  1. The Use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in IR AIRPO Alex Bay, New York June 13th, 2003 Dan Jardine, Research Analyst Binghamton University (SUNY)

  2. What Is GIS ? • Geographic Information Systems • Making Maps!! • Adds Spatial or Visual Component to Data • Effective Method of Portraying Data • Visual Communication Tool • “Have you ever really seen your data?” • Uncovers Spatial Patterns/Relationships • Key Requirement: A Locational Identifier in Data (e.g. Address, ZIP Code, etc.)

  3. Areas in IR Where GIS Can Be Applied • Enrollment Management • Marketing/Public Relations • Student Affairs • Alumni Donations • Facilities Planning/Management

  4. Examples of IR-Related Data That Can Be Mapped • Student Data Files • Survey Data (e.g. CIRP) • Admissions Data – (Inquiries, Applications, Admits & Enrollees) • High School Data (e.g. EPS) • Alumni Data • Facilities Data • Demographic Data (e.g. U.S. Census Data)

  5. IR Questions GIS Can Help to Address • Where do our (best) students come from? • Where can we find more students like them? • Where should we focus our recruiting resources? • Do attitudes/expectations differ by region? • Where is the most/least utilized space on campus? • Where should we focus our Alumni donations campaign? • Great Planning Tool!!

  13. Getting Started With GIS • New York State has Contract with ESRI, makers of ARCView software • MapInfo can be purchased from SPSS for around $250 • Both come loaded with base maps – U.S., Counties, ZIP Codes • Many Websites offer FREE base maps and data – U.S. Census Bureau • Forthcoming New Directions Volume on GIS in IR this Fall – Many Examples! • http://buoir.binghamton.edu
