Automatic Generation of Atlases for Social Data: Developing a Plugin for Qgis.3

The proposed plugin allows the generation of an automatic Atlas with layers of data with spatial references by crossing freely or supervising several thematic parameters in the form of a graphical interface. The Atlas aims to provide additional knowledge and skills as a map and diagram to elected representatives and planners to take into account the socio-economic dimension in planning policies and actions. It is developed in Python to be integrated directly into the environment of the Qgis 3 geographic information system. Toward the end, this tool offers the opportunity to the different users of cartographic production at the national level, such as The Centre for Social Action, Water Agency, Urban Planning Agency, Territorial Collectivity, Consulting Bureau to generate an Atlas of maps automatically. The Atlas could provide a panorama of several following thematic maps: (demography, employment, accommodation, disability, land use, etc.). Furthermore, Atlas allows a cartographer or a user to make a map or several based on a graphical interface. Finally, this will result in the constitution of a dynamic Atlas adapted to the needs of both the researcher of land management and planning. One of the advantages of this plugin is that it is quite possible to integrate geographic data into a web-mapping interface. It is also noted that this tool makes it possible to connect to a Postgres database to produce the maps remotely.
