GIS4Schools data

Dataset for the practice lectures of the <strong>GIS4Schools</strong> project, co-funded by the Erasmus plus Programme of the European Union. Project number: 2020-1-IT02-KA201-079490. The dataset refers to the geographic area between North-West Italy (Lombardy and Piedmont) and South Switzerland (Ticino Canton), including Maggiore, Como and Lugano lakes. Geographic data projection is the WGS84 UTM32 North (EPSG:32632). The dataset consists of a GeoPackage file (containing both vector and raster layers), one shapefile and two QGIS layer style files (.qml) with the raster layers symbology (vector layers symbology is stored directly in the GeoPackage). <strong>GIS4Schools_GeoPackage.gpkg</strong>, containing the following layers: Lakes: Vector layer that represents the main lakes in the area of interest Land_Cover: Raster layer that represents the land cover classes defined within Corine Land Cover 2018 Municipalities_OSM: Vector layer that defines the municipalities' boundaries within the area of interest Population: Table containing the number of inhabitants of the municipalities around the lakes River_network: Vector layer that represents the main river network within the area of interest Temperature_distribution: Raster layer that represents the temperature distribution of the lakes Temperature: Vector layer representing the temperature distribution of the lakes <strong>Population_municipalities_on_lakes.shp</strong>: Vector file that represents municipalities on lakes and their population <strong>Land_Cover_style.qml: </strong>Symbology of the raster Land_Cover <strong>Temperature_distribution_style.qml:</strong> Symbology of the raster Temperature_distribution Data are derived from different sources.
