GIS applied to Municipality Management: Module 15 ‘gvSIG 3D’

Posted on 26/02/2018 by Mario

The video of the fifteenth module is now available, in which we will see the main functionalities of the 3D extension in gvSIG, based on NASA WorldWind application.

In this module the user will learn how to create a 3D View from a 2D one. The 3D Views that we can create are flat views, when we work in local areas, and spherical views, when we want to see them on the terrestrial sphere.

In the 3D Views we can visualize the digital elevation models, and we can overlap any other layer on them, such as an orthophoto.

On the other hand, if we have a vector layer with building footprints, and a field in which we have the number of floors or the height of the building, we can apply extrusion, so that we can see the polygons vertically as if it were the building, and it helps us to visualize the structure of the city in an easy way.

Mapas para visualizar cómo perciben los ciudadanos la democracia

Posted on 23/02/2018 by Alvaro

En Sociología el uso de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica no es precisamente frecuente, pese a constituirse como una herramienta fundamental para analizar la información desde el punto de vista de las relaciones espaciales. La hasta hace poco falta de opciones de disponer de software SIG, limitadas a costosas licencias de unas pocas transnacionales no interesadas en aquellos sectores que no aumentan su cuenta de resultados, es uno de los principales motivos.

Desde la aparición de proyectos de software libre como gvSIG, estamos viendo como son cada vez más los estudios que desde el campo de la sociología comienzan a hacer uso de este tipo de herramientas. Por eso mismo creo que vale la pena dar eco a estas iniciativas y estudios. Y de ahí este post…

En octubre del pasado año el Pew Research Center realizó una encuesta en 38 países que buscaba determinar cómo se ve a la democracia, un gobierno militar y otros sistemas políticos alrededor del mundo. Continue reading →

GIS applied to Municipality Management: Module 14 ‘Image georeferencing’

Posted on 22/02/2018 by Mario

The video of the fourteenth module is now available, in which we will show how to georeference an image.

Sometimes the technicians of a city council have images that are not georeferenced. They also can have an old map on paper, the data of which are needed to perform some analysis on their desktop application, such as delimiting the municipality in detail for example. That map on paper could be scanned so that they would have an image on their hard disk.

These images don’t have coordinates, so if they insert them in a View they would be in the coordinates ‘0,0’, and they would not be overlapped with the georeferenced cartography.
