Introduction

In this lab 1, the student have been taught about vector data analysis. The student need to
perform 5 tasks given using ArcMap software. The tasks include perform buffering and
overlay, overlay multicomponent polygons, perform areal interpolation, compute general and
local G-statistics and perform select and clip.

For task 1, the student will find a suitable site for a new university aquaculture lab using the
following selection criteria given. Next, for task 2, the student will use multipart polygon
features in overlay operations. While in task 3, the student learn how to perform areal
interpolation and transfer known population data from census tracts to school districts.

In task 4, the student will determine if a spatial clustering of Latino population exist in Ada
Country. Then, student will check if any local “hot spots” of Latino population exist in the
country. Lastly, in task 5, the student will perform Select and Clip on the data and convert the
last output into KML file so that the data can be view in Google Earth.
Procedure
Task 1: Perform Buffering and Overlay

1) Open ArcMap. Click button and add sewers.shp, soils.shp and landuse.shp to
Layers. Then, rename Layers to Task 1.

2) Next, click button to open Buffer tool from ArcToolbox. Double click the Buffer tool
in the Analysis Tools/Proximity toolset. In Buffer dialog, fill the input feature, output
feature class, distance and dissolve type as below. Click OK to run the operation.

3) Then, open ArcToolbox again to continue with Overlay operation. Go to Analysis


Tools/Overlay toolset and double click the intersect tool. In Intersect dialog, enter the
input features and output feature class as below. Click OK to run the operation.
4) Open ArcToolbox, go to Analysis Tools/Extract toolset and double click the Select tool.
Enter input features, name the output feature class and click the SQL button for
Expression as below.

SQL
5) Double click the Add Field tool in the Data Management Tools/ Fields toolset in
ArcToolbox. First, enter input table, field name, field type, field precision and field scale
as below for Shape_Area. Click OK.

6) Then, use the same step as 5) to perform Shape_Leng as new field to sites.
7) Open attribute table of sites and select Calculate Geometry after right click
Shape_Area. Click Yes to do a calculation. In the Calculate Geometry dialog, enter
the information as below. Click Ok.

8) Do the same step as above to calculate Shape_Leng. Set Property to perimeter and
Units to meter.
Task 2: Overlay Multicomponent Polygons
1) Insert a new data frame in Arcmap and rename it as Task 2.

2) Add the feature dataset regions to task 2.

3) Go to ArcToolbox and double click Union tool in the Analysis Tools/Overlay toolset. In
the Union dialog, enter input features and output feature class as below. Click OK.
4) Next, Intersect fire 1986 and fire 1992. Double click the Intersect tool in the Analysis
Tools/Overlay toolset from ArcToolbox. In the Intersect dialog, enter input features and
output feature class in the regions feature dataset as below. Click OK.
Task 3: Perform Areal Interpolation
1) Insert a new data frame in ArcMap and rename it as Task 3.

2) Add the Idaho feature dataset to Task 3.

3) Next, double click Add Field tool in the Data Management Tools/Fields toolset. In the
Add Field dialog, enter input table, field name and field type. Click OK.
4) Open the census_tract attribute table, right click AREA and select Field Calculator.
Click Yes and enter in the expression box in the Field Calculator dialog as below. Then,
Click OK.

5) Then, intersect latah_districts and census_tract. Double click the Intersect tool in the
Analysis Tools/Overlay toolset. In the Intersect dialog, enter input features and output
feature class as below. Click OK.

6) Go to Data Management Tools/Fields toolset in ArcToolbox and double click Add Field.
In the Add Field dialog, enter input table, field name and field type as below. Click OK.
7) Select Field Calculator by right clicking TRACT_POP in the intersect attribute table,
and enter the expression as below in the Field Calculator dialog.

8) Now, click Select by Attribute from Table Option menu of interact. In the next dialog,
enter the query expression as below and click Apply.
9) Click the button to show selected records. Right click TRACT_POP and select
Statistics. The sum statistic shows the estimated population for the Moscow school
district.
Task 4: Compute General and Local G-Statistics
1) Insert a new data frame in ArcMap and rename it as Task 4.

2) Add adabg00.shp to Task 4.

3) Right click adabg00 and select properties. Go to Symbology tab, select


Quantities/Graduated colors to display the field values of Latino. Click OK.
4) Go to ArcToolbox and open Spatial Statistics Tools/Analyzing Patterns toolset. Double
click High/Low Clustering (Getis-Ord General G) tool and enter input feature class,
input field, check the box for General Report and set defaults for the other fields as
below. Click OK.

5) After the operation is complete, go to Results from the Geoprocessing menu. Under
Current Session, expand Hight/Low Clustering (Getis-Ord General G) and the double
click Report File to open it.

6) At the top of the report, it is lists observed general G-statistic, the Z score, the
probability and interpretation of the result. Close the report and Results.
7) Next, double click the Hot Spot Analysis (Getis-Ord Gi*) tool in the Spatial Statistics
Tools/Mapping Clusters toolset. Enter input feature class, input field, output feature
class and distance band as below. Click OK to execute the command.
Task 5: Perform Select and Clip
1) Insert a new data frame in ArcMap and rename it as Task 5.

2) After that, add Jefferson and AMSCMType_PUB_24K_POINT to Task 5.

3) Go to ArcToolbox, choose Analysis Tools/Extract toolsets and double click the Select
tool. Enter input features, output feature class and click SQL button for Expression in
the Select dialog as below. Also, enter the expression in the Query Builder dialog as
below.
4) Next, use Jefferson to clip action_completed. Double click the Clip tool in the Analysis
Tools/Extract toolset to open it. Enter input features, clip features and output feature
class as below. Click OK.

5) Double click the Layer to KML tool in the Conversion Tools/To KML toolset to open it.
Enter the layer and output as below. Click OK
6) Now you ready to display KMZ file in Google Earth. Insert ac_jefferson.kmz, then you
can see its location on Google Earth and its attributes.
