Hello everyone! I'm Justine Domingo from the Philippines, currently a 4th-year architecture student. I recently discovered GIS and am fascinated by it! I first learned about it during a convention at the World Trade Center in Manila, where they discussed geospatial analysis using drones for surveying and mapping data. It was incredibly interesting!
With the recent showcase of the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (noah.up.edu.ph), I believe this is the first user-friendly public website developed here in the Philippines. GIS has proven to be incredibly useful for everyone, helping people better understand hazard-related data and mapping information.
I was inspired by this to learn more about the industry. I've been struggling to find more information online—maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. That's why I thought I'd reach out to this forum. Since many of you are seasoned veterans in this field, could you share some insights on how to get started in GIS? Is it something primarily for those with geodetic or related engineering degrees, or can it also be learned through webinars, seminars, and other resources? Thanks so much for your help & Nice meeting y'all
