Introduction to GIS for Social Sciences: GIS, Analytical Mapping, and Spatial Modeling
  Description
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a powerful set of database computer mapping, and related statistical techniques that can provide new insights into research in the social sciences.  This workshop will provide an introduction to the art and science of GIS, software for creating geo-spatial data bases, maps, and estimating spatially appropriate models. Topics to be addressed include basic pin map construction, geocoding of address based data, merging of traditional data with map databases and geospatial information, sources of geospatial data, univariate and multivariate thematic mapping, 3D mapping, and techniques for imbedding maps in documents and presentations. In addition, basic approaches to multivariate spatial modeling will be discussed, and examples of research and hypothesis testing using spatial data and models will be presented and discussed.
        These topics and examples will be illustrated in a hands on, participatory manner, so that every participant can experience how to produce the maps, geocoded data, and the spatial models using the same data used in the new book, GIS and Spatial Analysis for the Social Sciences, by Robert Nash Parker and Emily K. Asencio (Routledge, 2008). Each participant will have the opportunity to construct selected maps, databases, and models from the book using step by step instructions and scripts demonstrated by the author as the participants are performing the same operations on their computer in the lab. Plenty of time for questions and discussion during the workshop and at the end will be allowed, and each participant will receive a set of maps and scripts for producing the models and maps used in the workshop. Finally, each participant will have the chance to purchase GIS and Spatial Analysis for the Social Sciences at the workshop at 20% off the retail price with no delivery charges from the author.
