SPAtial join in qgis using mmqgis plugin




Doc1-001

Task
To perform a spatial join between a point feature layer and a polygon feature layer in QGIS using MMQGIS plugin. Spatial Join will merge the two layers into a single shapefile and also join the contents of their attribute tables.

Spatial Join is very useful in the event that the User would like to perform a query, selection or operation  that would need attributes of both features. For example, wanting to know how many primary schools are in a particular region where the schools are point features and the regions polygons. We will take an exercise on that in latter postings.
