Abstract:
This project aimed to exploit existing open data and open-source software to allow visualising and finding spatial coincidences between three groups of indicators: 1) agricultural activity, 2) land use and forest cover changes, and 3) spatial distribution patterns of vegetation loss. This paper presents preliminary results of developing an interactive map using R, Leaflet, and QGIS to perform a simple overlay analysis of layers containing better policy and decision-making indicators. The map uses open data available through the Mexican government platforms, and all processing, storage and publication are done using free open-source software tools. The data used in this project was limited to the Marqués de Comillas municipality because of its importance in Mexico’s forest ecosystem. The maps are a work in progress and a continuation of research done for a geomatics graduate program in Centro de Investigación en Ciencias de Información Geoespacial.

GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
Starting 2016, GI_Forum publishes two issues a Year.
