Analysis of Mozambique Population

Analysis of Mozambique Population

I'm excited to share another analysis, this time looking at the population distribution of our vast and beautiful Mozambique.

This analysis was made possible through the rasterised administrative units used to carry out the population breakdown, with a spatial resolution of approximately 100m grid cells (0.0008333 decimal degrees). The estimate was made for the year 2022 and different manifestations of the spatial distribution of the population are illustrated for each city throughout the country. With this analysis, it was possible to identify the most populous zones according to the occupational groups in each focus zone.

COVID-19 Mapping Project

It is with great satisfaction that I share the closure of the COVID-19 map project that I developed! It was an incredible journey developing since 2021 a tool that visualized the evolution of cases on an interactive map.

            Download and organize each Covid 19 data in a excel table.

        note left of State1 : Design the representation
A database was developed to store this data and then connected to the QuantumGIS environment, it was possible to update the information just by typing the day of publication of the data. After that, it was enough just to update the data and the map is automatically represented using the previously created layout.
