Week 6. Introduction to term project Oct. 10th, 2005
Important dates for the term project • Team list due: Oct, 24th (in class). • Term project proposal due: Nov, 15th (5:00 pm). • Term project presentation due: Dec, 5th (in class). • Term project report due: Dec, 16th 5:00 pm.
Form a team • Each undergraduate team has 3-4 team members. • One student will act as the team contactor. Team contactor can be selected by the team or we may assign one if no one selected. • Normally we assume that each member will contribute the same efforts to the whole project. If not, the team contactor needs to submit a contribution table which describes the percentage each team member contributes to the project. The contribution table should be discussed within your team before turned in. • Final grade of each team member equals: (Team grade)*(Your contribution)*(Number of team members) • Each graduate has 1-2 team members.
Find an appropriate topic • Types of topics: • Social Science • Engineering applications • Environmental • Business • More… • The topic should be of feasible size • Make sure the topic is not too big or hard to finish before the presentation • Data availability • The topic should be a problem that you can apply GIS tools to solve. • What is the problem? • Why you can use GIS tools for this problem? • How?
Topics from last time 1. • Transportation System of Tsim Sha Tsui • Target: Using GIS to resolve the traffic congestion problem. • Air pollution in Pearl River Delta • Target: Air pollution assessment using GIS. • New private school in HK island • Target: Find a appropriate location to open a new private school. • Property Management • Target: Search for a new home using GIS • Rechargeable battery collection • Find feasible locations to setup battery collection points.
Topics from last time 2. • Competition study for the new HK Disneyland • Target: Market competition studies of HK and Shanghai Disneyland. • GIS for demographics analysis • Target: Migration study using GIS. • Superstore competition study • Target: Find a suitable location for a new PNS store. • Strategic waste collection • Target: GIS analysis for setting up waste collection strategies. • Public library • Target: Location for a new public library.
Methodology • Construct a logical spatial analysis flow chart that details the project steps will make the success of the analysis more likely. • What types of analyses will you perform? • Overlays? • Buffering? • Spatial interpolations? • The spatial analysis flow diagram should include: • An outline of the procedures required for the data • A logical sequence of procedures to be performed • A list of all the data required for each step
Data availability • Hong Kong’s data • Boundary file • Population • You can also make the data by digitalizing • Data on the web • Google by keywords • A complete set of data resource prepared by Stanford library • US national data • US by state • International data
Project proposal • Before you start doing the project, you will need to submit a proposal. The proposal includes, • What you want to do? • Why GIS is useful for your project? • How you want to do it? • What kind of deliverables you will submit? • The proposal does not have to be long. Three to five A4 double-space pages should be a reasonable size. • As we receive the proposal, we will give you advices to see if your proposal is feasible.
Project presentation • 20 minutes for each team. • Normally PowerPoint files. • Submit your final presentation files in digital format together with your final report by 5: 00 pm Dec, 16th (Friday).

Final report • Final report should include all necessary information. Usually it should include at least, • Data file used (usually it should be a shape file). • A Doc file which describes in details of the project (goals, data used, models created, steps, results), with necessary pictures/images. • Some maps to present your analytical results. • Attribute table and charts.
Evaluation • Project proposal: 10% • Presentation: 40% • Final report: 50%
