Over the next couple of weeks, I will be using GPS to collect the coordinates for these various places and resources on campus. I will then be adding these locations to the 'imagery' basemap from ArcGIS Online.

This week, I have been finalizing my proposal as well as working through some of the logistics of creating this sustainability map for campus. I decided I will utilize ArcGIS Online so the final product may include an interactive online version as well as a PDF. Additionally, I have identified the notable sites on campus including buildings such as Rosetti Hall and the Trustco Bank Center (both LEED-Certified buildings on campus), the two campus Rain Gardens, water bottle fill stations, areas that collect recycling, areas that utilize food waste, and the vegetable/herb garden. Some concerns I have include making sure specific features, such as the water bottle fill stations, are placed with very little error on the map.

I love your project already! Smart idea including Trustco, especially because most incoming students don't know about it, let alone current students. I also love how you are already anticipating the end product and its availability to meet your needs and making sure they are always in reach :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of your project, I also really love the interactive aspect of it. Maybe you can make the interactive map have a description or an explanation for people to read when they click on that point. Or maybe you could include a statistic about how many people have used the water bottle fill station/ what impact that has had. I am not sure if there is a way to track that but I think that would be an interesting addition.
ReplyDeleteI think that your finished project will be really cool and useful once complete. I agree that there needs to be a high level of accuracy when plotting data such as the a water bottle fill station which may need to be plotted manually on the basemap. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Good luck with the next steps.
