Abstract

: Based on the current educational situation of GIS application in Chinese universities, this paper proposes that the focus point of GIS teaching in landscape architecture field should be different from that of urban planning. Moreover, in this paper the teaching model of GIS course has been explored and the linkage between GIS and other landscape architecture courses has been offered. From the perspective of teaching practice, by introducing GIS into landscape architecture curriculum, it enriches the curriculum mode, and the students' rational thinking has been effectively shaped. The most important thing is that the GIS computerized quantitative analysis makes the landscape design more scientific, logical and efficient.
