  9. Questions? • Content questions? • On to Spatial Thinking & GIS…

  10. Spatial Thinking & Analysis • What is spatial thinking? • Puzzles • Space planning • Imagine & visualize how to get somewhere and what the obstacles are • Parking the car • Problem solving • Representations of the world • Relationships • Domain knowledge

  11. What is GIS? • Geographic Information System (or Science) • Organize, analyze, visualize info geographically i.e. spatially • Layers & attributes • Another tool for your toolbox

  12. Examples Obtained on 9/2/08 from Hiram Sarabia

  13. What is meant by spatial analysis for a free poster print? • Must do more than just provide a map of your study area. • Could mean • Use of buffering or selection tools • Geocoding • Creating your own data • Depends on the complexity of your project & GIS work
