Learning QGIS Visualization with 7 Thematic Maps 🗺️
Let's visualize your own thematic maps using QGIS, a free open-source GIS software, and public data!
A gourmet map to find great restaurants? Navigation to find your way? A travel recommendation map for searching destinations?
From the world map that hung on a bedroom wall in our childhood to the various maps in our hands today, all kinds of maps are closely intertwined with our lives.
In an era where information is overflowing like a flood,
it is now time for us to create our own maps.
This course aims to explain exactly how to do that💡
Starting with a brief introduction to GIS and the course,
The lecture is composed of a total of three sessions.
First, we will learn the basics of QGIS visualization in Section 1.
We will practice visualization methods to set the size, color, shape, and labeling as desired
using public data in vector format.
And, through Section 2, you will learn
Layout, a useful visualization feature of QGIS. In Layout, you can create a finished layout format by adding a title, scale, orientation, legend, and images to the map you created
, and even learn how to
save it as a template.
In Section 3's practical examples, we will use Seoul public data to create the
following 7 types of thematic maps.dưới đây.
Each thematic map is designed to utilize everything you have learned about QGIS visualization and layout.
All materials and thematic map templates used in the lecture are organized neatly and provided all at once.
Skip the complicated data downloads and enjoy an environment where you can focus entirely on the lecture.
Map visualization is one of the basic functions of GIS.
If you are a student currently learning GIS,
learning visualization methods will help you become familiar with GIS and its functions more quickly.
Researchers who utilize professional data
must visualize their own results into stunning maps.
By creating thematic maps using various Seoul public data,
you will gain the experience of creating maps with your own data..
Thematic maps created with GIS are
used in countless tasks, such as proposals, reports, and presentation materials.
The ability to create stunning maps will enhance your work performance and
help you become an indispensable and competent person one step faster.
Q&A 💬
Q. Is it okay if I have no prior experience using QGIS?
Since this course focuses on QGIS visualization, many explanations regarding the use of QGIS analysis functions or basic concepts and applications are omitted. However, if your focus is on visualization, you can fully take this course without any prior knowledge of these functions.
You don't need to worry, as I will cover the basic functions necessary for visualization, such as installing QGIS, adding layers for the files you want to visualize, joining tables, and rewriting fields. 😊
Q. Will I be able to draw maps like the ones I have in mind (or have seen)?
I believe that as many different maps can be drawn as there are data points in the world. Since this course focuses on the visualization of public data, specifically vector-type data, the content of this course may not be sufficient if you are looking to create maps based on raster data.
However, since it covers most visualization methods for vector data and includes explanations on layout composition, I expect you will be able to create the maps you want as long as you have usable data.
Additionally, we are planning to open courses such as Raster Data Visualization and Advanced Visualization in the future, so please look forward to those upcoming lectures as well. 👍
Q. I need to perform repetitive visualizations. Is there any content in the lecture that would be helpful?
Yes, the QGIS layout functionality covered in Section 2 is highly efficient for repetitive tasks. By creating a template in advance and simply changing the map type, title, and other elements, you can easily produce a large volume of maps under a unified format. 🎉

Thank you for even explaining the typeset features!!
After taking the QGIS Beginner All-in-One Starter Pack (Theory/Practical), I liked it so much that I decided to enroll in this course as well. Compared to the All-in-One course, there is some overlap in the background knowledge needed for the course (GIS concepts) and basic vector data handling (layer joins). However, it was useful to be able to learn new content by going deeper into vector visualization. Additionally, learning the layout function using composition was the second biggest takeaway. So even though there was some overlap with the All-in-One content, it made sense as background knowledge for people taking only this course, and the new content specific to this course - advanced vector visualization and layout composition functions - was useful. The teaching method doesn't just stop at explaining concepts, but includes hands-on practice throughout and ends with practical examples, spending plenty of time to ensure I could fully understand and make it my own.
The explanations of various visualization techniques using data and the hands-on practice were great. I wasn't aware of the typesetting feature, but I think I'll be able to make good use of it. Thank you.
Detailed explanation is good.
There are useful times.
