This academic discipline is devoted to studying the essence of spatial analysis methods, their classification, features and directions of their application in socio-geographical research. The discipline is aimed at developing skills in the practical application of classical and modern methods of spatial analysis in solving scientific, theoretical and applied problems in the field of social geography and their consolidation in the study of socio-spatial structures and processes on the example of cities and regions of Ukraine. The discipline is designed to develop in students critical thinking, the ability to search, systematize, process and analyze information from various sources, formulate research tasks and solve them using spatial analysis methods.
