Course Goal

The aim of this course is to define the data formats that will be needed within the scope of GIS, to transfer each data type from the correct source to the GIS environment with the correct techniques, to standardize the data in the GIS environment and to convert it into other formats, and also to demonstrate them through the applicable examples.

Course Content

The structure, properties, differences, advantages and disadvantages, usage content for different application areas, and also transformation to each other of data types used in GIS.

Course Precondition

None

Resources

Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing
