Bienvenue sur PostGIS.fr , le site de la communauté des utilisateurs francophones de PostGIS.

PostGIS ajoute le support d'objets géographique à la base de données PostgreSQL. En effet, PostGIS "spatialise" le serverur PostgreSQL, ce qui permet de l'utiliser comme une base de données SIG.

Maintenu à jour, en fonction de nos disponibilités et des diverses sorties des outils que nous testons, nous vous proposons l'ensemble de nos travaux publiés en langue française.

4=========================

6The data for this workshop is four shapefiles for New York City, and one attribute table of sociodemographic variables.  We've loaded our shapefiles as PostGIS tables and will add sociodemographic data later in the workshop.
7
8The following describes the number of records and table attributes for each of our datasets.  These attribute values and relationships are fundamental to our future analysis.

12nyc_census_blocks
13-----------------
14
15A census block is the smallest geography for which census data is reported. All higher level census geographies (block groups, tracts, metro areas, counties, etc) can be built from unions of census blocks. We have attached some demographic data to our collection of blocks.

51.. note:: 
52
53    To get census data into GIS, you need to join two pieces of information: the actual data (text), and the boundary files (spatial).  There are many options for getting the data, including downloading data and boundaries from the Census Bureau's `American FactFinder <http://factfinder.census.gov>`_.

55nyc_neighborhoods
56-----------------
57
58New York has a rich history of neighborhood names and extent.  Neighborhoods are social constructs that do not follow lines laid down by the government. For example, the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, and Cobble Hill were once collectively known as "South Brooklyn." And now, depending on which real estate agent you talk to, the same four blocks in the-neighborhood-formerly-known-as-Red-Hook can be referred to as Columbia Heights, Carroll Gardens West, or Red Hook!

76nyc_streets
77-----------
78
79The street centerlines form the transportation network of the city. These streets have been flagged with types in order to distinguish between such thoroughfares as back alleys, arterial streets, freeways, and smaller streets. Desirable areas to live might be on residential streets rather than next to a freeway.

100nyc_subway_stations
101-------------------
102
103The subway stations link the upper world where people live to the invisible network of subways beneath. As portals to the public transportation system, station locations help determine how easy it is for different people to enter the subway system.

127nyc_census_sociodata
128--------------------
129
130There is a rich collection of social-economic data collected during the census process, but only at the larger geography level of census tract.  Census blocks combine to form census tracts (and block groups). We have collected some social-economic at a census tract level to answer some of these more interesting questions about New York City.
131
132.. note::
133
134   The ``nyc_census_sociodata`` is a data table.  We will need to connect it to Census geographies before conducting any spatial analysis.
