Training objectives

Acquire the theoretical and practical bases related to GIS (geographic information system)

Introduce yourself to the use of QGIS software to consult, analyze geographic data and represent it in the form of maps

Be able to formalize a problem in GIS language

Training program

• 1st day
  • - Theoretical introduction to GIS and the types of data used in GIS software. Application on QGIS: display of vector and raster layers, exploration of layer properties and attribute tables.
  • Overview of coordinate systems and management of this information in QGIS (by layer, by project, on-the-fly projection).
  • Presentation of the QGIS extension system and example of use from “Openlayers plugin”.
  • Theoretical notions of graphic semiotics and application in QGIS: choice of vector and raster data representation, map layout.
• 2nd day
  • Continuation and end of map layout in QGIS.
  • Point on the notion of metadata.
  • Georeferencing scanned maps in QGIS.
  • Creation of point vector layers from a list of coordinates.
  • Creation of vector layers by digitizing the base map: presentation of the QGIS input tools.
  • Presentation of selection and join processing then application with QGIS.
  • Theoretical course on spatial analysis applied to vector and raster data then put into practice in QGIS through exercises.
