Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:04,880
So now let's talk a little bit about
the data that you can put into a GIS,
2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,260
whether it's a desktop GIS or online.
3
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:12,510
Okay, so
what data can be used to map things?
4
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:15,615
How can we map things?
5
00:00:18,311 --> 00:00:22,466
We can use longitude and latitude, that's
probably the first one that comes to mind
6
00:00:22,466 --> 00:00:26,503
for you I would think, is that if we have
a set of coordinates for a given location,
7
00:00:26,503 --> 00:00:29,077
we can reference those to
the surface of the earth and
8
00:00:29,077 --> 00:00:31,100
describe pretty much anything we want.
9
00:00:32,670 --> 00:00:34,201
You may also think of street addresses.
10
00:00:34,201 --> 00:00:37,465
So if you type a street
address into a web browser or
11
00:00:37,465 --> 00:00:42,073
a web mapping application,
that will find a location for you as well.
12
00:00:42,073 --> 00:00:45,494
So that one's pretty typical.
13
00:00:45,494 --> 00:00:48,333
You can also use postal
codes to map locations.
14
00:00:48,333 --> 00:00:50,336
Or in the US,
the equivalent would be zip codes.
15
00:00:50,336 --> 00:00:55,759
So if you've ever been asked in a grocery
store or some kind of retail location for
16
00:00:55,759 --> 00:01:00,808
your postal code or zip code, you may
think, why am I being asked for this?
17
00:01:00,808 --> 00:01:03,069
What are they going to do
with that information?
18
00:01:03,069 --> 00:01:04,324
Well the fact is,
19
00:01:04,324 --> 00:01:08,856
is that they can map your location
based on something like that.
20
00:01:08,856 --> 00:01:13,611
So the post office is using that
to decide how to deliver mail, but
21
00:01:13,611 --> 00:01:16,551
that data is often licensed or share, so
22
00:01:16,551 --> 00:01:21,491
that other organizations can take that and
use it to map locations.
23
00:01:21,491 --> 00:01:24,493
So in the Canadian system,
there is a six digit postal code.
24
00:01:24,493 --> 00:01:28,848
The first three digits are known as
the forward sortation area, or FSA.
25
00:01:28,848 --> 00:01:31,111
So, that's another one of our TLAs or
three letter acronyms.
26
00:01:31,111 --> 00:01:36,159
And I've just shown a map here of some
of them to give you a sense of the size.
27
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:39,689
So if you're in a grocery store, or
something like that, and they ask you,
28
00:01:39,689 --> 00:01:40,958
often they'll just ask for
29
00:01:40,958 --> 00:01:44,235
the first three digits of a postal
code instead of the full six digits.
30
00:01:44,235 --> 00:01:49,243
They'll be able to map your location where
you live, down to something this side.
31
00:01:49,243 --> 00:01:54,176
So you'll notice that they vary in size
because their based on the number of
32
00:01:54,176 --> 00:01:58,814
people that live there, so
the population density plays a part here.
33
00:01:58,814 --> 00:02:01,236
And so
you can see that there's different sizes.
34
00:02:01,236 --> 00:02:06,099
But generally speaking, you can get down
to a fairly specific neighborhood In
35
00:02:06,099 --> 00:02:09,425
terms of just looking at
the forward sortation area.
36
00:02:10,556 --> 00:02:12,857
One time I was in my local grocery store,
37
00:02:12,857 --> 00:02:16,443
and I was getting ready to check out,
and I happened to look up,
38
00:02:16,443 --> 00:02:20,775
and I saw this sign that was posted on
the side of the cash register that said,
39
00:02:20,775 --> 00:02:25,749
attention, customers, we'll be conducting
a customer origin survey at the store.
40
00:02:25,749 --> 00:02:29,628
Postal codes are collected to determine
how far our customers live from the store
41
00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:31,179
for market research purposes.
42
00:02:31,179 --> 00:02:34,214
This information will help us serve you,
the customer, better in the future.
43
00:02:34,214 --> 00:02:36,633
So this was a while ago now.
44
00:02:36,633 --> 00:02:39,341
But I took a photo of it and
I started talking to the cashier about it.
45
00:02:39,341 --> 00:02:44,494
There was nobody behind me in line, so
I thought I'd take a minute to ask her.
46
00:02:44,494 --> 00:02:47,430
Is this something that she
gets a lot of resistance from?
47
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:50,480
Do people provide that information or not?
48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,570
And she said that, many people do
not provide their information.
49
00:02:54,570 --> 00:02:57,470
That their kind of suspicious about
the privacy implications of this.
50
00:02:57,470 --> 00:02:59,750
Even though it might actually help them,
51
00:02:59,750 --> 00:03:05,029
in terms of making better products
available to their customers.
52
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:11,460
So as an example she said, one reason
they collect these is they can compare
53
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:14,650
the location of where you
live with what you bought.
54
00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:18,130
So we can see like where did you
come from to get to that location?
55
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:22,390
And if people from a certain area
are all buying the same kind of thing.
56
00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:24,670
Perhaps it's some kind of exotic fruit.
57
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:29,150
Then the company can stock more of
that fruit and make it more available,
58
00:03:29,150 --> 00:03:30,050
not only in that store.
59
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:33,850
But if they look at patterns of people
that are similar in other locations,
60
00:03:33,850 --> 00:03:37,630
they can make sure that those stores
have that exotic fruit as well.
61
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:42,540
Anyway, not to digress too much, but
sometimes there's data that's collected in
62
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:46,670
ways that you may not think of,
that you kind of may have a vague idea,
63
00:03:46,670 --> 00:03:48,910
well they're probably going to
use this for something, but what?
64
00:03:48,910 --> 00:03:51,940
And in this case, it's definitely
being used to map your location, and
65
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:54,140
then try to associate that
with other information.
66
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:57,410
So it could be things like census data,
to associate that with a neighborhood.
67
00:03:57,410 --> 00:04:01,096
It might be income level or
languages spoken and so on,
68
00:04:01,096 --> 00:04:05,502
to try and connect you as a consumer
to information about you, and
69
00:04:05,502 --> 00:04:10,150
be able to use that to basically to
serve you better as a customer, and
70
00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:12,899
of course to make money for the company.
71
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:17,335
If we go down to the full
six digit postal code, so
72
00:04:17,335 --> 00:04:20,505
the last three digits
are the local delivery unit.
73
00:04:20,505 --> 00:04:23,856
We have the first three
digits which are the FSA,
74
00:04:23,856 --> 00:04:26,238
the last three digits are the LDU.
75
00:04:26,238 --> 00:04:29,587
And we can see some examples of them here,
76
00:04:29,587 --> 00:04:35,045
these are around the university campus and
for example we can find,
77
00:04:35,045 --> 00:04:41,340
let's see, M5S3J6 would be a postal
code with the full six digits.
78
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:43,860
And so if you gave somebody,
say in a grocery store or whatever,
79
00:04:43,860 --> 00:04:48,640
your full six digit postal code they
would be able to map you down to a much
80
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,710
smaller area within a neighborhood,
within part of the city block usually.
81
00:04:53,710 --> 00:04:56,756
And again these are designed for
postal delivery, but they get used for
82
00:04:56,756 --> 00:04:57,733
other things as well.
83
00:05:00,029 --> 00:05:02,505
United States of course uses ZIP codes.
84
00:05:02,505 --> 00:05:05,844
So this is an example of how
you'd be able to use those.
85
00:05:05,844 --> 00:05:11,897
There some ones like, this is a rather
famous one from an old TV show, 90210.
86
00:05:11,897 --> 00:05:14,741
And you can see that if
somebody had that zip code,
87
00:05:14,741 --> 00:05:19,370
they would be able to map you to this
particular part of a neighborhood.
88
00:05:19,370 --> 00:05:23,210
Which I'm guessing is a fairly wealthy
neighborhood, just from what the show was
89
00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:28,110
about, not that I was a huge fan, but
there you go, so that's zip codes.
90
00:05:28,110 --> 00:05:30,640
Even area codes can be
used to map locations.
91
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,820
Here we have an example
of a bunch of them for
92
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:35,880
different locations, some of them
are large, some of them are small.
93
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,560
But the idea is that,
if you tell somebody the area code for
94
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,780
your phone number, they would be able
to map you within that location.
95
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:49,390
So all of these are examples
of geospatial data.
96
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:51,603
Ways of being able to put
something on the map.
97
00:05:51,603 --> 00:05:54,791
And so,
when we think of what a GIS can do,
98
00:05:54,791 --> 00:05:59,181
it can certainly map locations so
that is the where is it.
99
00:05:59,181 --> 00:06:04,320
You can also map or
store attributes which is the what is it.
100
00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:07,900
And it can store spacial relationships.
101
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,351
So what is near by?
102
00:06:13,351 --> 00:06:14,640
What is adjacent?
103
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:18,859
Are some objects contained by others?
104
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Are some lines connected to other lines?
105
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,010
So these are all forms of spacial
relationships that can be stored inside
106
00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:26,920
AGIS as well.
107
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,983
So we have the where is it,
the what is it and
108
00:06:29,983 --> 00:06:33,233
how are these things
related to one another.
109
00:06:36,403 --> 00:06:40,484
Here we can see how in RGS Online, we can
store and access locations and attributes.
110
00:06:40,484 --> 00:06:44,360
So for example,
we can see the locations of
111
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,219
emergency shelters here, so
that is the where is it.
112
00:06:49,219 --> 00:06:55,453
And then we can see the attributes here,
that will be the what is it.
113
00:06:55,453 --> 00:07:01,468
If we select one of these
records in the attribute table,
114
00:07:01,468 --> 00:07:07,390
we can zoom in and
see that location here in helo.
115
00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:11,798
So we're connecting the location and
attribute where you have two different
116
00:07:11,798 --> 00:07:16,421
ways of referring to that information,
either through a map or through a table.
117
00:07:18,631 --> 00:07:22,681
If you click on that location, we can
access that attribute information or
118
00:07:22,681 --> 00:07:25,090
summary of that or some of it at least.
119
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:26,960
Through a pop up window, and
120
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,450
that will tell us information that's
connected to a table as well.
121
00:07:32,450 --> 00:07:34,110
So this is Hilo high school,
122
00:07:34,110 --> 00:07:38,930
you can see that here,
we have the address that addresses here.
123
00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:43,240
So all this is really doing is taking
the information from the attribute table,
124
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,164
and summarizing it in a way that someone
can interactively click on it and
125
00:07:47,164 --> 00:07:49,566
get access to that attribute information.
126
00:07:49,566 --> 00:07:53,103
Relationships can be detected and
stored in a lot of different ways.
127
00:07:53,103 --> 00:07:54,244
A simple example would be,
128
00:07:54,244 --> 00:07:56,787
if you wanted to measure
the distance to existing features.
129
00:07:56,787 --> 00:08:02,460
So we have, under the analysis tab here,
we're using a tool called Create Buffers.
130
00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:05,496
We're going to create them in
relation to the emergency shelters.
131
00:08:05,496 --> 00:08:08,694
We're specifying a distance
here which is one mile,
132
00:08:08,694 --> 00:08:13,940
and we're going to have an output here
which is the buffer of emergency shelters.
133
00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:20,720
And so when we run that, we actually
create a new data set that has a buffer or
134
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,080
a distance of one mile from each
of those emergency shelters.
135
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,599
So that might be really useful to know
if one of the shelters is full, and
136
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:33,075
you want to be able to redirect people
to another one that's close by.
137
00:08:33,075 --> 00:08:37,942
You often hear the statement that
80% of all business data have
138
00:08:37,942 --> 00:08:39,633
a spatial component.
139
00:08:39,633 --> 00:08:42,056
No one actually knows if this is true, but
140
00:08:42,056 --> 00:08:45,738
you hear it all the time at least
if you're in the GIS industry.
141
00:08:45,738 --> 00:08:48,103
This is something that comes up over and
over again.
142
00:08:48,103 --> 00:08:50,199
I read it in articles, I see it in adds,
143
00:08:50,199 --> 00:08:53,910
is that people say that 80%
of the data could be mapped.
144
00:08:53,910 --> 00:08:55,680
So if no one knows if it's true,
145
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,300
and you hear it all the time,
why do people keep saying it?
146
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:02,790
And the point really is,
is that people want it to be true.
147
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:07,598
And what I mean by that is that, and it
probably there's some vague relationship,
148
00:09:07,598 --> 00:09:08,292
who knows.
149
00:09:08,292 --> 00:09:09,772
Really what it gets down to,
150
00:09:09,772 --> 00:09:14,028
is that they're trying to make the point
that there's a lot of untapped potential
151
00:09:14,028 --> 00:09:17,371
in the data that's being stored
in a particular organization.
152
00:09:17,371 --> 00:09:21,084
So, they want to be able to tell people,
of all the data that you already have for
153
00:09:21,084 --> 00:09:25,308
your business, for your company, for your
government agency, for your non-profit,
154
00:09:25,308 --> 00:09:26,123
whatever it is.
155
00:09:26,123 --> 00:09:28,600
Think of what you could do
if you could map that data.
156
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280
And that is true, and
I think it's good intentions.
157
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Usually is that people want
to get across the point that
158
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,800
look at the potential you have for
mapping things, and if you could map it
159
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,000
then think of all the things you could
do after that in terms of analysis, and
160
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,040
insight, and things you can
do to help your organization.
161
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,220
So I'm not trying to perpetuate
this probably apocryphal statement,
162
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:51,720
that nobody really knows
whether it's true or not.
163
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,415
But the fact is, is that I really
try to do a couple things,
164
00:09:54,415 --> 00:09:58,155
one is that when you see that statement is
to think about it critically like who's
165
00:09:58,155 --> 00:10:01,730
ever done a survey of business data and
all these different organizations and
166
00:10:01,730 --> 00:10:04,441
tabulated that,
it's really probably never been done.
167
00:10:04,441 --> 00:10:08,539
But secondly, why do they keep saying
it and there is some value in what
168
00:10:08,539 --> 00:10:13,124
the underlying intent is I think, that
they're trying to get across this idea
169
00:10:13,124 --> 00:10:17,651
that wouldn't it be great if you could
map all the data that you already have.
170
00:10:17,651 --> 00:10:19,514
And what could you do with it, then?
171
00:10:19,514 --> 00:10:21,248
So I think that's a fair point.15906
