Geographic Information System
Locations of Opportunity Zones in LA County Analysis based on geographic information system (GIS)
Define the problem / question. Being graduate students, you are expected to pick an issue of some significance. Why is GIS an appropriate tool for approaching this issue?
Remember that the point of your project is analysis and not just making a map. What analysis will you be doing?
What data will you use to answer the question?
Where did or will you get the data? (Must be more than one data layer!) Are there any limitations to the data?
How will data limitations impact your analysis? If you could do this project with no resource limitations, what would you do differently? Why? What were the impacts of the accuracy of your data? This section is very important.
What conclusion do you expect? What other outcomes might you find? Could it be something quite the opposite? Finding out that you were wrong is perfectly okay!
