  1. Exploring Fairfax County

  2. Overview • Objective • Data • Summary

  3. Fairfax County Relocation • GIS Management: • 20-40 hours of effort • Define project/scope • Data collection • Re-define project and scope • Analyze Data • More data collection • Further refine scope • Conclusion/summary • Document results • Repeatable process

  4. Fairfax County Relocation • Initial objective was to compare Arlington county to Fairfax county GIS data to derive the best place to live. • Out of scope for my GIS management goal. • Did attain GS data • Next objective was to focus solely on Fairfax County

  5. Evaluation Criteria • High school for my son • Trails/side walks for running • Safe neighborhood • Parks • Convenience • Commute time

  6. Data to Support Evaluation • Fairfax County web site • Reston NVCC Server

  7. Analyzing the Data

  8. My Home

  9. My Home Metro Stops

  10. My Home

  11. Summary/Conclusion • Current location meets needs • School, trails, commute, safety, parks and convenience • Found an alternate living location that could meet needs • Commute would be longer at this time • Safety and quality schools are unknown

  12. Improvements • Need a greater understanding of individual schools • Should have found Metro information • Crime statistics would have been helpful • Nice to have found better trail shape files • Did not clearly define my search criteria • Subjective • Did not add cost as a factor to decision making

  13. Useful elements • I will re-use the following for future move consideration and to help others. • zip code/city map • school zone • Parks • And flood zone information

  14. Future Work • Define measurable values • Analyze imagery first and then ground truth point targets • Finish reviewing Arlington data • Collect or find rent and home value data to import in to GIS or existing map • Take more time to modify shape files for specific objective

  15. The End!
