dc.description.abstract |
The goal of the present Master’s Thesis is to develop a learning tutorial for Lisboa
Quantum GIS v.1.8.0 Geographic Information System. The resulting document is
intended as a learning tool.
This document should be useful to those people who wish to acquire basic skills in the
use of Quantum GIS and, at the same time, should provide the user with a picture
of what Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are.
The skills that this tutorial aims to teach are how to locate and download useful
information to work with GIS, to create vectorial Shape files and work with them,
manage, make queries, and select tabulated and graphic information, as well as to
represent graphically the results through the creation of maps.
The document will make use of real data downloaded from different sources, with the
intention of doing the proper operations to simulate a real making-decision process
as its leading topic. The subject chosen is related to the optimal location to set air
bases (heliports) within Catalonia to fight forest fires in protected areas of Natura
Network. |
