Overview

Fourth Day: One day hands on training for Select volunteers on data capture storage in web hand held device environment
Fifth Day: Field data collection and GIS analysis followed by presentations by participants
Queries and Feedback

Software: Desktop GIS: OpenJUMP/ QGIS, Database: PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
Workshop Anticipated Outcome: At the end of workshop, the trainees will have learnt not only the fundamentals but application in Geoinformatics for desktop use. In addition, the trainees will have a very good grounding on open source databases and their use. The practical integrated workshops will further enhance the capacities in use of open source GIS. The trainees will also have a very good understanding of the concepts of web GIS.
