Intersecting a GeoDataFrame with a Polygon

Combining the land use dataset and the districts dataset, we can now investigate what the land use is in a certain district.

For that, we first need to determine the intersection of the land use dataset with a given district. Let's take again the Muette district as example case.

The land use and districts datasets have already been imported as land_use and districts, and the Muette district has been extracted into the muette shapely polygon. Further, GeoPandas and matplotlib are imported.

Anleitung zur Übung

  • Calculate the intersection of the land_use polygons with the single muette polygon. Call the result land_use_muette.
  • Make a quick plot of this intersection, and pass edgecolor='black' to more clearly see the boundaries of the different polygons.
  • Print the first five rows of land_use_muette.

# Print the land use datset and Notre-Dame district polygon
print(land_use.head())
print(type(muette))

# Calculate the intersection of the land use polygons with Notre Dame
land_use_muette = ____

# Plot the intersection
land_use_muette.____
plt.show()

# Print the first five rows of the intersection
print(land_use_muette.____)
