Abstract: In this intermediate-level GIS investigation, students will learn about tools and techniques for integrating data having spatial attributes into a geographic information system (GIS). ArcGIS allows users to visualize data organized by geography or having latitude/longitude coordinates, i.e. originating with a Global Positioning System or in tabular (spreadsheet) format. Mapped data can then be examined geographically and combined with other spatial data. The investigation is also suitable for University-level students and others in that environment with novice or intermediate GIS skills. The lesson uses street, store location, parks, schools, and Census data for small region in Kansas, USA.
Description: Associated GIS datasets are also available in ScholarWorks.
