6 Next steps

6.1 Learning Objectives:

Aim: Introduce SSPA students to principal vector and raster GIS skills that will be used in the subsequent practicals and assessment

Learning objectives:

  • Process key GIS data types; vector and raster.

  • Carry out common vector geoprocessing tasks such as joining, selection, buffering and point in polygon operations.

  • Carry out a raster processing activity.

  • Visualise transport flows as part of an accessibility analysis.

  • Understand that more complex GIS operations can be achieved in QGIS by using “plug-ins”.

  • Be aware of a range openly available spatial data available to and useful to sustainable transport planning.
