Description

Mastering QGIS Desktop 3.34.x LTR provides an introduction to using QGIS, a powerful open-source software 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 as downloading and installing QGIS software, understanding spatial data types, coordinate systems, and map projections. The training covers the QGIS interface, including how to navigate the map canvas, use toolbars, and manage layers. Students are introduced to working with vector and raster data, including importing, visualizing, and performing basic data manipulation. And also how to georeferencing raster data and digitize feature on itHands-on exercises guide participants through creating and editing shapefiles, applying symbology to represent data meaningfully, and using attribute tables for data analysis. 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 QGIS basics, 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.
