授業の目的　【日本語】
Goals of the Course(JPN)

このコースでは、地域開発における重要なトピックと研究方法を紹介します。このコースは、最新の空間データサイエンスのフレームワークに基づいており、地理的思考、空間依存、地域の不平等、リモートセンシング、空間クラスター、空間の不均一性などの重要なトピックを紹介します。このコースでは主に、科学計算と再現性のある研究のためのプログラミング言語としてPythonを使用しています。

授業の目的　【英語】
Goals of the Course

This course provides an introduction to key topics and research methods in regional development. The course is based on a modern spatial data science framework and introduces key topics such as geographic thinking, spatial dependence, regional inequality, remote sensing, spatial clusters, and spatial heterogeneity. The course mostly uses Python as a programing language for scientific computing and reproducible research.
