In the world of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), creating new datasets from existing ones is very useful. Tools like MAPOG make this process simple and easy. This article will show you how to use MapOG’s Excel Attributes tool to blend different data sources and create new maps.
Key Concept to create a New GIS Datasets from another datasets
MAPOG offers several tools to help with data analysis, including Filters, Spatial Join, and Excel Attributes. We will focus on Excel Attributes, a tool that lets you merge data from Excel spreadsheets with existing GIS layers. This makes your maps more detailed and useful. Alongside this guide, datasets will be provided for practical application. Additionally, articles like “Creating Travel Guides: Mapping with GIS Buffer Zones” and “Creating GIS Solutions for Urban Agriculture Map” offer deeper insights into GIS applications.

Major Findings:
Combining Excel data with GIS datasets can show you many new insights. For example, you can mix population data with geographic regions to see population density. Environmentalists can combine wildlife data with habitat maps to find important areas for conservation. Mixing data gives a clearer picture, helping with better planning and decision-making.
Domain and Industry Applications
- Urban Planning: City planners can use combined data to analyze infrastructure needs, improve traffic flow, and enhance public services.
- Environmental Protection: Conservationists can track animal movements and monitor habitats to plan better protection measures.
- Healthcare: Public health officials can map disease outbreaks and healthcare access to improve resource distribution.
- Real Estate: Realtors and developers can analyze market trends and property values using geographic and demographic data.
MAPOG’s Excel Attributes tool helps create new GIS datasets from existing data. Whether you work in urban planning, environmental protection, healthcare, or real estate, mixing and analyzing data opens up many new possibilities.
