[Qgis-community-team] QGIS Case Studies "Geogenealogy"

[Artur Zen]

Short Introduction





Hi, my name is Artur Zen and I am a graduate in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering and GIS. 




Currently I work in systems development and people management, but in the free time, I am a lover of Geosciences, Geotechnology and Genealogy. 




Story about your project/application and what QGIS is used for:




The project objective is to demonstrate in practice all the possibilities of using GIS in Genealogy. 


Since 2009 I've been collecting all my movements regardless of the means of transportation (bike, walk, run, car, bus, train, subway, etc.) 

​

Now I'm in the process of publishing the results of this project as a whole (techniques, methodologies, equipment, software, etc.).


 So I'm using QGIS and various Open Source solutions. (collecting and analyzing)




Conclusion showing positive experiences/benefits using QGIS:




I already use QGIS since version 1.6.0, but in version 2.0.1 my work is getting better.


I am running 4 concurrent sessions QGIS, and in each of these sessions, I am processing about 3000 routes. 


The performance has been excellent, as you can see in the video below.

In my view the main gains are related to import and organize these routes for spatial analysis and publication of statistical results. 




I really like the work that this community is doing.


Congratulations to all.


Regards


Artur
