Welcome to “Geographic Analysis with OpenStreetMap Data”, a course designed by Benjamin Herfort and colleagues.
OpenStreetMap data is omnipresent when performing GIS analyses. For instance, OSM data has been used to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals, estimate the physical access to health care facilities or to quantify land use and land cover changes. And due to its Open Data approach and a growing community of individuals and “professional” stakeholder such as companies or humanitarian organisations, we can expect OSM to become “the” global geodata source of the future. It’s time to get prepared for this and learn how to use OSM for various purposes and understands its (current) limits.
