 Abstract
This "Workshop on “ Road Map for IIT Kharagpur Campus", aims to introduce students to
GIS and develop their skills in digitizing spatial data using QGIS. The ultimate goal of the
project is to create a comprehensive digital representation of the IIT Kharagpur campus
infrastructure for long-term planning and development. The project outlines the tools and
software that students must use for the assignment, which is Quantum GIS (QGIS). The class
is divided into five groups, and each group is assigned a specific pilot study area within the
IIT Kharagpur campus. The task overview of the assignment is to digitize existing roads
within the assigned pilot study area, represent features as line-type vector data, and create
attribute tables and layers for documentation. The digitization process involves importing the
base map of the assigned area into QGIS and using QGIS tools to accurately trace and map
existing roads, footpaths, and cycle tracks. The attribute tables and layers for documentation
include four layers: roads, footpaths, cycle tracks, and integrated footways. Each layer has
specific attributes that must be documented, such as road length, width, surface, dedicated
lanes, and divider. Features and attributes are documented according to the same standards.
The study also includes the network analysis and the finding of the distance matrix.
At the end the study requires the QGIS project file (.qgs), shapefiles of the digitized roads,
and a brief report summarizing the digitization process.

 Introduction

BACKGROUND STUDY - One of the most prevalent methods of representing special data
is via mapping. Almost all planning and research-related occupations can enhance their

effectiveness by understanding mapping and geospatial analysis. There are several mapping

software programs; however, they are typically expensive and have a steep learning curve.
Gary Sherman began the development of Quantum GIS in early 2002, and it became an
incubator project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation in 2007. QGIS (Quantum
Geographic Information System) is a free, open-source software that allows users to create,

edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information . QGIS offers a wide range of
functionality, such as vector and raster analysis, geoprocessing, geocoding, georeferencing,
web mapping, and 3D visualization. QGIS also supports many data formats and standards,
such as Shapefile, GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, WMS, WFS, and PostGIS.

AIM – The aim of this study is to get introduced to GIS and to develop the skills in digitizing
spatial data using QGIS.

OBJECTIVES – To fulfil the aim following are the objectives

1. To digitize existing roads within the assigned pilot study area using QGIS.
2. To represent features as line-type vector data and create attribute tables and layers for
documentation.
3. To ensure accuracy and precision in digitization, completeness of attribute tables and
layers, adherence to standards and consistency across groups, and quality of the final report.

SCOPE
1. The study will help in the digitization of existing roads within the IIT Kharagpur campus
using QGIS
2. It helps in creating attribute tables and layers for documentation which helps in the easy
finding of features of any vector data.
