This textbook introduces QGIS software and shows how to use it step-by-step
using many illustrations. Some topics can be understood by viewing a figure,
without the need to read texts. The purposes, functions, and potential
applications of the software are also explained. The book is a good first step
to understand the theories on GIS through practice. With the increasing use of
GIS (geographic information systems/science) in the arenas of education and
research, the need for this book is becoming apparent. Students and researchers
in various disciplines have noted that GIS is a powerful tool for acquiring,
exploring, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data for their work. Some of
their data come from geospace in the form of coordinates; of course, we are
living in a world with coordinates. Wherever we move, whatever we do, we can be
located by coordinates, as everything is at rest, moving, or happening in space.
Although GIS has been used for a long time in many professional fields, such as
land surveying, urban and regional development, transportation planning,
hydrology, environmental management, and so on, the use of GIS by the public is
fairly recent. Following the emergence of global positioning systems, wireless
communication technologies, and nano-scale microchip technologies, GIS is now a
commonplace. Together with advanced technologies and user-friendly software
development, the use of GIS has moved from desktop to laptop to mobile devices,
and from professionals to academics to the public. Moreover, QGIS is
increasingly used by students, researchers, and professionals on a daily basis
due to its free and open-source geographic information system, community-based
software development, user-friendliness, and the many plugins that are available
to enhance the capabilities of this software.
