Summary

This course teaches how to effectively utilize the Geographic Information System (GIS) in social science research with practice. It explains how to convert Excel data into vector data using QGIS software, produce a map with regional variables, and convert it into numerical geographic data using raster data. In addition, we will practice research methods that combine unstructured data, big data, and deep learning techniques to reflect the latest research trends. It will serve as an opportunity for students to learn how to process and produce various spatial data, apply it to research, and ultimately grow into empirical researchers.
