Expanded Course Description
| Advanced Urban Geographic Information Systems (GIS) adopts a community-engaged learning approach and centers on projects involving GIS-based analysis on neighborhood walkability, service access equity, urban design quality, etc. It is a mixed-level, applied class, and serves as one of the GIS requirement options for CRP graduate students. Collaborating with the SCYP, the advanced GIS class works with local planning and transportation agencies from various communities to assist them with neighborhood planning, transportation planning, and comprehensive planning. Students will practice GIS mapping and advanced spatial analysis techniques, learn to collect data using smart phones and analyze them in GIS, and understand how GIS can be applied to address the environment-people relationship in urban planning. At the end of the Spring term, students will present the project results to a local agency, and will produce a professional report. In the past, this class has worked with several cities including Medford, Gresham, and Albany. Here are links to some of the reports the class produced:
Redmond: https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/21937
Gresham: https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/22537
Medford: https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/18906
The Advanced GIS class not only helps students improve their technical GIS skills but also provides solid opportunities for students to understand evidence-based policy-making process, learn how to work with community stakeholders, and practice professionalism in communication and service delivery. The 400-level of this class is open to undergraduate students who have completed an introductory GIS class (e.g., PPPM434) or have had some experiences using GIS. The 500-level of this class is a required core course for CRP graduate students who have some GIS background and have chosen not to take PPPM534 (Urban GIS). This course can also be taken by graduate students who have completed PPPM534.
