Course content
All aspects of modeling of the geografic phenomenon are based on the theoretical thesis and they are demonstrated with the help of real examples. The seminars are in the form of discusions, where the examples of modeling in GIS are discused. The lectures are as follows: Computer modeling, Models and Systems, Net analysis, Analysis of the point field, Regresion models, Deterministic models, Stochastic models, Models in the fyzical geography and models in socioekonomics geography.
