Dear Students, Attached are materials to assist you with your GIS data processing and analysis. Please remember that the GIS Tutorial is also installed with the GIS Software (ArcGIS) which can also be of further assistance to you as you process and analyze your Gis data. As I have repeatedly informed you, the GIS software - ArcGIS is required for this part of the project and you must use the Lab (CBEIS 257) or the open lab (CBEIS 352). All students must request access to CBEIS 257 in advance via email only. No late report will be accepted, and all presentation are fixed (see date and time in the Activities schedule). Thanks. Dr. Fred Wilson CEGR110_GIS_Ter m_Project_Body... CEGR110_GIS_Ter m_Project_Data P... PDF PDF PDF PDF BODY OF TERM PROJECT REPORT (F.K. Wilson) Theme: Enhancing a major highway. Title: (Make a title based on your selected theme). Body of the Report: Please find out what is a report. The body of your report should be 5 pages (4 plus written pages plus a cover page). The Font/Size - Times New Roman/12. Line Spacing - Single; Margins - Normal (1” around). I. INTRODUCTION Write an introduction about your Term Project in general (about 1/2 a page). II. STUDY AREA Your study area is the county in Maryland selected, and is important to write something about your study area. Readers would like to get some idea about your study area; write about 1/2 a page, and include a figure/map) of your study area. III. DATA Your data (County, LULC, Road, Soil, and Stream) for this Term Project would be GIS coverages acquired/obtained by you (site to search include SHA, USGS, Dept. of Planning). Write something about your data (each of the GIS coverages acquired) so that your readers would be able get an idea of your dataset (importance of each coverage). IV. METHOD (please use your notes, the ArcGIS Tutorial, & emailed materials) You will be using the GIS methodologies including some procedures (Recodes, Buffer, and Overlay) to analyze the data. Please save your analysis (use "Save As”, and navigate to your Workspace and save in your CEGR 110 folder and USB Drive as well). V. RESULTS and CONCLUSION Please read about Results and Conclusion. Use your analysis results for your result section. Make figures of the data/analyzed coverage(s) and save in JPEG format. You should also make a table of some attribute (ex. your LULC/Soil types - say, Table 1) and use in your write-up. In conclusion, write something about this project and its outcomes? How important was the project in your county? Reference (following the Results and Conclusion) Please check out what is a reference. The materials used in conduction this project must be listed including your Textbook, other books, other GIS books/papers/periodicals, and web sites used in your project. Please note that for this report, it should be about a quarter of a page or less. Appendix (a separate page following your Report – page 6) Please find out what appendix is and how it can be used. Please note that for this report, it should be about 2 pages. 3 of 3 HINTS TO HELP IN YOUR WRITING By asking yourself some questions such as listed below and coming up with the answers will help you write your report. Just imagine you are talking to someone about what you did. Use the third person singular such as (i) “ArcGIS was used for this analysis/term project" or (ii) “An overlay procedure was conducted, using Roads and LULC coverages". The 4 Ws and H: 1. What? - Title (informs about the project) 2. Why? - - Justification (importance of the project/task) 3. Where? – Study Area (where project was conducted) 4. When? - Time Period Covered (LULC/Demo date) 5. How? - Method (processes involved) GIS DATA PROCESSING & ANALYSIS (F.K Wilson). NOTE: The following is to assist you with your GIS data processing and analysis. Once you have selected the major highway in your county for enhancement, you should then determine the GIS procedures that you want to use to analyze the GIS data (Road, LULC, Soil, and Stream). You must use the GIS software ArcGIS for your GIS processing and analysis. In order to use CBEIS 257, student must obtain permission in advance via email from me. ArcGIS is also installed in CBEIS 352 (an open lab). As you proceed with your processing/analysis, do not forget to use "Save As” and navigate to your “workspace or USB Drive" and save your work Project. I. Select Use the GIS geo-analysis tool “Select” to choose the highway to be enhanced. Identify all relevant attributes (Name, Length, Surface Materials, Width, # Lanes, Ave. Width of Lanes, Median (Y/N), Median Type, Median Width, # Bridges, Bridge Locations, # Underpass/Overpass, Underpass/Overpass Locations, and Others). II. Buffer Use “Buffer" to create a desired buffer distance/zone around the selected highway. (ex. 100 ft – to accommodate the necessary 8+2 lanes proposed). You will determine the size of the buffer zone you need. III. Clip Use “Clip” to create a LULC/Soil Clip Coverages of the areas around the selected highway; a Polygon Coverage will be always be obtained. IV.Overlay Use "Overlay” to determine the relationships between different feature/coverages to enable assessment of your enhancement (qualitative cost assessment and feasibility aspects as well). Ex. What is the relationship between Road and the LULC/Soil coverages? You would like to know the area/extent the enhanced road will cover on the LULC/Soil coverages to determine their suitability or not.
