QGIS AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING INTERACTIVE MAPS OF URBAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

This article describes the development of interactive maps of urban educational institutions using QGIS as a tool. Many countries are addressing issues related to the convenience of living and working in cities due to the rapid growth of cities worldwide, and urban mapping is one of the tools for this purpose. Interactive maps can optimize the use of urban data and improve living and working conditions in cities. Urban mapping is a primary goal of improving citizens' quality of life. The main goal of mapping is to provide relevant and accurate information for solving problems related to the convenience of living and working in the city. However, many Russian cities lack a unified system for consolidating up-to-date information on facilities and institutions, making the creation of an interactive map essential. Using QGIS will allow you to create a user-friendly and detailed map containing the characteristics and locations of facilities, as well as hyperlinks to sources and photographs. This type of mapping has many advantages over printed maps and will optimize the use of urban data, improving living and working conditions in cities. However, despite all the advantages of geographic information systems, not all Russian cities have the capacity to use them and access the necessary up-to-date information.
