  2. Project Aim

  3. Youth identify issues in their communities and drive the decision-making process that leads to positive change. Objectives: Youth empowerment Civic engagement and purposeful decision-making Mastery of new skills and technology Identifying research questions and defining an approach for data collection Analysis, interpretation, problem-solving What is Youth Driven Community Asset Mapping?

  4. Determining Methods and Data Sources Conducting the Research Mission and Vision Methods Youth Driven Community Asset Mapping Goal: Youth Engagement and Empowerment within their own Communities Dr. Barron Orr facilitating the youth’s planning Identifying Major Issues and Posing the Right Questions

  5. Geospatial Toolkit Geospatial Information System (ArcGIS) TerraServer-USA.com Google Earth Google Maps Area of interest within greater community (Ironwood Tree Experience) “where” “what” + Douglas, Arizona Youth and Youth Leaders Analyzing Spatial Data Handheld Computer (iPAQ) Garmin GPSmap 60 Technology Integration: Mapping Location, navigation, mapping input Imagery Provide context for users Spatial Analysis Allows for analysis, & manipulation Visualization store, share & communicate

  6. What data do we need? Example:Ironwood Tree Experience (ITE) Issue Analysis Outcomes Needed a comprehensive assessment of components of a lot to be revitalized to serve as a community green space for youth • Primary Data: • Collected by youth with technology • Secondary Data: • - Lot boundary from the county Use of ArcGIS in the lab to aggregate data and analyze what was collected by all of the youth on their GTKs -Youth presented work at a community gathering -Map of green lot (ITE youth and UA students in the Office of Arid Lands Studies GTK lab) (Finalized and uploaded by Kristin Wisneski, UA graduate student) (TerraServer-USA imagery) (ITE youth and Space Grant Intern)
