The purpose of Exercise 1 is to convert you from ArcView 2.1 to Arcview 3. The purpose of Exercise 2 is to gain experience with geocoding address data and relating the resultant point data to polygon data, and to acquaint you with Network Analyst. The purpose of Exercise 3 is to work with Spatial Analyst. You have a choice of working with the Oregon or theLake Oswego data. In the Oregon data, Precipitation is available as lines, points, or areas.
Lines have to be converted to points or polygons before gridding.
If you work with Precipitation polygons you have to smooth the polygon steps. With the Lake Oswego data, you are asked to construct a trend surface map of land values or population. Parcel or census block polygons have to be converted to point files by adding a parcel center coordinate as a new variable. You also have the option of working with a downloaded USGS DEM data for the Lake Oswego quad.
