[Portugal] Free Introductory Guide To GIS And GPS - MapAction

[José Manuel Estêvão]

Texto retirado do Blog "Free Geography Tools"MapAction
<http://www.mapaction.org/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/>is a
non-profit volunteer organization that provides GIS and mapping services to
disaster areas. They’ve just published a free 118-page Field Guide To
Humanitarian Mapping <http://www.mapaction.org/content/view/183/59/> that’s
a terrific introduction to both data acquisition using a GPS, and how to use
Google Earth and the free open-source Windows GIS program MapWindow for
mapping. I’d even say that it’s a far better choice for beginners than the
recently-published GIS For
Dummies<http://freegeographytools.com/2009/gis-for-dummies-just-published>(more
on that soon, when I get the review of that volume done).

Não me tinha lembrado que o recurso às ferramentas de Código Aberto na área
dos SIG poderá também beneficiar o trabalho das nossas ONG.

Os autores do documento lembram:

"If you want to use a GIS software package other than the MapWindow suite
which is  covered here,  this guide may  still be useful  to  you because
almost  all  the main concepts  (particularly  those described  in sections
1.4  to 1.7) are relevant whatever software you intend to use."

Porque não adaptar para mais ferramentas?

As nossas ONG só têm a ganhar e as populações por elas contactadas ainda
mais.

Benefícios directos e indirectos.

A divulgação da utilização das ferramentas de Código Aberto entre as
populações...
