Aims and Learning Outcomes

The GIS Report assessment is related to aims and learning outcomes of the UPD204 module. Students who complete this assessment successfully should be able to:

A. apply the practical uses of GIS to real-world problem solving;

B. demonstrate the basic methods of spatial analysis; C. assess issues relating to data quality and GIS use; D. illustrate trends in the development of GIS;

E. manipulate spatial data; and,

F. operate the basics of GIS software.

Task

You have been appointed to a research post at a local GIS research institute of your city. Your research team has just started a planning project to support local policy making and needs to conduct a case study on how to apply GIS to spatial planning at the city scale. In your final report, you are required to deliver a spatial planning practice by conducting a GIS analysis using city-level spatial data. You should explain, and your report should demonstrate:

●   a spatial analysis practice of your own using available GIS data, for example, POI data, road network, census data, land cover data, etc. (for an international student, you can choose your hometown or another city you are familiar with as a case study); and, ●   the process and result of spatial analysis that you have conducted.

You also have to attach assignments from three Practical Sessions as the appendix (1 page each). Details of each assignment will be provided in class.

Guidelines

In order to conduct the spatial analysis using GIS data available:

(1) you can use the available Chinese dataset in the \UPD204\Data\China\ folder;

(2) you may download various dataset (*) for which you can access through:

① General Statistic Database (China):

https://libguides.lib.xjtlu.edu.cn/c.php?g=520529&p=3559901

② China Boundaries Data (gadm.org): on Learning Mall shown as below

 

③ Suzhou GIS Data (from Open Street Map): on Learning Mall Shown as below:

 

Note: GIS data for China from Open Street Map could be downloaded from:

https://box.xjtlu.edu.cn/f/dbb36dd20da64ee980f9/?dl=1

④ Suzhou Land Cover Data (from ESRI): on Learning Mall Shown as below:

 

Note: Global Land Cover Data 2017-2023 from ESRI could be downloaded from

https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/landcover/

*Note: For datasets at national or global scale, please try to process the original dataset and extract the data that is suitable for your study area. More dataset might be available and would be uploaded to LMO. Please double-check the data list on LMO.

(3) you may also explore more geographic data available on the Internet (you must cite date sources), for example

http://libguides.lib.xjtlu.edu.cn/GIS/OpenGeo-Resources http://libguides.lib.xjtlu.edu.cn/GIS/Geo-DataAccess http://www.beijingcitylab.com/data-released-1/ http://www.gadm.org/download_world (*) http://www.gadm.org/download_country_v3 (*) http://www.openstreetmap.org http://www.gscloud.cn/sources/index?pid=1&rootid=1 (In Chinese) http://worldmap.harvard.edu/chinamap/ (*) https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/hrs http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/china.html https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/M7WEFY http://www.stats.gov.cn/ http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~chgis/ http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/view/all/where/China http://freegisdata.rtwilson.com/ http://www.dbr.nu/data/geo/ (*) http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~chgis/data/chgis/downloads/v4/ Note: (*) indicates the site settings of the webpage are probably required to be adjusted first, such as the site settings of Flash, Pop-ups and redirects, Ads, Insecure Content, etc when using the Chrome.

In ArcCatalog, you should create a new working folder called “Coursework” under the “\UPD204\MyAssessments\” folder. You must store all GIS data and ArcGIS files in the “Coursework” folder in order to allow the module examiner to access your original files when necessary.

You should design your own spatial analysis in considering: what the purpose of your spatial analysis is; why it is important; and how the analysis can be conducted. The outcome of your spatial analysis can include, but not limited to:

(1) a choropleth map that shows the spatial variation of a socio-demographic or

environmental attribute (i.e. the elderly, greenspace, etc.) of your city at different spatial scales (i.e., districts, sub-districts, etc.);

(2) a map that illustrates the suitable locations for a new public facility (i.e., fire stations, schools, talent apartments, etc.);

(3) a measurement of spatial patterns using points of interest and spatial autocorrelation analysis; and so on.

You must also pay attention to the map design in order to communicate the analysis results with your audience, policy maker.

Assessment Criteria

There are three marking criteria for the assignment:
