Geocoding

This week on GIS (5043), the lab focus on data between excel and ArcGIS.  Specifically the lab required taking school data of Brevard County, Florida, adding and organizing it to excel, then apply it to ArcGIS.  Additionally, the lab focused on locating and matching schools to appropriate location using street addresses and physical matching for schools that did not automatically match.  The finish product can be viewed on ArcGIS online at the http://arcg.is/0KG0Oz website.

Vector Analysis

This lab worked with and modifying vector data.  Specifically, we worked with creating buffer of water and roads, then using the Union function to join the items, and removing area with Erase that overlapped with Conservation area.  The areas were then divided by gradual colors to divide by sizes of possible campsites.  The sizes ranges was less than or equal to 160 hectares was black, navy color was between 160 to 320 hectares, between 320 to 480 hectares was color gray, brown had a hectare range of 480 to 640, and yellow was 640 to 800 hectares.  Roads were defined as the red lines, with water being the blue sections.  Lastly, a map of Mississippi was included to show position of De Soto National Forest within the state.  The star located in the bottom left represents its location within Mississippi.
