Development Of A Qgis Plugin To Dasymetric Mapping, Nelson Mileu, Margarida Queirós Jul 2018

Development Of A Qgis Plugin To Dasymetric Mapping, Nelson Mileu, Margarida Queirós

Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings

Demographic data is usually represented by choropleth map, where the statistical data is aggregated to areal units. This type of representation has several limitations associated with spatial analysis and distribution. A common alternative to display statistical data in meaningful spatial zones is the dasymetric mapping technique. Though dasymetric mapping has existed for many decades, the open source GIS tools to explore dasymetric mapping methods are scarce. In this paper, a Geographical Information System (GIS) open source application was developed in QGIS software that applies the dasymetric mapping method to the Portuguese Guimarães municipality 2011 Census block-group populations and using Corine …


Geosocial Big Data Analysis Using Python And Foss4g With The Case Study Of Korean Data, Ilyoung Hong Feb 2018

Geosocial Big Data Analysis Using Python And Foss4g With The Case Study Of Korean Data, Ilyoung Hong

Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings

Nowadays, there are many researches on the analysis of Geosocial big data, such as geotweeet and as foursquare venues and OSS(Open Source Software) has an important role on this. In the analyzing geosocial big data, there are several different steps such as data collection, data parsing, data conversion, statistical analysis, visualizing and database management. So, the integrated system architecture and the compatible analysis environment has a key role to acquire the relevant analysis results. The Python programming support the interoperable analysis environment for the various and different software functions and enable to process for geosocial big data in the integrated …
