Similar to Mapathon, the ‘GIS Case-Study’ is an activity which aims at creating thematic maps for real-life problems/scenarios. In this, FOSSEE-GIS team provides a list of problem statements/ideas where students will,
(i). Work on a real data-set.
(ii). Study the problem in detail.
(iii). Prepare thematic maps
(iv). Prepare a detailed report on the study based on the maps.
Case-Study can also be a collaborative activity where participants can work together to develop new tools/methods that improve the accuracy and usefulness of maps/GIS data for the community. Please write to us on <mohamedkasim@iitb.ac.in>, for more details.
