This dataset represents point locations of cities and towns in Arizona. The data contains point locations for incorporated cities, Census Designated Places and populated places. Several data sets were used as inputs to construct this data set. A subset of the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) national dataset for the state of Arizona was used for the base location of most of the points. Polygon files of the Census Designated Places (CDP), from the U.S. Census Bureau and an incorporated city boundary database developed and maintained by the Arizona State Land Department were also used for reference during development. Every incorporated city is represented by a point, originally derived from GNIS. Some of these points were moved based on local knowledge of the GIS Analyst constructing the data set. Some of the CDP points were also moved and while most CDP's of the Census Bureau have one point location in this data set, some inconsistencies were allowed in order to facilitate the use of the data for mapping purposes. Population estimates were derived from data collected during the 2010 Census. During development, an additional attribute field was added to provide additional functionality to the users of this data. This field, named 'DEF_CAT', implies definition category, and will allow users to easily view, and create custom layers or datasets from this file. For example, new layers may created to include only incorporated cities (DEF_CAT = Incorporated), Census designated places (DEF_CAT = Incorporated OR DEF_CAT = CDP), or all cities that are neither CDP's or incorporated (DEF_CAT= Other). This data is current as of February 2012. At this time, there is no planned maintenance or update process for this dataset.This data is created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning, reference, and analysis purposes. This data does not represent a legal record.

The Long Island Sound Study developed these digital data from 1:100,000-scale National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps as a general reference to the depth of water in Long Island Sound. In 1996, these data were digitized from paper maps by the Long Island Sound Study (http://www.longislandsoundstudy.net) and incorporated into a Long Island Sound GIS database. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:100,000 scale (1 inch = 1,578 feet.) Dataset credit: Applied Geographics, Inc. of Boston, Massachussets was contracted by the Long Island Sound Study to automate and digitize these bathymetry data for Long Island Sound. Linda Bischoff, GIS Analyst, digitized the data and created the orginal metadata.

Data set that contains information on archaeological remains of the pre historic settlement of the Letolo valley on Savaii on Samoa. It is built in ArcMap from ESRI and is based on previously unpublished surveys made by the Peace Corps Volonteer Gregory Jackmond in 1976-78, and in a lesser degree on excavations made by Helene Martinsson Wallin and Paul Wallin. The settlement was in use from at least 1000 AD to about 1700- 1800. Since abandonment it has been covered by thick jungle. However by the time of the survey by Jackmond (1976-78) it was grazed by cattle and the remains was visible. The survey is at file at Auckland War Memorial Museum and has hitherto been unpublished. A copy of the survey has been accessed by Olof Håkansson through Martinsson Wallin and Wallin and as part of a Masters Thesis in Archeology at Uppsala University it has been digitised.

Olof Håkansson has built the data base structure in the software from ESRI, and digitised the data in 2015 to 2017. One of the aims of the Masters Thesis was to discuss hierarchies. To do this, subsets of the data have been displayed in various ways on maps. Another aim was to discuss archaeological methodology when working with spatial data, but the data in itself can be used without regard to the questions asked in the Masters Thesis. All data that was unclear has been removed in an effort to avoid errors being introduced. Even so, if there is mistakes in the data set it is to be blamed on the researcher, Olof Håkansson. A more comprehensive account of the aim, questions, purpose, method, as well the results of the research, is to be found in the Masters Thesis itself.

Purpose:

The purpose is to examine hierarchies in prehistoric Samoa. The purpose is further to make the produced data sets available for study.

The risk of natural disasters, many of which are amplified by climate change, requires the protection of emergency evacuation routes to permit evacuees safe passage. California has recognized the need through the AB 747 Planning and Zoning Law, which requires each county and city in California to update their - general plans to include safety elements from unreasonable risks associated with various hazards, specifically evacuation routes and their capacity, safety, and viability under a range of emergency scenarios. These routes must be identified in advance and maintained so they can support evacuations. Today, there is a lack of a centralized database of the identified routes or their general assessment. Consequently, this proposal responds to Caltrans’ research priority for “GIS Mapping of Emergency Evacuation Routes.” Specifically, the project objectives are: 1) create a centralized GIS database, by collecting and compiling available evacuation route GIS layers, and the safety element of the evacuation routes from different jurisdictions as well as their use in various types of evacuation scenarios such as wildfire, flooding, or landslides. 2) Perform network analyses and modeling based on the team’s experience with road network performance, access restoration, and critical infrastructure modeling, for a set of case studies, as well as, assessing their performance considering the latest evacuation research. 3) Analyze how well current bus and rail routes align with evacuation routes; and for a series of case studies, using data from previous evacuations, evaluate how well aligned the safety elements of the emerging plans are, relative to previous evacuation routes. And 4) analyze different metrics about the performance of the evacuation routes for different segments of the population (e.g., elderly, mobility constrained, non-vehicle households, and disadvantaged communities). The database and assessments will help inform infrastructure investment decisions and to develop recommendations on how best to maintain State transportation assets and secure safe evacuation routes, as they will identify the road segments with the largest impact on the evacuation route/network performance. The project will deliver a GIS of the compiled plans, a report summarizing the creation of the database and the analyses and will make a final presentation of the study results. Methods The project used the following public datasets: • Open Street Map. The team collected the road network arcs and nodes of the selected localities and the team will make public the graph used for each locality. • National Risk Index (NRI): The team used the NRI obtained publicly from FEMA at the census tract level. • American Community Survey (ACS): The team used ACS data to estimate the Social Vulnerability Index at the census block level. Then the author developed a measurement to estimate the road network performance risk at the node level, by estimating the Hansen accessibility index, betweenness centrality and the NRI. Create a set of CSV files with the risk for more than 450 localities in California, on around 18 natural hazards. I also have graphs of the RNP risk at the regional level showing the directionality of the risk.

This dataset combines the work of several different projects to create a seamless data set for the contiguous United States. Data from four regional Gap Analysis Projects and the LANDFIRE project were combined to make this dataset. In the northwestern United States (Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and Wyoming) data in this map came from the Northwest Gap Analysis Project. In the southwestern United States (Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah) data used in this map came from the Southwest Gap Analysis Project. The data for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia came from the Southeast Gap Analysis Project and the California data was generated by the updated California Gap land cover project. The Hawaii Gap Analysis project provided the data for Hawaii. In areas of the county (central U.S., Northeast, Alaska) that have not yet been covered by a regional Gap Analysis Project, data from the Landfire project was used. Similarities in the methods used by these projects made possible the combining of the data they derived into one seamless coverage. They all used multi-season satellite imagery (Landsat ETM+) from 1999-2001 in conjunction with digital elevation model (DEM) derived datasets (e.g. elevation, landform) to model natural and semi-natural vegetation. Vegetation classes were drawn from NatureServe's Ecological System Classification (Comer et al. 2003) or classes developed by the Hawaii Gap project. Additionally, all of the projects included land use classes that were employed to describe areas where natural vegetation has been altered. In many areas of the country these classes were derived from the National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD). For the majority of classes and, in most areas of the country, a decision tree classifier was used to discriminate ecological system types. In some areas of the country, more manual techniques were used to discriminate small patch systems and systems not distinguishable through topography. The data contains multiple levels of thematic detail. At the most detailed level natural vegetation is represented by NatureServe's Ecological System classification (or in Hawaii the Hawaii GAP classification). These most detailed classifications have been crosswalked to the five highest levels of the National Vegetation Classification (NVC), Class, Subclass, Formation, Division and Macrogroup. This crosswalk allows users to display and analyze the data at different levels of thematic resolution. Developed areas, or areas dominated by introduced species, timber harvest, or water are represented by other classes, collectively refered to as land use classes; these land use classes occur at each of the thematic levels. Raster data in both ArcGIS Grid and ERDAS Imagine format is available for download at http://gis1.usgs.gov/csas/gap/viewer/land_cover/Map.aspx Six layer files are included in the download packages to assist the user in displaying the data at each of the Thematic levels in ArcGIS. In adition to the raster datasets the data is available in Web Mapping Services (WMS) format for each of the six NVC classification levels (Class, Subclass, Formation, Division, Macrogroup, Ecological System) at the following links. http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Class_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Subclass_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Formation_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Division_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_NVC_Macrogroup_Landuse/MapServer http://gis1.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/gap/GAP_Land_Cover_Ecological_Systems_Landuse/MapServer
