ITLS6111: Spatial Analytics
Weight: 25%
This individual assignment aims to assess your ability to (a) perform spatial analyses and (b)
comminute your analysis results through effective map designs and data visualisation. The
assignment requires you to design three maps under the same ArcGIS Pro project. The
requirements and their weights/points for each map are described below.
Your submission is in the form of PDF file (could be converted from power point slides .ppt
or pptx file) and ArcGIS Pro project (.aprx file).
Requirement for the ArcGIS Pro project file (.aprx) submission
This file is used to cross-check your work, particularly your set-up. You will need this file to
export the three maps required below. While no mark is allocated to this part, you should set
up the project, maps, layouts, dashboards, etc. in a way that others can use them without any
difficulty (this is very important for group project at the end of the semester). The PDF file is
then simply an “export” of your set up for sharing (e.g., export layout to pdf). You can find
this function on page 49 of the Workshop1 slides.
Requirement for the slide submission (.pdf file)
This is used for marking your work. Each slide includes one map. The submitted file should
have exactly 4 pages in total, including one cover page that has your student ID (don’t
include your name to allow anonymous marking) and the name of this unit (ITLS6111). You
are free to design the slides as you so wish but the focus should be on the maps/visualisations
you show, instead of the slides themselves.
Each map should have a clear and succinct title that describes the message you want your
maps to convey. The title can be a part of your map (i.e., added using ArcGIS Pro insert
Straight text), but you can add the title separately using text on the power point slide. Each
map should be exported to an image file (such as .JPEG or .PNG, .PDF) for inclusion on the
slide/pdf file.
Map 1 (7 points): Create a map of the neighbourhood around your home. This map should
cover an area of about 1.5 x 2.5 kilometres. The map should clearly identify your house,
local and main streets, nearby bus stops, train lines/stations (if any) and all the major features
such as supermarkets, shopping centres, churches, etc. that you can find from the
SYD_CulturalFeatures in the SydneyInfrastructure.gdb or elsewhere (e.g., Living Atlas,
ArcGIS online, Open Street Map). You should be selective of what ‘cultural features’ to
include or exclude. [Tips: put yourself into the position of a tourist who first visits your
neighbourhood to design a map that has the information that the tourist may care about] (3
points)
Label important features of your map as appropriate. Add symbols to your map to make it
easier for the users: a symbol for your house, supermarkets, a north arrow, scale, legend, and
map title. Again, you should be selective of what symbols/styles to use (or not to use). (2
