Getting to Know ArcGIS<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 1\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For some reason, a problem that I ran into during this exercise was that my color legend for school walking areas would disappear, even though it was a visible layer at that time. I turned the layer on and off again probably about 3 times before it stuck with my figure, and I was able to complete the exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chapter 2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Something I also struggled with, that I think others did too, was getting the World_Data.mxd into ArcGISPro. Once I did, the instructions were pretty easy to follow. This program was a little more familiar to be than ArcOnline, so I had an easier time following these steps\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5 Answer: On which continents are PM concentration highest?<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a high quantity of urban PM concentration in Africa, the Middle East, and the majority of Asia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Examine the contextual ribbon\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 2: If you close your contents pane, how do you restore it? – go to the View tab in the top ribbon, then click on \u201ccontents\u201d in the Windows ribbon<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do you find a geoprocessing tool? All geoprocessing tools are located in the Analysis ribbon, and within the tools tab that you can scroll through and find the specific geoprocessing tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question 4: Which city has the largest population? Shanghai, China<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Measuring Distances: The distance between Lima, Peru, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is approximately 2,328.61 miles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question 1: What is the height of the tallest building in this layer?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

339.758<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 3\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Extract Part of a Data Set:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 5: What is the field name that indicates the state within which the county features are located? – STATE_NAME<\/span><\/p>\n

How many residents of Wayne County are between the ages of 22 and 29 years old? – 10,575 people\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3b<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 3: How many years of data are represented in the table?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6 years – 2004 – 2010<\/span><\/p>\n

3c<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 3: What percentage of households has an income of less than $15,000 per year?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9.3%<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3d<\/span><\/p>\n

When I tried to import the IL_food_deserts.lyrx, there seemed to be an error in the import and there was a red ! next fo the IL_food_desert in the contents bar, and the data was not showing up on top of the 2010 percentages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 4<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4a<\/span><\/p>\n

I was able to load the FireHydrant.shp file into the map, but when I tried to use the feature class to geodatabase tool, it would not load the WaterLines.shp, WaterPressureZones.shp, or Wells.shp. I had to use the Feature Class to Feature Class tool again for all of the shape files separately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 8:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How many vertices does the selected line have? 4 vertices<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4c – when i attempted to separate zone 2 using the select and split tool, the tool would not insert the line across the zone in order to split the zone. Therefore, I would not merge the zones with one another. Then of course, when it was time to draw the polygon around the figure, i could not do that because there was no area to select, because I was unable to separate the polygon<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"5a: question 4: can you name the types of conflict events that are recorded in this dataset?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Battle – no change of territory, strategic development, riots\/protests, remote violence<\/span><\/p>\n

Once I hit the section in 5a discussing \u2018proceed through preconfigured tasks\u2019, when i went to click on the task file, the file was empty, and there was no data. I could not select \u2018create conflict maps\u2019, and therefore, the rest of 5a was unachievable since this file was empty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5b: since I was unable to complete section 5a, I had to import both of the maps of South Sudan and\u00a0 Rwanda into the file. However, when it was time for the model builder section, the same thing was happening to me as it was in the first section. The tool box was empty with no data, and therefore, the rest of the exercise could not be completed. Im not sure if this is a mis linkage between the data set and ArcGIS, because all of my data is in my own flash drive, and the maps are accessible and I can reach the shape files, but none of the tools in the catalog pane show any data in them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
