This course introduces planners to GIS mapping. It is designed for novice users to help them produce maps and analyses to industry standard that can be used in other CAD software or typical reports. Participants gain an understanding of core concepts so they can produce digital maps in their daily work.
Much of the course is devoted to hands-on application using real information and examples from planning cases. At the end of the day, participants will be able to find data, including aerial photographs and census, and use it to produce basic maps for planning applications such as strategic plans, community analysis, transport planning and much more.
Designed for
- Strategic and economic planners that conduct local, regional and state-wide analyses.
- Statutory and environmental planners in the private and public sector that assess significant residential and commercial planning applications.
- Planners serving as expert witnesses in contentious cases.
- Social and community planners, as the tools and datasets used have direct relation to demographics and relevant analyses.
- Urban and rural planners interested in developing transport planning related analysis.
Learning outcomes
Learn the core concepts of GIS and develop skills that can be applied to any mapping software.
Produce basic GIS maps to industry standard.
Install and use QGIS, an open source GIS software (participants can learn also in their own company software such as ESRI ArcGIS or Mapinfo).
