Working with QGIS
Vector and raster data

Type of data What is it? Advantages Disadvantages

Vector Data is stored as geometric objects Offers high precision Complex to analyze
such as points, lines, and and clarity + due to the detailed
polygons. Each of these intuitive geometry and
geometries represents different associated attributes
types of real-world features

Raster Raster data is made up of pixels Simpler to analyze Becomes large in file
(also called cells), which are and process size with increasing
square-shaped areas on the earth's computationally resolution and may
surface. Each pixel holds a value lose detail when
representing information zoomed in

Operationalization
Defining concepts + making them measurable

• Defining concepts: describing as accurately as possible what

you mean by them
• Search definitions in dictionary or in literature
• Provide an overview if necessary
• Make a choice if necessary
• Making concepts measurable
• Which data / variables related to the concepts are available in the files?

Research design
What to do today and since next week

• A. Processing feedback on research design and further

operationalizing concepts

• B. Determining the data sources/variables to be used and procedure

for (possible) processing of original data

• C. (further) Developing an analysis schedule

Exercise 2
What do to now

• Finalize the research proposal drafting the operationalization

• Search for data (e.g. PDOK)
• State how you are going to measure your concepts
• Think about the next steps (write them down, if possible)
• How are you going to process the data?
• What is the final deliverable you are going to produce?
