The Analyzing San Diego: Local Demographic Analysis
Workshop will teach you to extract, query, download, analyze, and map
Census demographic data for San Diego and surrounding
communities.
(Note: Participants may substitute their own community
in exercises-all techniques are directly transferable to other
communities). Such data can provide grant writers, social researchers and
community planners with powerful tools for analyzing community changes.
This is
a streamlined, “hands on” workshop where each participant works on their
own
computer throughout the day.
This workshop
also
provides an introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
which
includes a discussion of GIS concepts and common uses, where to easily
obtain mapping files, a demonstration of the map browser ArcExplorer
(included
with your materials), hands on practice making basic maps online and
suggestions
for making effective maps. See a detailed description
Materials include: A comprehensive
workbook that includes the workshop presentation, exercises, reference
materials
and a valuable Demographic Data Resource CD. This CD includes useful GIS
tools
such as ArcExplorer and several shapefiles for all communities in the
United
States. Materials also include a 60 day trial version of ArcView 9.0, a
leading
GIS software. Also included is the 2003 US Statistical Abstract which
includes
an extensive selection of statistics for the United States, with selected
data
for states, metropolitan areas and cities.
