Open Source GIS for Local Government: 6 practical examples

Local governments are increasingly migrating to open source GIS.

Local governments are increasingly migrating to open source GIS. By combining QGIS, PostGIS, and Geoserver, staff are able to complete all required tasks with minimal overhead costs. Without licence restrictions, local governments are able to centralize all GIS data, put GIS on every desk, and control data access through a robust permission system and data auditing. This webinar will present six practical examples demonstrating how local governments can use open source GIS for day-to-day tasks, namely:

  • Asset management
  • Flood risk analysis
  • Census analysis
  • Parcel management
  • Zoning analysis
  • Planning analysis

This 1-hour webinar includes a brief introduction before running through each practical example. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session.
