From GIS Data to Interactive Government Web GIS & Dashboards

Technology Stack: QGIS + PostGIS + GeoServer + Web GIS + Government Dashboard environment

1. Course Introduction

Government organizations increasingly require GIS information to be accessible through browser-based applications rather than desktop GIS alone.

This training introduces the complete workflow for creating Web GIS applications and government dashboards, from GIS data preparation and spatial database management to service publishing, interactive maps and dashboard-based visualization.
