Geodjango Presentation

GeoDjango is a Django module designed for creating geographic web applications, requiring additional components like Python, Django, a spatial database (PostGIS), and geospatial libraries (GDAL). Spatial databases are optimized for storing and querying spatial objects such as points, lines, and polygons. PostGIS enhances PostgreSQL with spatial capabilities, allowing for the storage and manipulation of geographic data.

What is GeoDjango?

GeoDjango is an included django contrib module that can be used to create a world-class
geographic web framework. GeoDjango makes it as simple as possible to create geographic web
applications, like location-based services.
GeoDjango Installation
In order to work with GeoDjango, we need some additional requirements
beyond what Django requires:

1. Python and Django


2. Spatial database (PostGIS)
3. Geospatial libraries (GDAL)
What is Spatial database?
Spacial database is a database system that is optimized to store and query the spatial objects.

• Point: a house, a moving car, a tree, these are the points


• Line/Polyline: river, cable, road
• Polygon: a country, forest, lake, city
Spatial Database Support
PostGIS extension to PostgreSQL database

PostGIS is a free, open-source extension that adds spatial data capabilities to PostgreSQL databases.

PostGIS allows you to store spatial data and use its library of functions to manipulate it. A database
with PostGIS can store geographic coordinates, lines, and shapes and query them using spatial
functions.
Install Geospatial library (GDAL)

GDAL is a collection of tools to read and manipulate geospatial data.
