Geographic Information System (GIS) in the Built Environment

Take a closer look at geographic information systems, components, and benefits.

Designing and developing the built environment is a challenging task. Sustainability is a critical parameter in any development. Thus, urban planners, architects, valuers, and engineers need a robust tool to assist decision-making.

In this four-week course from Universiti Malaya, you’ll learn the basics of geographic information systems; its concept, how it works, and how GIS can utilize the disciplines in the built environment. By the end of this course, you’ll be ready to take the GIS technical course.

Develop your skill set

This course provides a basic understanding and is crucial to people who have yet to gain exposure to GIS applications. Therefore, understanding how GIS works will be your first skill set. Once you know and have ideas on applying GIS in your discipline, you should take yourself to the next level.
