The work provides an interactive map interface for visualizing mangrove farm locations across Ghana's Volta Region. It combines geospatial and web technologies to create an accessible platform for visualizing mangrove farm distributions ## Introduction This repository demonstrates a Web GIS application that displays mangrove farm locations in the Volta Region of Ghana using a Leaflet map. The project uses PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension for spatial data storage, FastAPI for the backend API, and Leaflet.js for the interactive web map interface. This implementation serves as a foundation for understanding core Web GIS concepts and spatial data management. ## Setup To set up the project, you will need to install the dependencies as specified in the requirements.txt file You can install these dependencies using pip: ``` pip install -r requirements.txt ``` Next, you will need to create a PostgreSQL database and set up the necessary table. You can use the `setup.py` script to create the new geodatabase, postgis extention, a schema, a table, and finally import the geodata into the geodatabase. ## Running the project To run the project, you will need to start the FastAPI server. You can do this using the following command: ``` uvicorn main:app --reload ``` This will start the server and you can access the map at `localhost`. ## Contributing If you would like to contribute to this project, please feel free to submit a pull request.
