Excerpt: ... INFS 6630 - GIS: Tutorial and Application (Section A) Assignment 5: due February 19, 2009. Peter Y Wu Office: Nicholson 451 E-mail : wu@rmu.edu GIS Resources from the Web This is an exercise to select and download map as well as data from the web, and to incorporate the information into our GIS for analytic mapping. Our goal is to construct a map to illustrate the percentage of elderly population by Census Tract in Allegheny County. We will need to first obtain the base map layers from ESRI, and then we need to get the census data from year 2000 from the US Census Bureau. Census data can be very detailed; we need use Excel spread sheet (or other similar tool) to compute the percentage of elderly population by Census Tract, and save the results in Dbase IV (.dbf) format, to be JOINed into the Shapefile attribute table of the Census Tracts in the base map. After having the Census Tract table JOINed with data, we can set up our map to show percentage of elderly population as illustrated below. It would be ...

For the U.S., mapping addresses into census tracts is more difficult than for Canada because the McGill library doesn't purchase the database that would allow you to do this. The best you should aim to do for the US is to use zip-code level data (the Census reports socio-demographic factors by zip code), so be sure to collect zip code information for your addresses. ...

Excerpt: ... GEPL 4110: 5110 Geographic Information Systems Spatially Determining Netflix Target Audience in Toledo, OH Jimmy Thompson (Grad Student) Introduction Netflix was created in 1997 by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings who were coworkers at a software company and by 1998 the website was functional (Czar, 1998). A year later the company introduced a monthly subscription plan and Netflix quickly grew to what it is today, netting $66.9 million in 2007 while employing over 1,400 people (Netflix Facts). This growth has forced video rental stores to change the way they do business by offering unlimited rentals or even offering a similar mailing service. Using the United States Postal Service, Netflix is able to ship 1.6 million DVDs daily (Netflix Facts). This study will analyze a target audience that Netflix may appeal to in Toledo, OH. The study will focus on location, convenience, median income, and age in Toledo census tracts . At the conclusion of this paper, areas of Toledo that should be targeted by Netflix adve ...
