    The document discusses digitizing maps of Uttarakhand, India. It describes digitizing administrative divisions and roads/rivers into vector layers using QGIS. The methodology outlines digitizing districts as polygons and highways as lines. A print composer is then created with a title, frame, grid, scale, legend, and north arrow. The resulting map shows the absolute and relative location of Uttarakhand's capital, Dehradun. Accuracy is important for a good GIS database from digitization.

    DIGITISATION

    INTRODUCTION TO DIGITISATION :-

     Digitization is one of the important tasks for a GIS specialist.


    Digitization is a process of converting raster data to vector data. For this
    task QGIS provides many tools for efficient digitization. Digitization (or
    vectorization) should be clean and a copy of the raster data so that the
    information of the map does not change.
    AIM :-

    a) To digitize the given Administrative divisions map of


    Uttarakhand .
    b) To digitize the given Road / River map of Uttarakhand .
    c) To prepare a print composer of the same map.
    DATA SOURCE : -

    The Uttarakhand map taken from Google.


    METHODOLOGY :-

     TO DIGITIZE THE GIVEN ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISION OF


    UTTARAKHAND MAP

    1. Use already georeferenced map of uttarakhand.

    2. Create another layer for digitization.


    3. Fill the required details for the new shape file layer.

    4. Activate toggle edting and add polygon features.

    5. Digitise all the districts and save them with the sr. no. and their
    names.
    6. Similarly digitize all other districts and save them accordingly.

    7. Now go to properties and add labels.


     TO DIGITIZE THE GIVEN ROADS / RIVERS OF UTTARAKHAND
    MAP

    1.Add another georeferenced map of Uttarakhand having more details


    of roads and district headquarters.
    2.Now we need to create more layers and to select their geometry type
    as follows :-
     National Highway - LINE
     State Capital - POINT
     District Headquarters -MULTI POINTS
    3.Use toggle editing and add features to digitize national highways and
    District Boundaries in the same way as done before.

     TO PREPARE A PRINT COMPOSER OF DIGITISED UTTARAKHAND


    MAP

    1.To create a Layout for the map click new print Layout.
    2.Add MAP .

    3.Add TITLE.
    4.Add FRAME.

    5.Add GRID.
    6.Add SCALE.

    7.Add LEGEND.
    8.Add NORTH ARROW.

    9.Add all features using their specific tools–


     Title
     Frame
     Legend
     Grid
     Scale
     North Arrow

    10.Export the file in the PDF format and save it.


    RESULTING MAP

    ANALYSIS : -
    Absolute Location of State Capital of Uttarakhand i.e. Dehradun.
     Latitude = 30.316496 N
     Longitude = 78.032188 E
    Relative Location of State Capital of Uttarakhand i.e. Dehradun.
    Uttarakhand , formerly Uttaranchal, state of India, located in the
    northwestern part of the country. It is bordered to the northwest by the
    Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, to the northeast by
    the Tibet autonomous Region of China, to the southeast by Nepal, and
    to the south and southwest by the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh . Its
    capital is the northwestern city of Dehra Dun.
    Uttarakhand lies on the southern slope of the Himalaya range, and the
    climate and vegetation vary greatly with elevation, from glaciers at the
    highest elevations to tropical forests at the lower elevations.
    CONCLUSION : -
     A very important aspect of digitisation is the accuracy of the
    digitised products. Spatial accuracy of the features depicted on the
    map is very important for a good GIS database.
      Digitisation in a different projection system results in inaccurate
    placement of features such that the map and the digitised image do
    not overlap each other. 
     Digitisation results in tracing the map or other analogue feature
    into digital form in which each feature has a proper locational
    identity.
      After these preliminary steps, the features on the map are traced
    out using the puck in the form of points, lines and polygons with
    each feature having the correct geographic location.
     The process of converting an analogue map into a digital format is

    known as “Digitisation”.
