![]() In this section we will cover starting a new QGIS project. Water_Pumps.geojson - this is a spatial data file containing the locations of all of the water pumps recorded in John Snow’s original map of the cholera outbreak.Snow-cholera-map-1_modified - this is a geo-referenced image of the map from John Snow’s original report on the cholera outbreak of 1854.These files are provided in case any of the steps can’t be completed due to software errors or other problems. There is an extra backup data folder that contains versions of files that we will create during the workshop. Study_Area.shp - This file is simply a rectangular feature that describes our area of interest.snow_ - this is a non-georeferenced image of the map from John Snow’s original report on the cholera outbreak of 1854.This table also contains the number of deaths at each address. deathAddresses.csv - this is a table latitude and longitude coordinates for addresses affected by the cholera outbreak.The project data folder contains the following datasets: zip file to make it’s contents completely accessible to QGIS. Once the download is complete, browse to the folder where you saved it, and unzip the.The data package for the workshop can be downloaded from.To download QGIS for your operating system go to and click on the download link. ![]() While the latest beta release contains extra features and functionality, it often and also contains bugs and limited functionality, which can be frustrating to new users. ![]() If you are in new user we suggest installing the latest long-term release for your operating system. This workshop was created using QGIS version 3.12, which is the long-term release. Users should prepare for this workshop by installing the QGIS software appropriate for their operating system and downloading the data to their local hard drive. Steven Johnson’s “Ghost Map” TED Talk - Setup This introductory session will focus upon the fundamental concepts and skills needed to begin using Geographic Information Systems software for the exploration and analysis of spatial data using the QGIS platform. This workshop aims to accomplish two things: Introduce participants to basic vocabulary, concepts and techniques for working with spatial data in research and introduce the interface and tools in QGIS, a free & open source desktop GIS software.
