Week 6 - Spatial analysis II
This week, we will continue our journey through some advanced GIS analysis tools, this time with a focus on the spatial distribution of data and on calculating distances. We will also continue to practice many of the tools you have learned from previous weeks - there is rarely a GIS question that can be solved using only one tool!
ILOs covered
Obtain and assess the quality of spatial data from online and offline sources and produce new spatial data using computer and field methods;
Plan and execute GIS analytical steps to solve spatial problems successfully;
What will you learn
For every week, we will list the main theoretical and practical learning goals. Use these as a ‘checklist’ to gauge your learning for each week. If you don’t feel confident you have learned any specific topic, then revisit the week’s material!

- WFS layers
- Importing non-spatial tables
- Table Joins
