Week 5:
Chapter 4:
In Chapter 4, we worked with spatial databases and databases in general. This was honestly very difficult, and I did not enjoy it. Having to download the data from the different websites was pretty challenging for me and was not the happiest of my times while doing GIS. This can be a very important thing, though, since some of this data could be important to a specific thing we are looking into, or it could also be something that increases information in our study.
Chapter 5:
In this chapter, we learned how to look at maps using specific locations. Throughout the chapter, we changed coordinates for each of the specific projects and made them show specific areas that were important to search.
Chapter 6:
In this chapter we learned a lot about geoprocessing, which I thought was the easiest chapter out of the 3 we did. This helps us build study areas in our GIS maps where tasks are preformed. As in this chapter we did a good amount of looking into the Manhattan fire company’s works. We looked at a lot of attribute tables as well which helped point out spatial features, and other important information.
