7 Readings Longley, Paul A., Michael F. Goodchild, David J. Maguire, David W. Rhind Geographic Information Systems and Science, (John Wiley & Sons) Optional: Ormsby, T., Napoleon, E., Burke, R., Groessl, C., and L. Feaster Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop. Redlands, CA: ESRI Press (Includes ArcGIS valid for 180 days) Other materials distributed in class or available on the web (Check links on syllabus)
8 Course Schedule 1. Introduction 2. Principles of GIS Nature of spatial data Georeferencing 3. Techniques Spatial data models Spatial databases 4. Analysis Visualization and cartography Spatial analysis techniques Spatial models and applications 5. Policy, Planning and Management
9 How this course fits in overall General Introduction to GIS No background necessary Unlike courses in HSPH, GSD or Anthropology material covered is not discipline dependent In Spring 2008: ES103 Spatial Analysis More in spatial statistics and modeling Assumes statistics background Topics are predetermined Gov1009 Advanced Workshop No quantitative background but introductory GIS background needed Topics explored will depend on student interests Other courses to look at Biostatistics (HSPH) and Statistics (FAS) offer Spatial Statistics in Spring
10 Outline Course description Objectives, lecture format, evaluation and project, schedule Course overview What is GIS?
11 Overview Outline What is GIS? Vocabulary Why is geographic information different? How does it combine? What is GIS? History of GIS GIS Applications Social Implications Summary
12 The Vocabulary Geographic Earth s surface and near-surface Spatial any space (including geographic) Geospatial synonymous with geographic
13 Geographic Information is: Multidimensional Voluminous Requires projection to flat surface Unique analysis methods Analyses require data integration Data updates are expensive and time consuming Map displays require fast data retrieval
14 Data, Information, Evidence, Wisdom and Knowledge Decision-making Ease of sharing Support Infrastructure Wisdom Impossible Knowledge Difficult Evidence Difficult Information Easy Data Easy
15 Geographic Information on the World How it looks Form How it works Process Knowledge about process more valuable than form, because can be used to predict GIS combines General scientific knowledge in software Specific information in databases
16 Forms of General Knowledge Classifications - eg. what is a wetland? (established rules) Rule sets - eg. how can wetlands be used, how wilderness defined Models - (Social Science or Physical Science) Social Science models may be of much lower precision
17 Problem Solving Components and stages Objective or goal - often maximize or minimize (cost, distance) Tangible (well defined scale) vs intangible - eg. quality of life, environmental impact Multiple objectives - eg. cost and environmental impact Multi-criteria decision-making techniques
18 Geographic Information System Container of maps Computerized tools for solving geographic problems Spatial decision support system Mechanized inventory of geographically distributed features and facilities Method for revealing patterns and processes in geographic information
19 Brief History of GIS s Innovation First GIS Canada Land Inventory DIME US Bureau of Census Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics Major vendors started (e.g. ESRI, Intergraph) Landsat satellite launched Key academic conferences (e.g. AutoCarto)
20 Brief History of GIS 1980, 90s Commercialization Commercial GIS software (e.g. ArcInfo) First GIS textbooks First global data sets 2000s Exploitation Internet becomes major deliver vehicle More than 1 million active users

28 Applied Problem Solving Goals Rational resource allocation Monitoring spatial distributions Understanding the importance of place Understanding processes Prescription of strategies for maintenance and conservation
29 Five Ms of Applied GIS Mapping Measuring Monitoring Modeling Managing This course Spring courses
30 Local Government Major user of GIS 70-80% of local government tasks are geographicallyrelated Many applications, e.g. Asset inventories Transportation planning Land management Economic development Elections Public health delivery
31
32 Tax Assessment Raising revenue from property taxes Maintain property register Evaluate land/property value fairly Deal with public enquiries and complaints Assign value to property based on Cost of replacement Income if rented Market comparison with recent sales
33
34 Business and Service Planning Application of GIS to retail market decision making GIS has been applied at all scales Operational processing day-to-day transactions (eg. vehicle routing) Tactical allocation of resources to short-term (weekly) problems (eg. target marketing promotional campaigns) Strategic longer term goals and missions (eg. store location planning)
35 Sears Holdings Corporation Deploys GIS Navigation and Mapping System
36 Logistics Many applications of GIS in transportation and logistics, eg. Infrastructure maintenance Travel planning Routing Vehicle tracking Two components Static infrastructure Dynamic - vehicles
37
38 Planning for Emergency Evacuation Major natural and human-induced events may necessitate area evacuations GIS can be used to create effective evacuation vulnerability maps based on Distribution of population Street map Model demand and impact of bottlenecks on speed of evacuation using standard GIS network tools Adjacency, connectivity, shortest path network calculation

40 Environment Many environmental applications of GIS Natural resource inventory Environmental remediation Sustainable development Precision agriculture Natural hazard mitigation Environmental impact analysis
41 High productivity and low emission tradeoffs in Agriculture
42 Social Implications of GIS Favors generalization, possibly at expense of minorities and individuals Use is not always neutral and can be applied to military and industrial surveillance Tendency to be technological rather than human need focused Maintains and extends the status quo of societal power structures
43
44 Growing Interest in GIS Applications via Internet Price reductions Greater awareness Improved ease of use Better technology Proliferation of data Commercial software packages Real applications Proven cost:benefit cases
45 GISystems, GIScience and GIStudies GISystems Emphasis on technology and tools GIScience Fundamental issues raised by the use of GIS and related technologies (eg.) Spatial analysis Map projections Accuracy Scientific visualization GIStudies Systematic study of the use of geographic information
46 Summary GIS is fundamentally a problem-solving science Many application of GIS across a very wide range of areas Understanding the science behind applications will help
