1.2. 練習データを準備する

The sample data provided with the Training Manual refers to the town of Swellendam and its surroundings. Swellendam is located about 2 hours’ east of Cape Town in the Western Cape of South Africa. The dataset contains feature names in both English and Afrikaans.

誰で無理なくこのデータセットを使用できますが、自分の国や故郷からのデータを使用することを好む方もいるかもしれません。そうすることを選択した場合は、ローカライズされたデータが、モジュール3からモジュール7.2のすべてのレッスンで使用されます。それ以降のモジュールはより複雑なデータソースを使用しており、お住まいの地域ではご使用になれない場合があります。

ノート

このプロセスはコース召集者、または、それらのコースのためにローカライズされたサンプル・データセットをつくりたいより経験あるQGISユーザー向けにしました。デフォルトのデータセットはトレーニングマニュアルとともに提供されていますが、デフォルトのデータセットを置き換えたい場合は、これらの指示に従うことができます。

ノート

The sample data used throughout the manual can be downloaded here: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Training-Data/archive/QGIS-Training-Data-v1.0.zip. You can save the files in a folder named exercise_data.

1.2.1. hard Try Yourself

ノート

以下の手順では、QGISの十分な知識を持っており、教材として使用されることを意図していないと仮定します。

デフォルトのデータセットをコースのためのローカライズされたデータに置き換えたい場合、QGISに組み込まれたツールを使って簡単に行うことができます。あなたが使おうとする領域は、都市部と農村部の適当な混合地であり、河川や水面、道路、地域の境界(自然保護区や農場など)などが分かれてる必要があります。

  • QGISプロジェクトを開く

  • In the Vector menu dropdown, select OpenStreetMap ‣ Download Data. You can then manually enter the co-ordinates of the region you wish to use, or you can use an existing layer to set the co-ordinates.
  • Choose a location to save the resulting .osm file and click Ok:
../../../_images/set_osm_region.png
  • You can then open the .osm file using the Add Vector Layer button. You may need to select All files in the browser window. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file into the QGIS window.
  • In the dialog which opens, select all the layers, except the other_relations and multilinestrings layer:
../../../_images/select_osm_layers.png

This will load three layers into your map which relate to OSM’s naming conventions (you may need to zoomFullExtent Zoom Full to see the vector data).

../../../_images/osm_data_loaded.png

We need to extract the useful data from these layers, rename them and create corresponding shape files:

  • First, double-click the multipolygons layer to open the Layer properties dialog.
  • In the General tab, click Query Builder to open the Query builder window.

This layer contains three fields whose data we will need to extract for use throughout the Training Manual:

  • building
  • natural (specifically, water)
  • landuse

You can sample the data your region contains in order to see what kind of results your region will yield. If you find that “landuse” returns no results, then feel free to exclude it.

You’ll need to write filter expressions for each field to extract the data we need. We’ll use the “building” field as an example here:

  • Enter the following expression into the text area: building != "NULL" and click Test to see how many results the query will return. If the number of results is small, you may wish to have a look at the layer’s Attribute Table to see what data OSM has returned for your region:
../../../_images/building_query_builder.png
  • Click Ok and you’ll see that the layer elements which are not buildings have been removed from the map.

We now need to save the resulting data as a shapefile for you to use during your course:

  • Right-click the multipolygons layer and select Save As...
  • Make sure the file type is ESRI Shapefile and save the file in your new exercise_data directory, under a directory called “epsg4326”.
  • Make sure No Symbology is selected (we’ll add symbology as part of the course later on).
  • You can also select Add saved file to map.

Once the buildings layer has been added to the map, you can repeat the process for the natural and landuse fields using the following expressions:

ノート

Make sure you clear the previous filter (via the Layer properties dialog) from the multipolygons layer before proceeding with the next filter expression!

  • natural: “natural = ‘water’”
  • landuse: “landuse != ‘NULL’”

Each resulting data set should be saved in the “epsg4326” directory in your new exercise_data directory (i.e. “water”, “landuse”).

You should then extract and save the following fields from the lines and points layers to their corresponding directories:

  • lines: “highway != ‘NULL’” to roads, and “waterway != ‘NULL’” to rivers
  • points: “place != ‘NULL’” to places

Once you have finished extracting the above data, you can remove the multipolygons, lines and points layers.

You should now have a map which looks something like this (the symbology will certainly be very different, but that is fine):

../../../_images/post_osm_import.png

The important thing is that you have 6 layers matching those shown above and that all those layers have some data.

The last step is to create a spatiallite file from the landuse layer for use during the course:

  • Right-click the landuse layer and select Save as...
  • Select SpatialLite as the format and save the file as landuse under the “epsg4326” directory.
  • Click Ok.
  • Delete the landuse.shp and its related files (if created).

1.2.2. hard Try Yourself SRTM DEM tiffファイルの作成

For Module 6 (Creating Vector Data) and Module 8 (Rasters), you’ll also need raster images (SRTM DEM) which cover the region you have selected for your course.

CGIAR-CGI ( http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/ ) ではいくつか SRTM DEM を提供しており、 http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SELECTION/inputCoord.asp からダウンロードできます。

You’ll need images which cover the entire region you have chosen to use. If you kept same data as the training manual, you can use the extent shown in the figure_set_osm_region figure above, otherwise adapt your extent. Keep the GeoTiff format. Once the form is filled, click on the Click here to Begin Search >> button and download the file(s).

必要なファイルをダウンロードしたら、それらを raster/SRTM サブフォルダの下の exercise_data ディレクトリに保存する必要があります。

1.2.3. hard Try Yourself 画像のTIFFファイルを作成

In Module 6, Lesson 1.2 shows close-up images of three school sports fields which students are asked to digitize. You’ll therefore need to reproduce these images using your new SRTM DEM tiff file(s). There is no obligation to use school sports fields: any three school land-use types can be used (e.g. different school buildings, playgrounds or car parks).

For reference, the images in the example data are:

../../../_images/field_outlines.png ../../../_images/school_area_one.png

1.2.4. basic Try Yourself トークンの置き換え

Having created your localised dataset, the final step is to replace the tokens in the conf.py file so that the appropriate names will appear in your localised version of the Training Manual.

置き換える必要のあるトークンは次のとおりです:

  • majorUrbanName: this defaults to “Swellendam”. Replace with the name of the major town in your region.
  • schoolAreaType1: this defaults to “athletics field”. Replace with the name of the largest school area type in your region.
  • largeLandUseArea: this defaults to “Bontebok National Park”. Replace with the name of a large landuse polygon in your region.
  • srtmFileName: this defaults to srtm_41_19.tif. Replace this with the filename of your SRTM DEM file.
  • localCRS: this defaults to WGS 84 / UTM 34S. You should replace this with the correct CRS for your region.
