Lecture 3 MAP AUDIENCES 4
Two categories of audience General Public Purpose: communication or information look-up Frequency of use: low and irregular Geographic knowledge: general Trained Analyst Purpose: exploration identification and diagnosis of spatial patterns (problems) Frequency of use: high and regular Geographic knowledge: special 5
Map audiences Map use: Exploration Presentation Audience: Trained analyst General public Purpose: Visual thinking Communication Advantages: Graphical Believable Granularity: Fine Coarse Symbols: Abstract Mimetic capital railroad 6
Lecture 3 MAP LAYOUTS 7
Layout example 1 Map most prominent element Map title and subtitle -what, where, and when Legend - no need to label it Legend Data sources Date - date data collected Map author (optional) 8
Layout example 2 Graphic scale -on large scale maps North arrow -not always necessary Neatline -rectangular boundary Other elements -Data sources -Inset maps -Data tables -Charts -Photographs 9
Layout Example 3 Multiple Maps Same: Sizes, positions Scales (map and numeric) Projection Color ramps 10
Bad layout 11
Good layout 12
Lecture 3 REPORTS AND GRAPHS 13
Create a report Select records for a report 14
Add report to layout 15
Create a graph 16
Create a graph 17
Lecture 3 MAP SCALES 18
Map scales Map scale ratios Dimensionless Used with any linear measurement unit, such as feet, meters, or miles Example, 1:24,000 Representative fraction 1 inch on the map is 24,000 inches on the ground (or 2,000 feet) 19
Map scales 1:10,000 is large scale 1:100,000,000 is small scale 20
Scale 1:100,000 Scale 21
Scale 1:24,000 22
Scale 1:10,000 23
Map units Feet or meters is the map unit for most local government GIS applications 24
Lecture 3 INTERACTIVE MAP 25
Example: Decision support for police Detection scan entire jurisdiction for problems/opportunities Where are there large numbers of burglaries? Large increases in burglaries expected? Diagnosis drill down to details for problem solving Analyze patterns of leading indicator crimes that are predictive of future burglaries
General elements of decision support system Keep event-data layers (usually product or service demand) up to date Provide enterprise-level choropleth maps for product/service demand level and change for detection and forecasting Provide large-scale map layers with individual demand points for diagnosis Uses visible scale range to turn detailed layers on when zoomed in 27
Detection: high burglary levels
Detection: large changes in burglaries
Diagnosis: drill down to current burglary and leading indicator crimes
Lecture 3 MAP ANIMATION 31
Create animation Crimes over time Set time properties 32
Animation properties Time slider window and options 33
Play animation CAD Calls Context shows recent historical crime points CAD Calls shows current crime points Combination of two layers shows emerging, persisting, and extinguishing spatial crime clusters 34
Lecture 3 ARCGIS ONLINE 35
ArcServer software for online maps Organization must have own server and computer programmers Expensive to install and maintain See demos at http://www.esri.com/apps/showcase/index.cfm?f a=showcase&startrow=126&tech=arcgis 36
ArcGIS Online Web service hosted by Esri on Esri servers www.arcgis.com Versions Free for individuals using standard interface Subscription web service for organizations Allows customization of look and structure Can imbed into organization web site 37
Process for individuals 1. Get free accounts at Esri 2. Create local map layers in ArcGIS Desktop and upload to ArcGIS Online for use in your online maps 3. Author and provide access to map compositions in ArcGIS Online using your local and ArcGIS Online map layers 4. Upload layer packages (file with data and symbolization) from ArcGIS Desktop to your ArcGIS Online account (up to 2GB) for sharing with others 38
Sample ArcGIS Online individual map Viewed in browser over the Internet Uses Schools and Neighborhoods created in ArcGIS Desktop Uses basemap with topography and roads from ArcGIS Online 39
