Development of GIS Educational Tools for Urban Planning Using Free and Open Source Software

چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to develop the GIS educational environment in training program using open-source GIS software. First, we have verified the substitutability of laboratory exercise materials at our university from commercial GIS to open-source GIS software. Next, we grasp the improvement situation of the free spatial data that are opened to the public by the government and present the development of supportive tools for GIS training and the actual example using free spatial data. Moreover, we prepared the data format converter to import directly the several downloaded free spatial data into GRASS-GIS. By using converter, users are able to prepare the direct readable data into GIS software and to concentrate oneself to learning.
