Processing and analysis of geographic data: Analysis of proximity and accessibility indices (for example to green and blue spaces); individual exposure to environmental factors, such as air pollution or noise; analysis of the relationships between urban design and physical activity, walkability, and many others. We have developed tools in Python to, for example, analyze smartphone GPS data or to automatically geocode a large number of addresses. We can process large volumes of data efficiently.

Services

1. Management and processing of large volumnes of data
2. Analysis
  • Accessibility
  • Exposure to environmental factors, such as air pollution of noise
  • Characteristics of the built environment
  • Characteristics of the natural environment
  • Smart City
  • Geocoding (converting postal addresses into geographic coordinates to integrate them into the GIS analysis)
4.GIS training: from basic to advanced level (from using QGIS to GIS programming in R or Python)

Equipment

We work with open source software (PostgreSQL, PostGIS, Python, R).
