Course information

GEOGRAPHY AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS ‘Geography and Spatial Analysis’ course examines issues that are included in the complex and wide range of modern Human Geography agenda. Characteristic examples are the concentration / dispersion of the population, the spatial patterns followed by economic activities (production and services), the spatial dimensions of social and technical infrastructures. In the course, the students deal with a field that is constantly expanding and is of key importance for the modern Surveying & Geoinformatics Engineer. It has now been linked both to the recognition of spatial phenomena and to the planning of spatial interventions (urban, regional, environmental planning). The aim of this course is therefore, to understand the importance of geographical space in the development of modern societies. More specifically, the recognition of the importance of the ""geographic-spatial approach"" which highlights the interdependencies between WHERE, HOW, WHEN and WHY. Based on the above, students become familiar with the methodologies, methods and techniques of spatial analysis aiming at the interpretation of the spatial patterns and processes that shape the structures and actions of everyday life. To consolidate the geographic-spatial approach in the context of the course, the students implement a project consisting of modular exercises.
