QGIS and Applications in Territorial Planning

About this book

These four volumes present innovative thematic applications implemented using the open source software QGIS. These are applications that use remote sensing over continental surfaces. The volumes detail applications of remote sensing over continental surfaces, with a first one discussing applications for agriculture. A second one presents applications for forest, a third presents applications for the continental hydrology, and finally the last volume details applications for environment and risk issues.

Design and Implementation of Automated Atlas

1.1. From map to atlas

Given the multiplication of spatial data, automated workflows are becoming important in GIS environments (graphical modeler, programming). Beyond data processing (geometry, topology, attributes, analysis), automation can also be used for symbology or layout to facilitate map design and publication.
If your organization publishes printed or online maps, you often would need to create many maps with the same template – usually one for each administrative unit or region. With the evolution of print composers, GIS software offer more and more layout features, notably for the creation of atlases enabling the compilation of ordered maps and information in the template. Unlike isolated maps, the atlas provides readers with a more in-depth representation of the spaces and themes addressed by combining maps at different scales and graphic or text elements.
The automation of maps and indicators in the form of standardized templates allows both time saving for the production of maps but also a greater graphical consistency of the maps by the homogenization of the layout. This dimension is particularly interesting for the setting up of a graphic charter in the publishing of cartographic documents. This chapter proposes to explore several methods and tools to produce new indicators and to implement a homogeneous, original and stylized cartographic atlas with the QGIS software.

1.2. Automation of maps and indicators

The objective of this chapter is to automate with QGIS the production of an atlas, combining maps and indicators, of the Corsica local region. By using different datasets at the municipal level (population census, agricultural census) and by using several spatial analysis tools, the idea is to initially calculate several key indicators aiming at characterizing these new territories. The combination of...
