Workshop participants will utilize the basic as well as more advanced functionality of ArcView GIS, including geoprocessing extensions to analyze geographic information at the operational level of a department. Workshop participants will learn how to conduct geographic analysis and learn new GIS applications designed to promote efficiency at the operational and management levels. Participants will become more productive in geoprocessing information through the introduction of advanced extensions associated with ArcView GIS such as Network Analyst, Spatial Analyst, and 3-D Analyst. Participants apply those concepts through simulations of real world projects that are relevant to their department's GIS action plan application needs.
