dep. of geographical information science-手机版亚博

geographical information science is the emerging discipline   combining geographical science , surveying and mapping, remote   sensing, spatial science, environmental science, computer and   network science, etc together, which has gone deep into almost all   realms of social and economic life.

the   department of geographical information science was founded in 2005,   which has the undergraduate major of geographical information   science, two masters’ degree authorization points of mapping and   geographical information system and regional economics. there are   more than 170 students in this department at present while there are   11 faculty members in the department, including 3 professors, 2   associate professors, 4 lecturers and 2 teaching assistants.

student of   this department are cultivated to have the fundamental theories and   knowledge and application skills of gis, remote sensing, surveying   and mapping and cartography. graduates of this department have a   wider choice for jobs and can do geo-information relevant   management, application, research and development work in urban   construction, land, environment, traffic, population, statistics,   government, military, trade departments, state oriented enterprises,   it corporations, information centers and research institutions

the   department of geographical information science gives full play to   the integration and comprehension among different disciplines. the   main disciplinary directions are basic theory research and   application on the core of cartography, remote sensing and surveying   and mapping, etc, and gis application on the core of spatial data   processing, secondary development and gis designing, etc. the   research fields are land resources, electric power, ecology,   environment and urban-rural planning, etc. the research areas are   more broaden from home to abroad. especially, the researches based   on the situation of yunnan province extended themselves to the whole   southeast asian countries, and formed the regional features and   specialized characteristics, which laid the solid foundation for the   double first-rate specialty construction.

undergraduate major of geographical information system:

this major   cultivates students with basic theory, fundamental knowledge and   basic skills who can engage in scientific researches and teaching in   research institutions and universities. graduating students can   manage to do gis related application research, technology   development, production management and administrative management in   the fields of urban planning, regional planning, natural resources,   environment, traffic, population, housing, land resources,   infrastructures and planning management, etc. students of this major   are required to obtain fundamental theory and basic knowledge of   gis, cartography, remote sensing and computer science, etc.   graduates of this department have a wider choice for jobs and can do   geo-information relevant management, application, research and   development work in urban construction, land, environment, traffic,   population, statistics, government, military, trade departments,   state oriented enterprises, it corporations, information centers and   research institutions. in recent three years, graduating students   succeeded in matriculation to masters in the chinese academy of   science, tsinghua university, peking university, wuhan university,   chinese eastern normal university, nanjing university, nanjing   normal university and yunnan university, etc. the graduate   employment rate in recent years kept stably more than 95% while the   rate of postgraduate entrance examination reached or exceeded 40%.

masters’   degree on cartography and gis:

the main   research directions are method and application of remote sensing,   mountain ecosystem information system, metallogenic prognosis with   gis and integrated information, digital region and digital city   spatial information system and spatial data mining, etc.

masters’   degree on regional economics:

the main   research directions are geo-economy and international regional   economic cooperation, regional multiculturalism and diversified   economy, montanic economy and rural development, regional tourism   development and planning, enterprise location selection and regional   market, and regional population, resources, environment and   sustainable development, etc. the cultivation of postgraduates is   combined with the scientific research tasks, which shows the   emphasis on cultivating students to be capable of doing scientific   researches independently.
