Description

Mastering ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.2 provides an introduction to using ArcGIS Suite App (ArcCatalog and ArcMap), a leading GIS software in the world for spatial data analysis and mapping. This training is designed for beginners who want to develop skills in GIS, with no prior experience required.Participants learn the fundamental concepts of GIS, such what is GIS, definition of GIS, GIS data type, map projections. The training covers the ArcCatalog and ArcMap interface, including how to navigate the data view, layout view, use toolbars, and manage layers. Students are introduced to working with vector and raster data, including importing, visualizing, and performing basic data manipulation. Also how to georeferencing raster data.Hands-on exercises guide participants through creating and editing shapefiles, applying symbology to represent data meaningfully, and using attribute tables for data analysis, also creating thematic and choropleth map. Participants will gain practical experience in creating a layout map by adding legends, scale bars, and exporting the final product for printing or sharing it with JPG or PDF format.By the end of the training, participants will have a solid understanding of ArcGIS Suite App (ArcCatalog and ArcMap) , enabling them to perform simple spatial analysis tasks and create professional-looking maps. This foundational knowledge sets the stage for more advanced GIS techniques and applications.
