This course is organized into four parts presenting the theoretical and practical foundations of geographic information systems (GIS).
1. Together theses courses constitute an introduction to GIS and require no prior knowledge.
2. By following this introduction to GIS you will quickly acquire the basic knowledge required to create spatial databases, produce high-quality maps, and cartographic representations.
3. This is a practical course create spatial databases and is based on software, including PostGIS and Oracle Spatial.
4. This is a practical course and is based on software, including MapInfo, QGIS, and ArcGIS.
This course is intended for:
- 2nd year engineering students (Master - IMSI and RT specialty)
- Semester 4
- Computer Systems Engineering Department

Geographic Information System (GIS) is an information system capable of organizing and presenting spatially referenced alphanumeric data, as well as producing plans and maps. The term refers to software tools (ArcGIS, Qgis, ...). However, the concept encompasses software, data, hardware, and the know-how related to the use of these.

1. Introduction and Objective:
A first practical work aims to present the Mapinfo software, automatic mapping software with GIS functionalities, and its basic functionalities. It contains exercises to put into practice the knowledge acquired by the students. In addition, we present the following educational objectives:
- Make a presentation of data on a map;
- Use simple automated SQL queries to make selections;
- Set up and perform thematic analyses;
- Integrate maps into word processing or layout software;
- Map a file of individuals.
2. Level reached: autonomy to represent their data on a map, distribute their maps.
3. Pedagogy: 15% theory, 85% practice: case study, scenarios.
4. Mode: face-to-face
5. Rhythm: continuous

ABOUT: QGIS is a free cross-platform Geographic Information System (GIS) released under the GPL license. It handles many vector and raster geographic data formats, as well as databases. This practical work part allows you to discover all the basic functionalities of the software.
