Hands On Test (Georeferencing and Spatial Adjustment) - Geographic Information System (GLS 613)

    This hands-on test were focused more on Georeferencing and Spatial Adjustment using ArcGIS software. By providing a raster map image and spatial data, we were suppose to do these operations by using GIS tools with the guidance of manual step-by-step in those two analyses. After the operation is completed, we were supposed to answer the question on the question paper.

Lab 1 Introduction to GIS Software - Geographic Information System (GLS 613)

This practical session intends to give brief overview and understanding of ArcGIS software and its component such as ArcCatalog and ArcMap. At the end of this session, it is hope that participant is able to perform some basic function of the software.Whether you use GIS in a project or multi user environment, you can use the three ArcGIS desktop applications-ArcCatalog, ArcMap, and ArcToolbox do your work. ArcCatalog is the application for managing your spatial data holdings, for managing your database designs, and for recording and viewing metadata. ArcMap is used for all mapping and editing tasks, as well as for map-based analysis. ArcToolbox is used for data conversion and geoprocessing.

What is Big Data? - Geographic Information System (GLS613)

   

Big data are “data sets that are so big they cannot be handled efficiently by common database management systems” (Dasgupta,2013). In other word, it also can be defined as the collection of data so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process the database into the application or tools.

In our daily lives, simple activity like listening to digital music, reading an e-book even browsing on your smart phone are now generating data which leaving a digital trace (data) and can be use and analyze from the data. In surveying concept, the Big Data can be formed from the GPS devices, Satellite remote sensing, LiDAR, Aerial Surveying, Hydrographic surveying and etc. As the modern concept of surveying method is created, the larger the data published from one survey works.

Lab 5 ArcGIS Online and GIS Cloud - Geographic Information System (GLS613)

    
   ArcGIS Online is a cloud base mapping platform where the user capable of access to dynamic, authoritative content to create, collaborate, catalog and share maps, data and application with each other or through public. Through ArcGIS Online, the users can gain a private access to the secure ESRI cloud, which is scalable and ready to use. ArcGIS requires no additional hardware or software and is available through a subscription.

    GIS Cloud is the first purely web based GIS powered by cloud computing. It provides full desktop GIS features enriched by the web. GIS Cloud offers easy and efficient visualization, analysis and exploration of geographic information. The goals of the GIS Cloud platform are to simplify exchange of geographical information between users and offer an easy way to analyze the information regardless of the location of its users. GIS Cloud Mobile Data Collection is a tool for web and mobile devices which allow you to collect data in real time, with custom designed forms, work in offline mode and more. Collect field data and conduct field surveys faster and easier than ever before. Simply sign in with your GIS Cloud account (or sign up for free) and send collected data directly to your GIS Cloud app in the cloud.

Lab 4 ArcGIS Network Analyst Tutorial Exercise - Geographic Information System (GLS613)

 
In this exercise, the ArcGIS Network Analyst extension provides to build a network dataset and perform analyses on network dataset. One of the dataset can create in ArcCatalog from feature classes stored in the geodatabase. The definition of connectivity rules and network attributes as well as performing various of network analyses in ArcMap using Network Analyst toolbar.

Lab 3 ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst Tutorial Exercise - Geographic Information System (GLS 613)

ArcGIS Geostatistical analyst are able to create a continuous surface or map, from one sample point stored in a point feature layer or raster layer or by using polygon centroids. The sample points can be estimated such as elevation, depth to the water table, level of pollution, study of the case. By using the ArcGIS tools, Geostatistical Analyst provides a comprehensive tool for creating a surface can be used to visualize, analyze and understand spatial phenomena.

Lab 2 ArcGIS Spatial Data Editing Tutorial Exercise - Geographic Information System (GLS 613)

   

The most straightforward approach to figure out how to edit in ArcMap is to finished the activities in this instructional exercise. The primary part of the instructional exercise (Exercises 1–3) utilizes information from Utah's Zion National Park, which contains such geologic material such as red and tan sandstone rocks, slope of the cliffs, and huge numbers of canyons. You will utilize the editing environment in ArcMap to make and change spatial components to represent different natural and human-made features in that area. upon finishing these exercises, you can make distinctive sorts of new features, including points, lines, polygons, and annotations. Creating a new attribute value, edit shapes, and create and applying a features template. You will become familiar with a plenty of the tools available on the Arctoolbox and parts of the UI which is available to you when editing. The rest of the activities (Exercises 4–5) represent to you how to edit an existing data. You will figure out how to preserve spatial information through topology and how to coordinate new information with existing datasets utilizing spatial adjustment.  You can manage to finish this exercise in orderly, since the software procedure depend on those introduced in before activities and expect you comprehend those ideas. For activities 1–3, you have to finish the all the subparts, (for example, a, b, c, and d) in the meantime, then it can only stop after finishing an entire exercise. For exercise 4–5, you can restart the tutorial again on either the following exercise or subpart with any trouble since the maps and information are independent in these exercises.
