Dear Thej, there is not much of a howto - I took my polling booth locality shapefiles (https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/data/2674065) as well as the MODIS data that is available in convenient format from Naturalearth (https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/data/2674065), put both into QGIS, and used their 'Join attributes by location' function. That's that. A somewhat more involved processing chain underpins the polling booth shapefile as such - all described in the link above...
Srini could probably chip in with more detail on how he ran the analysis per se? Hope that helps, Raphael On 12/08/2017 07:30 AM, Thejesh GN wrote: > > > http://www.thehindu.com/elections/gujarat-2017/voting-trends-show-a-clear-rural-urban-divide-for-cong-bjp-in-gujarat/article21285328.ece > > > > Interesting considering both Susewind and Ramani are part of DataMeet > community.
