Full description:	The main purpose of the course is to learn the theoretical and practical skills of using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in spatial analysis of social phenomena and research. Participants will learn about the functionality of GIS as a tool for analysis and modeling of complex spatial relationships of the studied issues. The use of various spatial data models (vector and raster) and their integration as well as for the production, acquisition, editing and visualization of data will be considered. Spatial data infrastructure, spatial and attribute data, acquisition and ordering. Spatial analysis. Analysis of socio-economic data. Visualization of socio-economic data.
