Assignment Brief

As a class, lets review the Module 2 — Population assignment brief together.

Module 2 — Space

Exercise

A big part of learning any programming language is through found examples. Using the example files below, explore two types of spatial analysis that could be adopted to your final project. Experiment with the examples to build new features such as new visualizations or analysis. Finally, work with your project team to divide up individual tasks, so you can help one another learn.

A great way to learn a script is by turning on the “Preview Selected Mode” (green bucket) and go through the script step by step.

Preview Selected Mode — third icon from the right

Things to Try:

• Change input files
• Adjust parameter values
• Change custom preview settings
• Create new visualization from output data

Example 1 — Topography (Terrain & Elevation)

Example File: Download

• Import DEM Data
• Surface Run-off Analysis

Example 2 — Connectivity (Viewshed & Walkshed)

Example Files Download

• IsoVist Analysis
• Walkshed Calculation
