Thus far in the quarter, you have primarily been making maps to showcase pattern
Thus far in the quarter, you have primarily been making maps to showcase patterns in data. In this module, we turn our attention to the analytical capabilities of a GIS. In Module 7, you learned about vector analysis tools. In this lab, you will practice using those tools while considering the placement of ballot dropboxes in Seattle and King County. Specifically, we will be exploring the question:
How well distributed are the King County ballot dropboxes?
In this lab, you will be given multiple shapefiles and two tables with spatial, electoral and demographic data relating to King County voters. The lab will walk you through the various analytical tools discussed in Module 7 as we analyze the data.
This lab should take approximately 3 hours to complete. This lab is worth 70 points.
Evidence of skill development will be assessed on:
Submit answers to the lab questions and two maps made using QGIS. (Required – 70 points)
