eMAPS Score QGIS Plugin is a plugin for QGIS that evaluates microscales of pedestrian environments. It uses eMAPS surveys to collect data, configure score calculations, and convert them into passing evaluations, with analysis at the street segment level. Developed to implement the MAPS protocol, this plugin facilitates in-depth urban planning investigations. We share this tool to assist researchers, students and urban planners in the evaluation and planning of more accessible and walkable cities.
eMAPS Score QGIS Plugin solves the complexity of evaluating pedestrian environments at the microscale, providing an accurate tool to collect and analyze urban data, facilitating inclusive urban planning.
eMAPS Score Calculation: Allows users to calculate eMAPS scores based on spatial data. Spatial Analysis Tools: Provides a range of spatial analysis tools to support decision-making. Data Visualization: Enables users to visualize geospatial data and analysis results in QGIS. Export and Reporting: Supports exporting analysis results and generating reports for stakeholders. Customization: Allows users to customize analysis parameters and workflows. Integration: Seamlessly integrates with the QGIS interface for a user-friendly experience. Geospatial Data Support: Works with various geospatial data formats and sources.
Developed as a plugin for QGIS, it leverages this widely used open-source GIS software. Utilizes Python as its main language, ensuring efficiency and flexibility. Employs geospatial analysis libraries like GDAL/OGR and Numpy for advanced operations. Uses QT Framework to create an intuitive graphical user interface. Ensures compatibility with multiple QGIS versions, facilitating adoption. Provides comprehensive documentation for users and developers.
