The NYC Demographic Analysis Workshop will teach you
to
extract, query, download, analyze, and map Census demographic data
for NYC 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 trends 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.
