INTRODUCTION

Quantum GIS (QGIS) is an open source geographic information system that allows users to analyze and edit spatial information, in addition to composing and exporting graphical maps. They capture, store, check, and display data with respect to specific locations on the Earth’s surface. GIS technology can be used to show many types of geographical data on the map in order to enable people observe, analyze, and understand various patterns as well as their relationships. With this training, both non-GIS and GIS experts will comprehend the immense applicability of GIS technologies in daily life.

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive Certificate of Participation.
