After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

- formalise complex analytical tasks in the context of urban and regional planning,

- identify, collect and preprocess corresponding data,

- asses existing methods and tools according to their applicability

- apply adequate methods and tools in analytical context

- communicate results by means of appropriate methods

The course deals with methods and tools for geodata processing and visualization. A special focus is on QGIS - a meanwhile widely used OpenSource-GIS, which offers a wide range of possibilities, especially in visualization. The spectrum ranges from the representation of spatial relations in space to heat maps and moving animations.

Besides GIS, the course offers a basic introduction to the programming language "R", which is used for data preparation and some simple evaluations.

The course cooperates with aspern.mobil LAB and focuses on the interface between data - GIS - mobility - visualization. In the course of the mobility panel, the mobility behavior of the lakeside townspeople* was surveyed with a smartphone app. The resulting data sets - mostly anonymized GPS tracking data - are prepared for use in GI systems in the course of the course and are then analyzed and evaluated in group work with regard to questions to be developed by the students themselves.
