Using GIS and digital cartography to assess current development questions in Humboldt County: Case Studies
Study several local "development problems" and "weigh in" after doing a literature search on these issues, developing GIS models using relevant material, and producing conclusions.
Development Issues:
- HSU Accessibility Analysis: GIS for analysis and cartography for presentation
- Orick Telecommunications Infrastructure: What are the options, coverage issues, and costs?
- Rails vs. Trails: Using GIS to analyze the 2 major reuse options for the old railline
- Analyzing traffic issues based on # traffic incidences and violations at a given location along with speed, traffic volume and "twistiness"
- Analyzing Humboldt's best alternative energy opportunities
- Examining slopes and angles of incedence to determine areas with maximum solar potential
- Examining the bay using remote sensing and data to assess the opportunities for wave-energy options
- Analyzing the fish kill problem using GIS
Over-arching theme: GIS is an important development tool that can be used by the people to improve their unerstanding of and importance in the local development process
Note: Perhaps I should focus on just one or two of these issues?
