A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is sometimes used interchangeably with Geographic Information Science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems and falls under the broader field of geoinformatics.
The integration of Python into GIS has significantly expanded over the past two decades, particularly following the release of Python 2.0 in 2000. This version introduced numerous programming features that made the language more accessible and easier to deploy. Since then, Python has become a prevalent tool not only within commercial GIS platforms, such as those provided by Esri, but also in open-source environments like QGIS and GRASS. Today, Python is widely recognized as the most commonly used programming language among GIS users and developers.
This program for government focuses on the application of Python and its advanced libraries, including GeoPandas, PySAL, Bokeh, and OSMnx, to implement customized GIS features. The curriculum also includes introductory modules on the ArcGIS API and the QGIS toolbox, providing a comprehensive overview of modern GIS tools and techniques.

A geographic information system (GIS) is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is sometimes used interchangeably with geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems and is a significant domain within the broader field of geoinformatics.
QGIS functions as geographic information system (GIS) software, enabling users to analyze and edit spatial information, as well as compose and export graphical maps. QGIS supports both raster and vector layers; vector data can be stored as point, line, or polygon features. The software accommodates multiple formats of raster images and can georeference these images. In summary, QGIS allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD.
This program, in its first phase, introduces the QGIS interface for general usage. In the second phase, it covers PyQGIS—the Python libraries of QGIS that enable the integration of GIS functionalities into Python code or applications. This allows users to develop their own Python plugins around specific GIS functionalities, enhancing capabilities for government and other sectors.
