This dataset holds all materials for the Inform E-learning GIS course

This is a full-day training, developed by UNEP CMB, to introduce participants to the basics of GIS, how to import points from Excel to a GIS, and how to make maps with QGIS, MapX and Tableau. It prioritizes the use of free and open software.

This vector dataset provides points that represent significant golf course facility locations in Suffolk County. These courses can be publicly (State, County, Town, Village) or privately owned. This dataset can be linked with the GolfCoursePolygon feature class by the FACILITYID field. In some cases, there may be multiple Golf Course Points for a single Golf Course Polygon. These data are organized for consumption in desktop and web applications.

One important reason for performing GIS analysis is to determine proximity. Often, this type of analysis is done using vector data and possibly the Buffer or Near tools. In this course, you will learn how to calculate distance using raster datasets as inputs in order to assign cells a value based on distance to the nearest source (e.g., city, campground). You will also learn how to allocate cells to a particular source and to determine the compass direction from a cell in a raster to a source.What if you don't want to just measure the straight line from one place to another? What if you need to determine the best route to a destination, taking speed limits, slope, terrain, and road conditions into consideration? In cases like this, you could use the cost distance tools in order to assign a cost (such as time) to each raster cell based on factors like slope and speed limit. From these calculations, you could create a least-cost path from one place to another. Because these tools account for variables that could affect travel, they can help you determine that the shortest path may not always be the best path.After completing this course, you will be able to:Create straight-line distance, direction, and allocation surfaces.Determine when to use Euclidean and weighted distance tools.Perform a least-cost path analysis.

Have you ever wanted to create your own maps, or integrate and visualize spatial datasets to examine changes in trends between locations and over time? Follow along with these training tutorials on QGIS, an open source geographic information system (GIS) and learn key concepts, procedures and skills for performing common GIS tasks – such as creating maps, as well as joining, overlaying and visualizing spatial datasets. These tutorials are geared towards new GIS users. We’ll start with foundational concepts, and build towards more advanced topics throughout – demonstrating how with a few relatively easy steps you can get quite a lot out of GIS. You can then extend these skills to datasets of thematic relevance to you in addressing tasks faced in your day-to-day work.

Last update: September 9, 2022This polygon dataset represents golf course locations within the state of Utah. It should be noted that this is based on the Utah Golf Association's website list of golf courses, golf course websites, and other public data and may be incomplete. This dataset also contains the name, city, number of holes, par, and type of golf course.

I’d love to begin by saying that I have not “arrived” as I believe I am still on a journey of self-discovery. I have heard people say that they find my journey quite interesting and I hope my story inspires someone out there.I had my first encounter with Geographic Information System (GIS) in the third year of my undergraduate study in Geography at the University of Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria. I was opportune to be introduced to the essentials of GIS by one of the prominent Environmental and Urban Geographers in person of Dr O.J Taiwo. Even though the whole syllabus and teaching sounded abstract to me due to the little exposure to a practical hands-on approach to GIS software, I developed a keen interest in the theoretical learning and I ended up scoring 70% in my final course exam.

HEPGIS is a web-based interactive geographic map server that allows users to navigate and view geo-spatial data, print maps, and obtain data on specific features using only a web browser. It includes geo-spatial data used for transportation planning. HEPGIS previously received ARRA funding for development of Economically distressed Area maps. It is also being used to demonstrate emerging trends to address MPO and statewide planning regulations/requirements , enhanced National Highway System, Primary Freight Networks, commodity flows and safety data . HEPGIS has been used to help implement MAP-21 regulations and will help implement the Grow America Act, particularly related to Ladder of Opportunities and MPO reforms.

Bear River Data Model GIS Standards Training Webinar (Nov. 15, 2017)

In successful geoinformatics education, students’ active role in the learning process, e.g. through applying self-assessment, show an increasing interest but the evidence of benefits and challenges of self-assessment are sporadic. In this article, we examine the usefulness of an online self-assessment tool developed for geoinformatics education. We gathered data in two Finnish universities on five courses (n = 11–73 students/course) between 2019 and 2021. We examined 1) how the students’ self-assessed knowledge and understanding in geoinformatics subject topics changed during a course, 2) how the competencies at the end of a course changed between the years in different courses, and 3) what was the perceived usefulness of the self-assessment approach among the students. The results indicate support for the implementation of self-assessment, both as a formative and summative assessment. However, it is crucial to ensure that the students understand the contents of the self-assessment subject topics. To increase students’ motivation to take a self-assessment, it is crucial that the teacher actively highlights how it supports their studying and learning. As the teachers of the examined courses, we discuss the benefits and challenges of the self-assessment approach and the applied tool for the future development of geoinformatics education.

What do you need to do with your GIS data? Do you need to create earthquake hazard maps, find a location for your new business, or locate municipal utility lines? Perhaps you need to integrate your organization's data into a single system that will streamline resource management.At the core of all these projects lies the need to represent and store data in a way that supports meaningful, accurate analysis and organizational workflows. The geodatabase is the native data storage format for ArcGIS. It offers many advantages for modeling, analyzing, managing, and maintaining GIS data.With a geodatabase, you can create GIS features that mimic real-world feature behavior, apply sophisticated rules and relationships between features, and access all of your data from a centralized location. This course introduces the basic components of the geodatabase that will allow you to begin organizing your data to meet your GIS project needs.After completing this course, you will be able to:Describe the components of the geodatabase.Create geodatabase schema.Design and create a geodatabase.

Municipal Parks and Landmark features for the City of Detroit. Includes golf courses, City Airport and civic plazas. Does not include all school parks, unless they are maintained by Detroit Parks and Rec. This layer was developed by Data Driven Detroit by adding to a GIS file that was provided by the City in 2010. Some parks in the file may have been "abandoned" and are not maintained any longer.
