Python
In this hands-on course, learn how to analyze, process, and visualize geographic data using Python and GeoPandas. You’ll learn how to load, combine, and analyze shapefiles, GeoJSON, and other spatial datasets using Python’s powerful data analysis tools.
Â
In a world where spatial data plays a central role in decision-making, urban planning, environmental analysis, and data visualization, GeoPandas offers a powerful and accessible way to analyze geographic data using Python.
GeoPandas combines the simplicity of the popular Python library pandas with the power of GIS functionality, allowing you to process, analyze, and visualize geographic data without having to use complex GIS software.
With GeoPandas, you can effortlessly load, combine, and analyze shapefiles, GeoJSON files, and other spatial datasets. When combined with libraries such as Shapely, Matplotlib, PyProj, and Folium, a complete ecosystem is created for performing geographic analyses, spatial calculations, and map visualizations.
This integration makes Python and GeoPandas an ideal platform for GIS professionals, data analysts, and developers who want to use geographic data in automated workflows and data-driven applications.
The Python GeoPandas course at Geo-ICT offers a hands-on learning experience where you’ll learn step-by-step how to work with geographic datasets. Whether you want to perform geographic analyses, combine vector and raster data, or create interactive maps—this course is the perfect starting point for understanding and utilizing spatial data with Python.
GeoPandas plays a key role in the modern GIS world. It brings the power of Python data analysis to the realm of geodata, making spatial operations accessible to anyone who works with data.

Contact usDuring this one-day Python GeoPandas course, you’ll discover the power of Python for working with geographic data. The day begins with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of geographic information systems (GIS) and the role Python plays in them. You’ll then learn how to use GeoPandas to import geographic datasets, such as shapefiles or GeoJSON files, and how this data is stored in a GeoDataFrame. You will then get hands-on experience performing spatial operations. You’ll discover how to filter objects by location, create buffers around points, calculate intersections between layers, and combine different datasets. You’ll also learn how GeoPandas works with libraries like Shapely and PyProj for geometric calculations and coordinate transformations. In the afternoon, the course focuses on analysis and visualization. The day concludes with a hands-on exercise in which you’ll execute a complete workflow: from loading and editing a dataset to analyzing and visualizing the results. By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a solid understanding of how to use Python and GeoPandas to process and present geographic data within your own projects.
Importing and Managing Data
Participants can import, explore, and manage various types of geographic datasets (such as Shapefiles, GeoJSON, and PostGIS tables) using GeoPandas.
Performing spatial operations
Participants can perform spatial analyses, such as buffer, intersection, and overlay operations, and understand how geometric relationships between objects are calculated.
Analyzing and combining data
Participants can combine, filter, and enrich GeoDataFrames with non-spatial data to gain deeper spatial insights.
Visualizing
geographic data Participants can effectively visualize geographic data using Matplotlib or Folium, and generate maps themselves for reporting or web publication.

A basic understanding of Python is recommended. You don’t need to be an experienced programmer, but you should know how to work with variables, functions, and dataframes. We’ll briefly review how Python handles data before we get started with GeoPandas.
Pandas is designed for analyzing tabular data, while GeoPandas extends this functionality to include geographic objects such as points, lines, and polygons. This allows you to perform spatial analyses with GeoPandas, for example, to calculate distances or select objects within a specific area.
You will work with common file formats such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, and CSV with coordinates. You will also learn how to load data from a PostGIS database and how to combine different datasets into a single GeoDataFrame.
