Chapter 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter seven is interesting, as it teaches us more about the editing tools within GIS, more specifically, how to create and edit the shapes of various polygons, as well as how to delete polygons and split one large polygon into two separate polygons. In this chapter, we digitized a parking lot using the Create Feature Class tool, which also allowed us to add and digitize the location of different bus stations as well. For the bus station digitization part of the chapter, I had trouble finding the exact location of the bus symbol to represent each bus stop; I ended up moving on after searching the ArcGIS Online catalog pane for the symbol with no success.<\/p>\n

Chapter 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter eight teaches us how to geocode data using zip codes and translating it into points on a map. We used the create locator tool in ArcGIS to build a zip code locator. We also used the geocode address tool inside of ArcGIS to match the responses using zip codes and the zip code locator we created.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Chapter 9<\/strong><\/p>\n

In chapter nine, we use the multiple ring buffer tool to measure the distance between swimming pools in Pittsburgh and how far youth live from the swimming pools. I found this chapter easier than others to complete; however, I still walked away confused about what some elements within the map is supposed to represent and how can the multiple ring buffer tool be applied to other mapping projects.<\/p>\n
