Demographic analysis with ArcGIS workshop 2-4pm, January 31 in Gasson 9.

The focus of this workshop will be on the use of ArcGIS to analyze demographic data. The session will highlight GIS data available for research and include demonstrations of ArcGIS using cases based on Census and related data. GIS is an analysis tool which complements other quantitative methods used to analyze population data.

Census data and GIS applications are used by community planners, marketing, managers, scientists and researchers in education, economists, sociologists, social workers, health care managers, librarians, and data administrators. International population data are available also to address demographic issues in a specific country, at regional or at global scale. We will discuss these resources with those interested.

No prior knowledge of ArcGIS is required. To register, please send email to researchservices@bc.edu with the name of the tutorial. Co-instructors: Constantin Andronache, ITS Research Services and Barbara Mento, GIS Librarian.
