How to do a gis (geographic information systems) academic project
Write down what spatial questions you would like to ask a gis.
Your data must include geographic references such as street addresses or xy coordinates.
If not, begin collecting this information.
Ensure the integrity and consistency of your data. Be cautious about the data as the accuracy and standardization of addresses and other variables will contribute to the overall ease or difficulty with which the data is integrated into a gis.
