Features: This tutorial consists of a series of exercises that enable learners to progressively master the basic functions of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly the general spatial analysis functions. The content includes: spatial and attribute information querying, thematic map display, data input, map output, proximity analysis, overlay analysis, network analysis, cost-based spatial distance calculation, and the application of Triangulated Irregular Networks (TIN), covering vector, raster, and TIN data models. Finally, comprehensive analysis is used to help learners deepen their understanding. All exercises are implemented using ESRI's software products ArcView GIS 3.x and its extension modules, accompanied by specially designed exercise data, small applications, and a text. This tutorial is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in majors such as GIS, urban planning, human geography, surveying engineering, urban construction, municipal engineering, and transportation, as well as for technicians, managers, and researchers in related fields for self-study or on-the-job training.
