Assignment 5: Updates on A4 of Park Watershed Schools

Posted on Author Shaina Lo

Using Google Fusion Wizard, I was able to combine the point layer of the schools and the polygon layer of the watershed together. I will have to play around with the colors of the points as well as the watershed for my final map. I would also like to be able to show the schools in the watershed alone and take out the other schools. But the map below is starting to look more to how I would like my final map to look like.

Now that I can add layers to point maps, I would like to add more to my final map. For example, it would be nice to include boundary lines of the municipalities, parks/nature centers/libraries, impaired water systems, etc. My next step is to search for other shape files with the above details in either the Trinity GIS folders or by downloading them.

Update to last week’s maps

Posted on Author Marissa Block

The maps below are an updated version of last week’s maps, using the Google Fusion Tables Layer Wizard. The maps are a combination of polygons and points, and shows the four Hartford school zones superimposed on the point map. The Layer Wizard is somewhat limiting as it does not offer an easy solution to include a legend. There is a help section that provides the html code for legends, but never having worked with coding before, I am slow to figure it out.

Assignment 5 (IPC Update)

Posted on Author Raymond Li

From last week, I have compiled and organized my data so that I was able to create visualizations. So far I have managed to incorporate, age and ethnicity. From these graphs we can see that the majority of injuries occur for males up until they are around age 5-9, however, females are more likely to get injured after 10 years old.

In this graph I compiled a list of patients based on their ethnicity. From the data, whites and males make up most of the injury patients.

Here I created a time series graph that shows the number of patients each year by ethnicity.

I will also be making maps. Although this is a incomplete map, it is a sample that of what I will make when I get the data. For each city, I will include the total population as well as the number of patients in that area from 2007-2012.

Assignment 4/5- Google Fusion Table

Posted on Author Katie Hawkins

For my assignment I used a polygon map of West Hartford, because that is the only area that my partner organization focuses on. There is no data from my organization that I can use yet, as I am currently compiling possibly a useful list of locations in West Hartford such as pediatrics, early dental care units etc, so for now I used Jack’s data of early care providers. This illustrates perfectly what I believe my organization wants with the right information and data. The final product to show a layer of different organizations that are beneficial for early childhood care in West Hartford.

This was my first attempt at layer wizard so there is a lot that needs to be worked on, such as maybe putting the point layer over the polygon data and then changing the colors of the points etc. I believe this is a great first step and once I meet with my partner again I think I will have a clearer understanding of where they want to go from here.
