Basic to Intermediate Course in QGIS

(Quantum Geographic Information System)

By Mr Bala Subramaniyam

Introduction

QGIS is an extremely essential tool with application in almost every field.

It functions as geographic information system (GIS) software, allowing users to analyze and edit spatial information, in addition to composing and exporting graphical maps

Examples where QGIS is used

  • Facilities Management (for location of underground pipelines, telecommunication network, energy use tracking & planning) 

  • Environment & Natural Resource Management

  • Environmental impact assessment

  • Disaster Management & mitigation

  • Agricultural sector (Crop monitoring, cropping pattern) 

  • Conservationist (wildlife conservation and archaeological conservation- National & heritage Monuments) 

  • Waste Management (waste site location) 

  • Street Network (car navigation, locating houses & street & transportation planning) 

  • Civil Engineering (Planning & Engineering- Urban planning, regional planning, highway construction, development of public facilities) 

  • Land information system (cadaster administration, taxation, zoning of land use, land acquisition) 

  • Geology- soil strata, mountain study, area study, mineral extraction

  • Hydrology- Dam construction, drainage system study

  • Forestry- Mapping of deforestation & Management

  • People in cartography

  • Military use- Base map, topography study

  • Road diversion, railway system monitoring

  • Land use planning- Hospital & other constructive planning department

  • Pharmaceutical industry

  • Meteorological department

  • Computer Science

  • Socio economic study (population density study construction of retail shops)
