Steps for creating a basic cartography

Workspace setup:

● Folders and project setup.


● QuickmapServices and the plugin panel
● Build a base cartography.
● Setup the project: the reference system

Download the municipality’s borders and define your study area.


Go to Opendata Toscana:
https://dati.toscana.it/dataset/amb-amm/resource/78b0b842-d43c-461e-a792-99c54436b0b4
And download the dataset.
Drag and drop “am_com_multipart”.

What is GEOscopio? What is WMS? How to use it in our project? Wich datas about Tuscany
are available on the WMS?
The GEOscopio Geoportal is the web GIS tool that allows users to view, query, and
download territorial data of the Region.
You can include the datas of the GEOscopio on your project with a WMS.

To add the GEOscopio WMS to your project:


● Go to https://www.regione.toscana.it/-/geoscopio-wms
● Click on the red link in the text to the .zip file.
● Download the zip file.
● Paste the wms settings folder in your project folder
● In the wms folder there is a documenti with instructions about how to use it in Qgis.
They are in Italian but it has pictures that may help recognize the steps.
● Open your Qgis project and click “add WMS layer”
● Clic on “load”
● Browse to the wms setting folder on your computer and select the
“geoscopio_wms_qgis.xlm” file
● Click on “selct all” and then “import”
● Now all the wms services are available for the use.
● Click on the service required and click “connect”.

And download.

Add style to your land use datas:


● Clip the land use with your study area.
How to manage the style of your land use layer is up to your needs:
1) Use “select by expression” in order to create different layers for the different land use
that you want to display.
2) Double click on the layer, go to “symbology”, on the top row select categorized, select

How to create a DEM


Show youtube channel?
In order to create a DEM there are at least two ways:
1) Go to https://www502.regione.toscana.it/geoscopio/cartoteca.html
● Click on the tiles that cover your project area and download.
● Go to “descrizioneshapefile” and look for: “curve di livello” → LCU.shp
● Go to “descrizioneshapefile” and look for: “punti quotati” → SPQ.shp
● Search the .SPQ and the .LCU shapefile in every tile’s folder of the CTR.
● Drag and drop the files on your Qgis project.
● Select all the elevation point layers from every tile of your study area (.SPQ)
and join them.
● Select the contour lines from every tile of your study area (.LCU) and join
them.
● Go to “strumenti” and search for “interpolazione TIN”.
● Select the merged .SPQ and the merged .LCU layers and join them.
● Be careful to the settings here.
● interpolation mode(?): “linear”
● Layer extension: “LCU merged” layer
● Set the pixels dimension to 10
● You have your DEM.
● On the processing toolbar search for “hillshade” command and add it to the
DEM.

Or
2) Go to https://tinitaly.pi.ingv.it/
● Click on the tiles to download the DEM.
● The file is released for free, but you have cite the source.
● Drag and drop the file on your Qgis project
● From this you can create a 3D hillshade file, that can be very useful for
morphologic analysis.
● On the processing toolbar search for “hillshade” command and add it to the
DEM.

Or
3) It seems like more DEMs are available on the internet free to download. A Google
research might be worth the effort.
How to add the building’s periodization analysis.
Add the WMS layer “EDIFICATO” from the GEOscopio, and add all the layer of the different
years.
