Spatial Science is an academic discipline incorporating fields such as surveying, geographic information systems, hydrography and cartography. Spatial science is typically concerned with the measurement, management, analysis and display of spatial information describing the Earth, its physical features and the built environment.〔(Queensland University of Technology, ''Undergratuate Program - Spatial Science (Surveying)'' )〕 The term ''spatial science'' is primarily used in Australia. Australian universities which offer degrees in spatial science include Curtin University,〔(Curtin University - Spatial science courses )〕 the University of Tasmania,〔(University of Tasmania, Centre for Spatial Information Science, ''Courses'' )〕 the University of Adelaide〔(University of Adelaide, Major in Ecology and Spatial Science )〕 and Melbourne University.〔(Melbourne University - Spatial Information Science )〕 Texas A&M University offers a bachelor's degree in Spatial Sciences and is home to its own Spatial Sciences Laboratory.〔(Texas A&M University, Spatial Sciences Laboratory )〕 Beginning in 2012, the University of Southern California started to place more emphasis on the spatial science branch of its geography department, with traditional human and physical geography courses and concentrations either not being offered on a regular basis or phased out. In place, the university now offers graduate programs strictly related to spatial science and its geography department offers a spatial science minor rather than the original geography major.〔()〕 Spatial information practitioners within the Asia-Pacific region are represented by the professional body called the Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI). ==External links== *(Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute (SSSI) ) *(International Cartographic Association (ICA) ) the world body for mapping and GIScience professionals 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「spatial science」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
