🕒 12:15–13:15
🏷️ Labels: GADM, Geospatial, Python, Geojson, File Management
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to explore the visualization of country-specific data on maps using GADM and manage .geojson files effectively for geospatial analysis.

Key Activities:

  • Developed a structured approach to overlay data on maps using GADM, with code examples provided for implementation using Python and Geopandas.
  • Conducted a directory check for .geojson files to ensure all necessary files were present for the analysis.
  • Addressed troubleshooting steps for missing .geojson files, including verifying file locations and adjusting directories as needed.
  • Provided a Python code snippet to handle specific filenames, ensuring certain files were excluded from processing.

Achievements:

  • Successfully outlined the workflow for visualizing geospatial data using administrative boundaries from GADM.
  • Identified and resolved issues related to missing or mislocated .geojson files, ensuring smooth file management.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further testing of the geospatial visualization code with a complete set of .geojson files to validate the approach.
  • Optimization of the file handling script to improve efficiency and accuracy.
