The course will explore the fundamentals of GIS through the analysis of real, recent crime data, straight from the Greater Manchester Police. Attendees will gain a good overview of the fundamentals of Geographical Information Science, gain experience in the analysis and representation of both vector and raster datasets, and learn how to turn their datasets into map figures (e.g. for use in publication.)

The objectives of this course are to enable students to: gain familiarity with ArcGIS; understand the fundamental principles of GIS (e.g. coordinates, projection etc.); understand how to acquire datasets from a variety of sources, for use in GIS; understand how to handle and analyse both Raster and Vector datasets in GIS; understand the pros and cons of a variety of different types of map, and how to choose the most appropriate one to eliminate bias; understand how to use GIS data to produce map figures (e.g. for use in publication).
