This course provides an introduction to a number of spatial analytic methods, theories and techniques used in the social sciences. The course focuses specifically on the ‘geography of crime’ and the ‘geography of health’ and looks at ways in which GIS has been used to bolster private and public decision-making in these fields. A variety of software packages are introduced and used to explore different elements of spatial analysis as well as highlight a number of problems inherent when dealing with spatial data such as the ecological fallacy and modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP).
