Get ready to put your hard-hat on! This half-day workshop will give you hands-on experience to give you a solid introduction to community mapping. The course focuses on locating, manipulating, and mapping secondary data sources of economic and demographic data.
You will spend at least two hours using a computer to create maps using ArcView GIS software from ESRI.
After this intensive workshop, you will be able to:
- understand a variety of ways in which community assets can be mapped
- use GIS mapping and understand how it can be useful for every field of community development
- analyze special relationships through mapping with knowledge and communication tools
- work with a GIS mapping software application, ArcView
- create several maps that can be used for community development policies or programs
If you are a city planner, economic developer, or community developer, you are encouraged to build your skills and attend one of these two workshops!
Future possible workshop dates/locations to be announced.
