Exercise 4 – Preparing the RHC and SubRHC base microplanning maps Rocco Panciera - UNICEF

Summary Map Type 1: Base microplanning maps Purpose: to support the microplanning process at RHC and SRHC level Audience: RHC supervisor and SRHC midwives Medium: hardcopy Content Geospatial data: Location of health facilities with names location of EPI communities Transportation networks Landscape features/geographic barriers (rivers and water bodies) Boundaries of SubRHC and RHC reporting areas Attributes: Distances between EPI communities and health facilities

Summary What we have done so far The attribute (statistics and information) data have been prepared for linking with the geographic objects (Exercise 2) All geospatial data have been input in the GIS software (Exercise 3) All attributes have been prepared and attached to the relevant geographic objects (Exercise 3) We are ready to create some thematic maps!

Exercise 4 – Part I Fix the symbology of different layers

Exercise 4 - Preparation Open the project created during exercise 3 Open QGIS click on the open icon Browse to the folder TRAINING_MATERIAL\EXERCISES\EXERCISE_4 \Data Select the QGIS project file named «  KokeKoKwha_base_micro_140318.qgs » click Open

Exercise 4 - Preparation Creating the thematic map – Mode of representation We have many pieces of information to appear on the map ?? Need to find away to represent all information in a useful and visually appealing way on top of each other

Exercise 4 - Preparation Lets start by clearing the map canvas Clear the map canvas by unselecting the visibility for all layers

Set Symbology of Health Facility Layer Set different symbols for Rural and Sub Rural Health centres Once Back in the main window, you will see the different symbols you selected for each health facility type Click OK

Set Symbology of Health Facility Layer The locations of the SHRC health facilities in the Koke Ko Kwha RHC are now visible in the QGIS canvas, overlapped with the boundaries of the SubRHC’s Rural health Centre (Main) Remember to Save the project!

Set Symbology of EPI communities layer Right click on the EPI communitie location layer “EPI_COM_ML_KokeKoKhwaRHC_060318” Select “Properties” In the Window that appears Select the “Symbology” tag Select “Single symbol” Click on “simple marker” Select a desired symbol Select a color and a symbol size 2 3 1 5 4

Set Symbology of Health Facility Layer The locations of the EPI communities in the Koke Ko Kwha RHC are now visible in the QGIS canvas, overlapped with the boundaries of the SubRHC’s an the health facilities Our Maps are slowly shaping up! Remember to Save the project!

Set Symbology of Road Network In order to style the road networks, we will apply a pre-set style type to the road network layer  Saves a lot of time! Right click on the OSM_roads_020318 layer Select “Properties” In the Window that appears Select Style and “Load style” In the appearing window, Navigate to folder TRAINING_MATERIAL\EXERCISES\E XERCISE_4 Select the file “OSM_road_symbology.qml” Click “Open” Back in the Style window, Click “Ok”

Set Symbology of Road Network The road network will appear in the QGIS canvas Notice how different rod types are displayed with different symbology, which represent the road category Remember to Save the project!

Set Symbology of Railway Network Right click on the OSM_railways_010318 In the symbology window Select “line” In the styles window, select the “topo railway” symbol type Select a color and a width for the line Click “Ok” 1 2 4 3 5

Set Symbology of Railway Network The railway network will appear in the QGIS canvas We have now completed the symbology for the transportation network Remember to Save the project!

Set Labels of EPI communities Layer Click the Expression button to open the expression dialogue window The expression dialogue window will appear In the blank space of the new window, type the following expression "EPI_SC_C" || '\n' || "EPI_C_NM" || '\n' || "D_distance_mi" || ' mi‘ This will result in a label with content: 9. If the preview looks good Click “Ok” twice Click to add operators || & '\n’ to expression Double click field name to add to expression EPI community unique ID EPI community name Distance to SRHC health facility in miles "VI_NA_MM1" || '\n' || 'T:' || "P_EST_POP_T" || '\n' || 'U1:' || P_POP_LE1 || '\n' || 'PW:' || "P_PW" || '\n' || D_distance_km || 'km' 8 Check the label preview

Set Labels of Health Facility Layer In order to label the SRCH and RHC health facilities by their name Right-click the health facility layer and select “properties” Select the tag “Labels” In the top bar select “Show labels for this layer” In the “label with” bar select field “HF_N_MM Select the “Text” sub-menu choose the desired font size, style and color Select the “Placement” menu Choose “around point” Type value 3 for distance 3 4 2 5 6 "VI_NA_MM1" || '\n' || 'T:' || "P_EST_POP_T" || '\n' || 'U1:' || P_POP_LE1 || '\n' || 'PW:' || "P_PW" || '\n' || D_distance_km || 'km' Remember to Save the project!

Set Labels of Health Facility Layer SRCH and RHC health facilities sites are now labelled according to their name Remember to save the project!

Set Labels of Health Facility Layer SRCH and RHC health facilities sites are now labelled according to their name in Myanmar language Remember to save the project!

Conclusions The geospatial layers and connected attributes required to produce the base microplanning maps have now been styled symbolized and labeled All the files are saved in the project file “KokeKoKwha_base_micro_140318.qgs” and can be recalled at any time for viewing in the QGIS software Printable versions of these maps can be produced using the Layout composer as explained in session 14
