According to the demand of social and economic practice and theoretical work for regional economics talents, this major trains senior professionals with regional economics professional characteristics, solid professional knowledge and skills, strong comprehensive analysis ability and application development ability to meet the requirements of comprehensive management departments, planning departments, teaching and research units, enterprises and institutions. On the basis of integrating theory with practice for many years, this major has formed an academic echelon with reasonable knowledge structure, age structure and academic marginal structure, correct academic thinking and active teaching and research, and four stable research directions with obvious characteristics and advantages. The research on economic growth, urban and rural economic development, regional tourism development and regional economic cooperation in underdeveloped areas is at the leading level.
Curriculum and teaching theory (direction of geography teaching theory)
The theory of geography teaching is guided by modern educational science and geography science theory, which studies the theories and methods of geography education and cultivates high-level talents with modern geography education theory and practical skills and engaged in geography education, management and research.
physical geography
Physical geography is a traditional and innovative subject in geography. This major is mainly based on Yunnan's unique and diverse natural geographical conditions, actively participates in the development of the western region, and cultivates senior talents with systematic theoretical basis and related knowledge of natural geography, skilled in applying remote sensing and geographic information system technology, and skilled in using the theories and methods of man-land relationship and sustainable development for research and application. The authorized point of Master of Physical Geography has good academic group advantages, rich academic achievements, keen academic thinking and high academic attainments, and has good cooperative relations with many universities and scientific research institutions at home and abroad.
human geography
Human geography mainly cultivates high-level talents with solid professional knowledge of human geography, skilled application of remote sensing and geographic information system technology, and deep attainments in regional tourism planning and management, regional economic management, population and ethnic geography research, and regional human resources development and management. The master program of "Human Geography" has a good academic group advantage, and all tutors have rich academic achievements and profound academic attainments, and have rich teaching and organizing abilities on major topics, and have established good cooperative relations with universities and academic institutions such as the United States and Australia.
Cartography and Geographic Information System
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer information system that collects, stores, manages, describes and analyzes data related to the expression of the earth's surface and geographical distribution. Global Positioning System (GPS) and Remote Sensing (RS), as multi-scale and multi-dimensional spatial data sources of GIS, provide impetus for the application of GIS technology. With the development of modern information science, based on GIS, RS and GPS, combined with computer and other related information technologies, a new geo-information science has gradually formed. The development of this technology makes modern information technology provide qualitative, quantitative and positioning comprehensive information technology support for government decision-making and office automation, and makes it widely used in cities, regions, resources, environment, transportation, population, land, infrastructure and planning management. This subject is mainly to carry out basic or applied research on natural resources, environment and social economy, develop GIS software for basic or related industries, and train senior professionals in spatial information technology.
Cartography and Geographic Information Engineering
Cartography and geographic information engineering, as comprehensive frontier disciplines and technologies formed by combining surveying and mapping science with geographic science, computer science, information science, intelligence and cognitive science, are widely used in various sectors of the national economy (agriculture, forestry, geology, metallurgy, water conservancy, transportation, environment, ocean, navigation, public security, administration, municipal management, urban planning and management, etc.). The research, development and establishment of geographic information systems at all levels and departments have produced great social and economic benefits. Geographic information engineering majors mainly train graduate students to apply spatial database technology, GIS software engineering principles, component GIS technology, WebGIS technology, 3D GIS technology, remote sensing technology and GPS technology. , and combined with industry rules and knowledge to develop various space business operation management information systems. The graduate student got a master's degree in engineering.
tourism management
The discipline of tourism management tracks the trends and application frontiers of tourism research at home and abroad, relies on Yunnan to build a tourism pillar industry and a strong tourism economy, makes full use of multidisciplinary comprehensive methods and modern science and technology (such as GIS) to study the planning, economic management, sustainable development, protection and management of tourism resources and environment, and strives to cultivate theories, methods and skills with modern management, economics, tourism, regional planning, tourism planning and other disciplines.
