ArcGIS Field Map Mobile and Sharing Maps

-


In this project, I explored data collection and communication using ArcGIS Pro and Field Map Mobile, then practiced sharing the resulting map in multiple formats.

First, I used ArcGIS Pro to create a map with appropriate domains: Excellent, Fair, and Poor. Then, I created a new empty Feature Class, with fields for Condition, Notes, and a photo, leaving the projection as Web Mercator. I edited the symbology so that Excellent condition is represented by a green dot, Fair condition by an orange dot, and Poor condition by a red dot. Then, I connected to the UWF Organization to share the feature class as a web layer. From there, I created a web map from ArcGIS Online so that I could add data from Field Maps. Then, I downloaded Field Maps to my phone and collected data from an area of the UWF campus! I chose to highlight and investigate the state of sidewalks on the university campus. This is a very important issue, as sidewalks in poor condition are especially dangerous for students with disabilities; several semesters ago, a poorly maintained UWF sidewalk resulted in an emergency hospitalization of a student. I collected five data points of areas of sidewalk in various conditions, primarily in the area near and between the engineering building and Pace Library. Once I completed this step, I viewed the uploaded data in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro. Finally, I prepared sharing of my map as a Web Map, a Google Earth File, and an Esri Map Package.

Vector Analysis

  This map, made in ArcGIS, illustrates possible campsite locations in the De Soto National Forest near Hattiesburg, Mississippi. These areas are identified as being within three hundred meters of a road and within one hundred fifty meters of a lake or five hundred meters of a rivers. The regions are also color-coded into three area classes, with the darkest orange representing the areas which comprise the greatest percentage of the whole. Throughout this project, I learned how to conduct vector analysis and used a variety of geoprocessing tools to conduct complex selections based on feature attributes and distances. I created the above map using a fixed distance buffer and a variable distance buffer and performed a union of the resulting shapes, then erased designated conservation areas from the selection area.  I also analyzed a group of datasets related to Escambia County public services and superact risk features, conducting actions including using select by location to fi...

Analyzing Bobwhite-Manatee Transmission Line Planning Factors

-
    For my final GIS project, I analyzed factors involved in planning the Bobwhite-Manatee Transmission Line. In 2006, Florida Power and Light sent out a letter detailing their planning of the Bobwhite-Manatee transmission line, which crosses the Manatee-Sarasota County border. There were many issues at play in the decision-making process, and here we analyze four of them: impact of the preferred corridor on environmentally-sensitive lands, the homes and privately-owned lands in and near the preferred corridor, the schools within and near the preferred corridor, and the length and resulting cost of the proposed transmission line. GIS is an excellent tool to spatially analyze all these problems, as it allows one to create and quantify visual representations of land and its features. I used the skills learned throughout the Introduction to GIS course to follow similar methods as might have been used by those originally planning this line in order to explore the same factors and ...

Geocoding

-
    This map displays all schools in Manatee County, Florida, with data including their types, addresses, and contact information. It also includes legal boundaries and roads as reported by the US Census as of 2020. Data relating to schools was taken from the Florida Department of Education's website. Here, I learned how to add XY data to an ArcGIS Pro project and how to geocode. I started with entering simple data on eagle nest locations into an Excel sheet and importing that data to a small map to introduce myself to the process. Then, I moved onto more complex problem solving, as seen in the above map.  Map Link: https://pns.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7133ef3a47734654962236f3bad24e90
