The project aims to determine the best locations for recycling bins on the Texas State University main campus by analyzing various factors. The goal is to maximize efficiency, accommodate seasonal fluctuations, and provide a reference for future funding. The methodology involves data collection, georeferencing, spatial analysis, and creating a ranking system. The deliverables include reports, posters, a website, and a database for ongoing updates. This project will benefit the Environmental Service Committee and improve recycling efforts on campus.

  2. “The Return of Green Space” TXSTATE Campus Recycling Program

  3. Problem • EnvironmentalServiceCommittee • Campus Master Plan • Recycling receptacle cost ($400) • E.S.C. does not know were the best location for each recycling receptacle

  4. Purpose • Most useful locations • 2 per location • Offer a ranking system • Variables • Vending machines • Dinning Halls • Campus Entrances • Bus Stops • Campus Residence • Number of Students in Classrooms • Seasonal Sports • Other Major Gathering Points 1 of 2

  5. Purpose • Goals • Maximize each location • Allow flexibility to move receptacles according to seasonal gathering spots • Reference for new funds • Database/Flowchart that can be updated 2 of 2

  6. Scope • Main Campus • High Use Areas • Trash Receptacles • Student Dorms • Dinning Halls • Bobcat Stadium • Strahan Coliseum • Student Parking • Bus Routes

  7. Data: • Types of Data • Vending machine shapefile • Building & Walkways shapefile • Building excel file • DOQQ files • Other hand collected data • Software • ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 with spatial extension • Microsoft Office 1 of 2

  8. Data: • Sources of Data • www.capo.state.tx.us/imagery02/ • Chris Reynolds - Office of the Vice President for Finance and Support Services • Joe Meyer – Director of Institutional Research • Paul Hamilton - Auxiliary Services 1 of 2

  9. Methodology • Research & Organizing of Data • Georeference • Hand collect data • Organized & join of tabular data • Analyze • Narrow our view to the scope of the work • Spatial Analysis • Buffer & overlaying • Network Analysis • Student flow on sideways • Result • Where are these recycling bins show be located

  10. Implications • E.S.C. will be able to see by a ranking system of where locations of recycling bins • Database for continues updates by the campus • Flowchart (Model) • Reusable • Interchangeable

  11. Timetable

  12. Budget

  13. Final Deliverables • Final Report • Poster • Web Site • Reports • Poster • PowerPoint Presentation • Flowchart • CD • Database • Metadata • Reports • Poster • PowerPoint Presentation • Flowchart

  14. Summary We will identify the best locations for recycle bins on Texas State Univ. main campus. We consider the factors: How many people are in each building Where vending machines, smoking areas, sidewalks, smoking areas, sidewalks, and bus stops are.
