Subject: POEC 6387 WORKSHOP / PROJECT PLAN Relationship of Registered Sex Offenders to Area Schools via Map Driven Web Site This project is to obtain public data on the location of registered sex offenders located in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and create maps that illustrate the proximity of registered sex offenders to local schools using the buffer capabilities of GIS software. The maps created will then be published as an interactive web site that will enable users to navigate to an area of interest and view the map file associated with their search. The web site’s navigation logic will be County driven, beginning with the North Central Texas Council of Governments member outline image. Each County will have a map that can be further explored by sub regions that are established by zip code or township boundaries. Project data source includes; Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Sex Offender Registration Database for offender location, Texas Education Agency Database for school location and DFWinfo.com for county boundaries, landmark points, city limits, road lines, unified school districts, zip codes and hydrology shapefiles. Data acquired for offender and school locations will require much manipulation to create point layers for map creation and was accomplished in the Collin County prototype by carefully associating datable address fields using the roads shape file as the master reference. Any recommendations of a better data source (existing point files) or more appropriate geocoding techniques would be greatly appreciated. ESRI ArcGIS/ArcView 8.2 provided by UTD/GIS for home study and residing on my Windows XP workstation will be used to create and export the maps that will represent the web sites content. NetObjects Fusion will be used to design, create and manage the web site which will reside on my host server and copied onto CD for demonstration. I have recently read the ArcIMS 3.1 user guide and realize that Internet Mapping and Information Processing is my preferred area of the GIS community, and merges well with my experiences with site design, network administration and software scripting. Therefore, I would like access to the current ArcIMS documentation that is available to the GISC 7363 students and assistance with installing the software on my workstation. This would allow me to attempt this project using ArcIMS functionality as well as the process mentioned above. GISC/POEC 6387 Geographic Information Systems Workshop (3 semester hours) Provides a structured laboratory experience focused on the students' substantive area of interest. Each participant develops a project which should include aspects of database design and manipulation, spatial analysis, and cartographic production. Projects may be designed in coordination with a local government, utility, business, or other entity that uses GIS in its operations and research. Prerequisites: GISC 6381 and GISC 6382.
