課程目標及內涵 (Course Objectives and Contents) :
地理資訊系統及空間資訊分析是處理環境及生態空間分布資料及現象的工具，透過專業ArcGIS軟體主要的功能處理、儲存、分析、展示空間資料庫，讓使用者及研究者掌握複雜的環境及空間資訊。近年來由於環境生態問題受關注的程度提昇，同時對空間資訊的需求及應用 迅速增加，環境生態問題如污染、環境災害、自然資源管理、生態環境適宜性分析、光觀休閒旅遊等項目之規劃管理與決策，皆具有其不同的空間特性，對於研究者與決策者而言需要多元化空間資訊來支援。
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial information analysis are tools for handling environmental and ecological spatial distribution data and phenomena. Through the main functions of professional ArcGIS software, such as processing, storing, analyzing, and displaying spatial databases, users and researchers can grasp complex environmental and spatial information. In recent years, with the increasing attention to environmental ecological issues, the demand for and application of spatial information has rapidly increased. Environmental ecological issues such as pollution, environmental disasters, natural resource management, ecological suitability analysis, and scenic leisure tourism all have different spatial characteristics, requiring diverse spatial information to support researchers and decision-makers in planning, management, and decision-making.
