Create the polygon<br />

of the village<br />

boundary<br />

Photo georeferencing<br />

the attribute table (right click on<br />

the layer and select Open attribute<br />

table) of a layer containing the<br />

target village location (here the<br />

layer Villages_pts_proj). Then left<br />

click on the identification number<br />

of the line containing the target<br />

village location. Then click on<br />

• Click on Plugins/Georeferencer<br />

point (village, river crossing...)<br />

• On the window popping-up, click on<br />

‘From map canvas’<br />

•A few rules to improve the accuracy<br />

of the georeferencing:<br />

1. Have a large number of points<br />

(but not too much otherwise it<br />

can take times)<br />

2. Have points spread from one another.<br />

•When done, click on Start georeferencing.<br />

•Press OK on the pop-up window<br />

•Set a linear transformation type<br />

•Select a location for your output<br />

raster.<br />

•Define the reference system (UTM/<br />

WGS84 Zone 48N)<br />

• Left click on the same point from<br />

the existing layers (village, river...)<br />

• Press OK and repeat the process at<br />

least 3-4 times<br />

•Tick Load in QGIS box<br />

•Press OK<br />

•Then the raster is now added to<br />

the layer toolbar.
