ENMT307 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Week 5 Discussion

Network Analysis and ModelBuilder

PARTICIPATION QUESTIONS (choose one):

1)  Design a model that might account for the risk of wildfire for a GIS data set consisting of layers for vegetation type and condition, soils, streams, topography, and wind direction.  How might the model be tested? (or… design a model for a spatial environmental issue of your choice.  What layers (hypothetical) would you need and what spatial analysis would need to be performed?  What tools would you use?)

2)  Give two everyday examples of network analysis using a GIS.  Provide pictures to illustrate, and explain what is being shown.
