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.
