App 1: This web page features an interactive map that overlays Delaware County’s land parcels with street centerlines. The goal is to provide users with an easy way to explore the relationship between different parcels and streets, allowing for basic spatial analysis. I utilized an experience builder template to create the page, enhancing its visual appeal with the inclusion of Delaware County’s crest and a county map sourced from the web.

Users can interact with the map by clicking on individual parcels, which will display detailed attribute table information, such as acreage, ownership, and land use type. Likewise, selecting a road or street from the centerline map will reveal specific details about the chosen roadway, including whether it’s a local street or part of a major highway or interstate. The layout is designed to give users a comprehensive yet user-friendly experience when analyzing both the streets and land parcels in the county.

App 2: This story map explores the critical intersection between public health and ocean health, emphasizing how coastal exposure levels in the U.S. relate to the overall health of counties, states, and the nation. By mapping out U.S. coastal exposure data alongside public health statistics, it highlights how environmental factors—particularly those related to marine ecosystems—can directly impact public health outcomes. The map shows varying levels of coastal exposure, with a visual representation of different regions of the country that face the greatest environmental risks. Additionally, the story map features a video titled “Our Oceans, Our Future,” which delves into the pressing issues surrounding ocean health and its effects on human well-being. This project aims to foster a deeper understanding of how our environmental and public health systems are interconnected, shedding light on the importance of protecting both our oceans and the communities that depend on them.

For my app, I made a user-friendly app designed to help people discover every hiking, walking, and biking trail throughout the state of New Jersey. What sets this app apart is that it also displays all designated black bear management zones, offering users important safety information. Inspired by popular platforms like AllTrails, NJ Trails provides a comprehensive map of trails without requiring users to report or upload trail data themselves. Instead, it draws verified information directly from the New Jersey Parks Department and the state’s Environmental Protection Agency. One of the app’s goals is to encourage more people to explore lesser-known parts of the state, like the more remote areas of Warren County, by providing accurate, real-time data and reducing fears about bear encounters. NJ Trails also includes a live tracking feature that allows users to monitor their distance traveled, elevation gain, and other key stats during their outdoor adventures.

App 2:

This app is designed to show where open job applications are in distance from the subway stations and lines in New York city. This will help people who work in the food industry and are trying to find a job or possibly look for a different job and want to know about their commute in the city. New York City is one of the most densely populated cities in the country with over 23,000 restaurants in the city and over 250,000 thousand residents that work in the city. There are constantly new ones popping up every day and restaurants closing every week. It is almost impossible for a simple line cook to figure out where to work next without putting hours of their own research into finding a new place of work. This application takes that stress and hours of work away and simply shows you when a new place is open to work with the simple click of a button. People are able to look at an opening and place their home on the map and see how long the commute would be. Restaurants would just have to post their job opening on the map and people who have the app will be able to get the alert that there is a new opening and see if it is a good fit for them to work there. This will help the businesses find workers faster and help residents who are in the job market find a place faster. The app will be called food 4 hire NYC.

 

 

(I could not figure out how to share it with the class so here are screenshots of them and they are public on Arc online)

 

App 01 : 

For my first application, I tried to create an app that shows the Flood map of Bangladesh. I was facing issues getting the link, so sharing the screenshot of this.

App 02:

For my second application I created an app that tracks the Global Deforestation.

Application 1:

For my final, I created a map of Northern Cardinal sightings across the US using data from EBird. I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Northern Cardinal is Georgia’s state bird, so I thought it would be interesting to see if the bird is just as common here in Ohio as it is in Georgia. The map of the US is all Northern Cardinal sightings, but I also wanted to focus on sightings on campus here in Delaware. I used a map to drop “hot spot” markers onto the campus, with data also collected with EBird.

 

Application 2:

For my second application, I wanted to compare the number of largemouth vs smallmouth bass in Ohio. I struggled to find data for it, so I ended up settling on fishing data from the Great Lakes. I thought it was interesting that there was a lot more smallmouth compared to largemouth bass, which is also the case in most of the small lakes that I live by in Westerville. Generally, largemouth bass tend to be more plentiful in large bodies of water.  (Dark blue=smallmouth, Light blue=largemouth)

App 1: Parcels and Street Centerlines Viewer

This web app offers a side-by-side map of Delaware County’s parcel data and street centerlines, allowing users to explore the layout and organization of land and infrastructure. I built this using ArcGIS Experience Builder, which let me create a clean layout with both a map and supplementary visuals, like the Delaware County crest and a vintage map image, to make the experience feel more polished and contextual.

Users can:

• Click on individual parcels to view details like acreage, land use, and ownership

• Select street features to identify road names, highways, and street classifications
  
• Use the app to explore the spatial relationship between land divisions and the road network

This tool can be helpful for local planners, real estate professionals, or residents curious about land ownership and how streets and parcels intersect across the county.

App 2: Delaware County Hydrology Dashboard

The second app is a hydrology dashboard that displays rivers, streams, and water bodies throughout Delaware County. Built using ArcGIS Dashboards, it combines a zoomable map with sidebar visuals and a data box that updates with feature-specific information. Users can either scroll through key hydrologic features or click directly on the map to get more info through pop-ups.

Features include:

• A dynamic map interface showing streams, lakes, and other water features

• A sidebar with notable hydrology images and names

• Attribute details like water feature names and area size

This app would be valuable for environmental planners, educators, or anyone interested in the geography of Delaware’s water systems. It provides a visual reference for where hydrologic features are located and how they are distributed across the landscape.

I could not get the link for this to work as it kept saying that there was a data source error. I tried to troubleshoot, but was not able to get anywhere. Included here is a screenshot of the map part however.

Chapter 7 introduced 3D web maps, or web scenes, and demonstrated how they enhance data interpretation by making it more intuitive and visually engaging. I learned about various scene elements like surfaces, textures, and atmospheric effects—especially how textures improved map readability. The chapter also covered Lidar, which uses laser-based point clouds to capture elevation and surface details. I explored Web AppBuilder and found it useful for creating interactive apps with themes and widgets. Tools like the Query and Filter widgets helped make the apps more dynamic and functional. I was especially intrigued by how 3D technologies such as VR, AR, and indoor GIS are being used to build immersive and highly detailed maps.

An idea I had for an application was to use a 3D map to mark Cardinal sightings in my hometown of Atlanta, GA. The bird is extremely common down south, but I would be interested to see if they are still as prevalent as they used to be back in 2013.

For the first part of my final, I created an Attachment Viewer app featuring four historical locations at Ohio Wesleyan University. The project included four attribute fields: the building’s name, a brief description of its historical significance, and its latitude and longitude coordinates. The descriptions were sourced from the official Ohio Wesleyan website. I successfully mapped each point and used the Instant App tool to display them. Overall, the result is a simplified version of the interactive map available on the university’s website. I couldn’t get the link to work so I have provided screenshots below.  

For the second part of my final. This app identifies potential emergency shelter sites across Delaware County, Ohio, and evaluates their accessibility based on proximity to population centers and major roads. It integrates spatial data management, geoprocessing, and digitizing/editing techniques from Chapters 5–7. The final result is an interactive map that helps planners and emergency responders evaluate shelter distribution and identify coverage gaps. The app allows users to click on each shelter and view its attributes, including distance to roads and capacity details. Again I couldn’t get the link to work so I have provided screenshots below. 

In lieu of recent events with the library, I chose to make a survey on where students like to study. Having the library freshman year was quintessential to my education, but I had to quickly adapt. With the class, I was curious where other students turned to. This is the link: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/fd95f65f47b84959895513a4e8d39efe?portalUrl=https://owugis.maps.arcgis.com.

Secondly, I thought the camera trap data from the redlands was interesting, so I chose to make it applicable to somewhere I am a little more familiar with. Not quite my home, but close to Maryland. I think it is so interesting that the data can be updated every 5 minutes. this is the link https://owugis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=fe3447587d2d42208af4cf0407f4b546

Application 1: Chapter 3 – Web Experience

My first application is a web experience, or interactive map app, built using ArcGIS Experience Builder that provides users with a comprehensive view of Delaware County, Ohio, displaying important features such as parcels, streets, building outlines, hydrology, and emergency jurisdiction boundaries. Its primary purpose is to assist emergency responders, urban planners, and decision-makers in planning response routes, assessing environmental risks, and understanding jurisdictional responsibilities. By making various datasets available and easily accessible, it enhances situational awareness, allowing users to quickly analyze and access critical location-based information, which can improve response times during emergency situations. To create this web experience, I first downloaded relevant GIS data from the Delaware County GIS Hub, including layers for address points, street centerlines, parcels, building outlines, and hydrology. These datasets were then uploaded and published as hosted feature layers in ArcGIS Online. I used ArcGIS Experience Builder to construct the app, selecting a map-centric template to display the data interactively. The app includes tools such as layer toggles, feature pop-ups, and search functionality, allowing users to explore the data and make informed decisions. I configured various widgets like the Layer List and Feature Info to provide users with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface. This tool is now a resource for anyone needing to analyze the spatial relationships between the various data layers in Delaware County, particularly for emergency management and planning purposes.

 

Application 2: Chapter 6 – Dashboard

This ArcGIS Dashboard application provides an interactive visualization of school districts, voting precincts, and tax districts within Delaware County, Ohio. Its primary purpose is to help users explore how these three administrative boundaries overlap and vary across the county. By integrating multiple data layers into a single visual interface, the dashboard enables a clearer understanding of local governance structures and how jurisdictions may impact decision-making in education, elections, and taxation. Viewers can quickly see which areas fall within specific school districts or precincts and how tax districts align with those boundaries. This type of insight can be valuable for county officials, school board members, and residents interested in understanding the spatial organization of public services. After downloading geospatial data for school districts, tax districts, and precincts from Delaware County’s GIS open data portal, the layers were uploaded and styled within a web map. This map served as the foundational element for the dashboard. Within the ArcGIS Dashboards interface, the map was enhanced using interactive elements such as selectors, charts, and filter-driven visualizations. The bar chart enables side-by-side comparisons across district names or areas.

For my first application I created a survey that people living in Delaware can use to file complaints about the schools districts they reside in.

My second application I made a 3D map documenting female Covid-19 cases in Ohio
