PROBLEM STATEMENT:
TO create a QGIS map to types of soil in different areas in Karnataka for different geographical units (example: districts.
taluks. or villages), map those units, y the data in a GIS software.
Data required: Collect soil type data from soil resource atlas of India. You may also find data on the K-GIS portal or
Karnataka State Spatial Data Infrastructure (KSSDI). The data is in a suitable formats for GIS software (ex: a spreadsheet
With rate and corresponding geographical unit identifiers).
Steps involved:
• Create a Shape rile:
• Get Base Map: Obtain a shape file of Karnataka's administrative bounchries (e.g„ districts, taluks). Find these
on the K•GIS portal or Other data sources.
• Join Data: Use GIS software to join the soil with the shape file. This involves matching the geographical
identifiers (e.g., district names) between the data and the shark file. Map and Visualize:
Map Creation.
• Base Map: Create a map Of Karnataka With the administrative boundaries.
• Layer Creation: Add the soil type data as a layer to the map.
• Symbolization: Use appropriate colour schemes or symbology to represent the soil type data.
2. Customize.
• Labels: Add labels to the map to identify different geographical units.
• Legend: Include a legend to explain scheme or symbology.
• Title and Other Elements: Add a title. scale bar. north arrow. and other relevant elements.
3. Output: Export the map in a suitable format (e.g.. image, interactive web map), Analysis and
Visualization:
• Spatial Analysis: Perform spatial analysis to identify variations in soil type across Karnataka
• Map Visualization: Create a firuil map that effectively communicates the spatial distribution of soil types .
GIS process involved are:
• Collecting.
Managing. Analyzing.
• Visualizing spatial
Date of Submission: One week before the last working day.
