Spatial work in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be broadly categorized into two main types: analysis and visualization. Analysis involves computational techniques that help computers process and interpret spatial data, while visualization focuses on making this data comprehensible to people. Most GIS projects incorporate a mix of these two aspects to leverage the strengths of both. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these concepts, making it accessible even to those new to GIS. After completing this resource, learners will be able to: Understand a variety of spatial methods: Learners will gain familiarity with different techniques used in GIS, their purposes, and their applications. Apply spatial methods in their research and analysis: Learners will be equipped to use these methods effectively in their projects to gain insights and solve spatial problems.
