Do you want to learn how to create Voronoi polygons in @qgis ? You have a dataset of cellular towers locations in a city, and you want to create Voronoi polygons to visualize the coverage areas of each tower.Follow this step-by-step guide. #gischat

1- Prepare your data:

Import your cellular towers locations dataset as a point layer in QGIS.

Make sure your point layer has a unique identifier for each tower.

2-Create Voronoi polygons:

Go to "Vector" > "Geometry Tools" > "Voronoi Polygons".

Select your point layer as the "Input layer".

Choose an appropriate name and location for your output Voronoi polygon layer.

Click "Run" to generate the Voronoi polygons.

3-Styling and analysis:

Style the Voronoi polygons layer as desired, for example, by coloring each polygon based on its corresponding tower identifier.

Use the Voronoi polygons layer for analysis, such as determining which areas of the city have the best coverage.

Real-life applications of Voronoi polygons:

In urban planning, Voronoi polygons can be used to analyze the accessibility of public services such as hospitals or schools.

In ecology, Voronoi polygons can be used to study the distribution of species or habitats.

Real-life applications of Voronoi polygons:

In retail, Voronoi polygons can be used to analyze the market areas of stores and determine where to open new stores.

In transportation, Voronoi polygons can be used to analyze the catchment areas of transit stops or terminals.

Real-life applications of Voronoi polygons:

In meteorology, Voronoi polygons can be used to study the spatial distribution of weather stations and estimate weather patterns in areas with no data.

Start creating Voronoi polygons in QGIS and explore the endless possibilities.
