"The course builds an understanding on the fundamentals of scientific research on the use of GIS in human geography. Study objectives include the integration of natural science and information technology competence, and the generation of scientific and practical comprehension of the use of GIS in the research of human geography sub-disciplines. In order to successfully complete the course, student must submit and pass all practical assignments and the final exam. The course aims at providing students with basic understanding of the use of GIS in scientific research in human geography. The objectives of course are to (1) facilitate the integration of natural science and information technology competence; (2) generate scientific and practical comprehension about the use of GIS in the research of human geography and its sub-disciplines Language of instruction: Latvian and English\r\nCourse responsible lecturer\tZaiga Krišjāne\r\nResults\tKnowledge 1. to understand the possibilities of the use of GIS-based software in relation to human geography research (e.g. data collecting, variability of GIS methods and their limitations). Skills 2. to use GIS in the main sub-disciplines of human geography by collecting and editing necessary and most suitable spatial and statistical data; choosing methods that are the most compatible and appropriate in order to efficiently analyse and interpret research results. Competences 3. to identify the necessary data, their acquisition possibilities and compatibility with chosen research methods, and to use in research work 4. to analyse and interpret research results obtained from their chosen data and methods." . .
