Assignment: GIS Project in Public Administration

The topic and abstract have been completed with two voice threads from my professor for feedback. This is a serious project so if you are not familiar with GIS please do not accept this assignment. It is due before May and I will not have time to make any corrections. The project is based on Binghamton NY and is expected to be completed based on that population and demographic.

Description: In this GIS project, you will explore the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in addressing a relevant issue in any field of public administration. The project will involve identifying a specific area, community, or stakeholder group affected by a particular problem, creating a GIS map to visualize the problem, analyzing the available data, concocting a potential solution, and discussing the importance of GIS in addressing this challenge.

• Task I: Problem Identification and Data Collection: Begin by selecting an area, community, or other target population that experiences some problem. Research and collect relevant data sources that can contribute to understanding the problem. Consider both spatial (geographic) and attribute (non-spatial) data.

• Task II: GIS Map Creation: Using a GIS software of your choice (such as ArcGIS, or QGIS), create a comprehensive map that illustrates the issue in the selected service area. Ensure that the map is visually appealing, clear, and effectively communicates the problem.

• Task III: GIS Analysis and Problem Solving: Utilize GIS tools and techniques to analyze the collected data and identify potential causes or contributing factors to the problem. Perform spatial analysis operations such as buffer analysis, network analysis, or hotspot analysis to uncover patterns and relationships. Identify key areas of concern that require intervention.

• Task IV: Discussion on the Importance of GIS: Write a comprehensive discussion on the significance of GIS in addressing the problem/concern. Explain how GIS helps public administrators in understanding, planning, and managing challenges. Discuss the benefits of GIS in decision-making processes, urban planning, infrastructure development, etc.
