T‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍his final exam tests your understanding of a GIS problem (it is a real problem, by the way) and your ability to formulate necessary GIS analytical toolsets and thoughts from plain English to solve the problem. The exam tests basically your knowledge of the most often used analytical tools and operations and map-making. During the exam, you are allowed to check your textbook but strictly prohibited to discuss your question with anyone. The result of the analysis is given. I’ll need you to give me detailed steps (how you did it, what are the intermediate results), and I request you to use your best sense of making an easy-to-read, artistically appealing map as the submission for grading. Narratives: All the needed data are available from Canvas (please copy them to your flash disk or you won’t be able to do any analysis). Parcel information is contained in the folder Municipalities; land use information in the folder LandUse; Agricultural Development Area (ADA) of Burlington County is in the folder ADA (the layer contains all ADA in Burlington County); and turnpike information in folder Turnpike. In this task, you are asked by the state department of environmental protection to carry out a pioneer wetland mitigation study in three municipalities (Bordentown, Chesterfield, and Mansfield in Burlington County). The first step is to find out which parcels are in the need of mitigation. I will need you to find parcels in these three municipalities that meet these criteria (Hint: to make life easier, what shall be the first step prior to doing any of the following? Remember, the three municipalities have identical attribute structures, one of the GeoProcessing tools will make life much easier later): 1. Parcels must be equal to or larger than 10 acres (the acreage information is contained in the “CALACREAG” field 2. The parcels must be within 2000 ft. of the NJ Turnpike 3. The parcels must NOT contain (entirely or partially) any fores‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍ted land use types (land use information is in the “TYPE02” field [watch for the topological relationship here – the verb “contain” does not necessarily mean a “containment” topology – you must interpret this sentence carefully and decide what topological relationship this implies. This goes for the next two sentences, too] 4. The parcels must NOT contain (entirely or partially) any ADA 5. The parcels MUST contain (entirely or partially) wetlands. The result is that there are 6 parcels that satisfy all the above criteria in these three municipalities, you need to find out which 6, and create a map out of the analysis result. Please write down each step you did to solve the problem in detail. Give me the intermediate results of each step (how many parcels are obtained after that step). Create a professional map that has all the needed essential map elements and is artistically appealing – you are allowed to add any other layers that you believe are appropriate to make the map appealing. Grading criteria: The final grade will be entirely on the quality of your map. There are six polygons in the final result. Only mapping these six polygons will result in the minimum grade, which is 20 out of 100. Adding any layers and symbolize your features in a way that you believe will make your final map look more aesthetical is crucial for you to gain the full credit, which is 80 points out of 100. The other 20 points will be awarded to the analytical part. If you successfully finished all the 5 steps and identified the six polygons, you will be awarded 20 points. Steps 1 and 2 combined counts for 5 points. Steps 3, 4, 5 counts for 5 points each. I will suggest you make an informative map first, then start to tackle the analytical problem and upload your map and write it up to Canvas – remember, uploading a .jpeg or .pdf file of your map is crucial. NEVER UPLOAD A MAP PROJECT (with an extension of .aprx) or you will receive ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‍zero points for the map part.
