Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the module is to present qualitative and quantitative methods for the analysis of environmental data, especially cartographic data using the GIS software. The student learns: sign method, range method, dot method, cartogram, cartodiagram, and isarithmic method. During laboratory exercises, he/she learns the critical method choice depending on the type of data, the choice of the appropriate classifier depending on the statistical distribution of data and presentation of the results in the form of a thematic map. He/she recognizes spatial relations between objects and phenomena and defines statistical relations between data.
