Description

1. Introduction to Geodatabase (.gdb),Geodatabase is a spatial data storage format used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Developed by Esri, geodatabase functions as a container for storing, managing, and analyzing geographic data efficiently in an organized form. Geodatabase allows users to manage spatial data and its attributes in an integrated manner in one database.2. Geodatabase VS Shapefile.Geodatabase and Shapefile are two data formats that are often used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to store spatial data. However, both have significant differences in terms of capability, efficiency, and functionality. The comparison between the two includes storage structure, storage capacity, data and function support, scalability and collaboration, performance and compatibilityChoose Geodatabase if:- You work with large and complex datasets.- Need integrated data management (multi-layer, relations, topology rules).- Using GIS on a large organizational scale.Choose Shapefile if:-You need a simple format to share data with multiple platforms.-Your dataset is small, with simple analysis needs.Although shapefiles are still widely used because of their simplicity, geodatabases offer far superior capabilities for modern GIS needs.3. Export SHP to GDBGDB is capable of creating new features, but on this occasion we will export existing SHP data to GDB, in addition to saving time, we can also practice. Besides SHP, other popular data formats are KML and geoJSON.4. Process field survey data in XLS format, edit and clean dataBefore being processed in ArcMAP, field data in XLS format is first cleaned, such as column names that must not contain spaces.5. Export XLS to CSVAfter being cleaned, the XLS data is exported to CSV.6. Plotting survey point distribution data CSV to ArcMAP, XY data in Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) in decimal degree (DD) formatThe CSV data is then added and plotted to ArcMAP. Plotting or displaying the distribution of survey points on the ArcMAP canvas is done using 2 (two) columns/fields, a combination of X/Longitude/Longitude and Y/Latitude/Latitude as the coordinate points of the earth where the survey respondents are located. The coordinate system used in this course is the Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) with degrees (Degree) and in Decimal Degree/DD format7. Export plotting data to GDBThe distribution of survey points that have been added to the ArcMAP canvas is temporarily stored in memory (temporary layer), to make it permanent we will export this point distribution data to GDB8. Creating a spatial modelWe will create a spatial model from the distribution of survey points that have been stored in GDB. This spatial model can be thematic and choropleth. The spatial model will provide a clearer picture of how this data is distributed based on the attribute data obtained such as the age spatial model, the monthly turnover spatial model, the annual turnover spatial model and others.9. Designing a Layout in an ArcMAP document (MXD).We will create a layout in ArcMAP. We create a layout for each of the spatial models above.
