use of spatial data analysis and their relevance to specific planning issues and problems.

ASSESSMENT
Overall learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Understand the principles behind the visualisation and representation of spatial data, and show knowledge of their basic spatial operations

  • Apply knowledge from the course to plan and perform spatial analysis, and to produce relevant visualizations

  • Use spatial analysis tools that include GIS in both study and work contexts

  • Make a critical assessment of the use of spatial technologies in relation to urban planning issues.

Form of examination
Individual written take-home assignment

The character limit of the assignment is: maximum 12,000 characters, including spaces.
The character limit includes the cover, table of contents, bibliography, figures and other illustrations, but exclude any appendices.

Examination and assessment criteria

The individual take-home exam will be based on the case of the semester and continue the work of the exercises in the course.

Assessment criteria

It will be assessed to which degree the student demonstrates:

• The ability to deconstruct solutions to spatial problems into relevant spatial operations based on the specified case

• The ability do perform and document relevant spatial operations

• The ability to make a critical assessment of the use of spatial technologies in relation to the specified case

• The ability design relevant visualizations the specified case and target audience

• The ability to use GIS to produce visualizations relevant the specified case and target audience

And whether the exam fulfills all formal requirements.
