Résumé

When local governments decide to go digital and use a geographic information system (GIS) to store and access information, many tasks need to be done. ArcGIS and the Digital City: A Hands-on Approach for Local Government provides step-by-step exercises using real data with ArcGIS that take you through the process of building and using GIS data in a local government. Containing the authentic nuts and bolts of daily GIS activities, this is a textbook for GIS classes in urban planning plus a workbook for local governments. Planners, analysts, and other local government staff can get hands-on experience using data sources from a real city to:

build a geodatabase from CAD files and tabular data
define coordinate systems
construct table joins
create and work with topologies
fix, update, and edit spatial data
perform attribute queries, field calculations, and much more.

Working with ArcGIS 9 geoprocessing tools, you will perform spatial analysis to produce land-use reports, analyze residential density, and find possible drug houses near playgrounds.

After doing the exercises in ArcGIS and the Digital City: A Hands-on Approach for Local Government, you will understand the power and the problems associated with working with real data in a GIS, and you will be able to use ArcGIS Desktop to address issues crucial to cities and counties.
