I work in the forestry sector. I signed up for this course because I felt limited by studying only with QGIS textbooks, and it has been incredibly helpful. The last four practical exercises were challenging, but it was useful to see how various functions are combined and applied. It would be great if you could create a separate course in the future consisting entirely of these types of practical, hands-on problems. Since there is no time limit, I plan to rewatch the lessons frequently until I fully master them. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into preparing this course!!

The lecture was at a sufficient level for GIS beginners, and it allowed me to learn about each function and application method step by step, which was appropriate for the lecture title. It wasn't just an explanation of the functions, but a 5-explanation + 5-practice format, which made it easy to get the hang of it. Solving appropriate example problems in between helped me understand more. Overall, it was a satisfactory lecture :)

I have always wanted to learn about the entire QGIS function, but it was difficult to find a suitable lecture. This lecture was great because I could learn everything from analysis to visualization by taking just one. Thank you. I look forward to other lectures!!!

Why should you take this course?

Increasing Importance of GIS

  • Today, it is difficult to find a field where spatial information is not used, and GIS software and the
    analysis performed through it are being utilized as core tools for various research, policy applications, decision-making, and business.

  • By learning QGIS, you can improve your ability to apply it broadly across various fields and build a competitive career that spans across different majors and professional sectors.

High-quality lectures

  • Based on years of GIS education experience, this course is designed so that even those who are new to QGIS can easily follow along, and all materials required for the course are organized and provided by section.

  • Additionally, the instructor has exclusively released multiple QGIS courses on Inflearn, providing
    practical help to over 600 students, and has designed this course to help learners acquire overall QGIS proficiency.

Wide-ranging Usability

  • QGIS is a free and powerful open-source GIS software that provides excellent features for spatial data analysis,
    visualization, map creation, and statistics.

  • After taking the course, you will be able to understand QGIS as a whole and acquire analysis/visualization skills, which can then be
    applied to various fields including environment, urban planning, forestry, water quality, transportation, and specific research/analysis projects.

Recommended for the following people.

GIS-related professionals/majors

  • UPGRADE my skills even further

  • Maximizing the scope of GIS application

  • Reduce time spent on work/tasks


Spatial data researchers

  • Acquiring analytical skills through examples

  • Applying more advanced methodologies

  • Creating figures to showcase research results

Office workers dreaming of enhancing their specs

  • Connection between job fields and GIS

  • Creating new results using GIS

  • New ideas for planning

I also recommend this course to anyone interested in QGIS!!

Internalizing learned functions through solving practical examples (🟥 Section 4)

Let's make QGIS functions our own through practical exercises where you solve problems yourself using the features you've learned.

  • Through the four practical examples in Section 4, you will actually apply the content practiced during the class.

  • Practical examples 1 and 2 utilize vector layers, while problems 3 and 4 are primarily composed of raster layers.

  • As you progress through the problems, the difficulty of the analysis increases slightly, and the number of functions you need to use increases proportionally.

  • It is composed of functions that are actually used in real-world analysis, so it can be usefully applied when conducting GIS projects in the future.

Notes before taking the course

PC Environment

  • QGIS processing time may vary depending on the data used, analysis functions, and the user's PC environment.

  • The instructor recorded the lectures and conducted the QGIS software practice on a Windows OS PC.

Learning Materials

  • All learning materials are based on data publicly available on the internet, and for the students,
    the materials used for each section are divided, compressed, and provided all at once.

  • The data sources have been documented in the "출처.txt" file within the learning materials zip file.

Inquiries Before / During the Course

  • Inquiries before taking the course and Q&A during the course are both available.

  • If you leave a question, I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible :)

FAQ

Is it okay to select and take only the parts of the lecture content that I need?

Yes, this course covers a wide range of functions available in QGIS. Therefore, there is no problem with the course progression even if you already know
some of the content or choose to take only the specific parts you need.

Can I immediately apply this to my specific field (work/major/research, etc.)?

Yes, while the data used as examples in this course may differ in format or type from the materials you are currently using,
the analytical functions utilized within QGIS are essentially the same, so you will be able to apply them practically right after the hands-on practice.

What should I do to learn more advanced content?

This course covers QGIS in general, and two other QGIS courses are exclusively available on Inflearn in addition to this one.

These are lectures focusing on QGIS analysis automation practice using Python and QGIS visualization & layout functions, respectively. If you are interested in more advanced analysis methods and visualization, please check out the corresponding lectures below :)
