The Assessment Of A Community 's Decision For Real Initiative

From the book, it can be learned to keep cities clean and find ways to dispose of all human waste. It can also be learned that from this book people can begin to understand confirmation bias. When doing research people often only find information to back their hypothesis, and what needs to happen is the researcher must look at the data from every angle so they can find the truth. The map itself also led to the creation of Geographic Information Systems. GISs are extremely helpful in today’s society because it can help show data in a new form that is easier to understand. It also makes it to where different data can be layered. Also a lot can be learned about data collection from this book. John Snow had a lot of data to collect, and he also had to find ways to graph it. He could have just as easily wrote down all the addresses and how many people died there, but he chose to make the map, and it made it possible to physically see where the concentration was. All of these things that was discussed throughout the seminar, the book, and timelines taught me a lot. I leaned that zooming in and out of data can change its perspective monumentally, and it makes it where you could prove a point even if when you back up, the same point would not be made. I also learned that we use GIS every day, and we do not even realize it. Finally, it taught me to never take advantage of

Crawford County, Kansas is very familiar to me; it is where I was born and raised and now, as an adult, it is where I work as a nurse. Barriers to healthcare exists in every community. There is a high amount of poverty in Crawford County that contributes to barriers to access to healthcare. Furthermore, Crawford County has several stakeholders that influence the health of the community and advanced practice registered nurse (ARNP) practice. In this assessment of my community, I will identify Crawford County, as well as prevalent health care barriers and important stakeholders in my community.

For example, Whitehead and Snow came from different backgrounds and would not have been friends if Cholera did not exist. Additionally, Snow’s map would not have existed if London did not exist. Snow’s map lead to geographical based information systems (GIS) because it took a city and mapped out the number of deaths. GIS allows citizens to view a place and overlay data to find answers. An example of a GIS system is Google Maps because the program takes a map, and overlays data, such as traffic levels, to visually show results. However, the accuracy of the results depends on how frequently the data is

The One Roof Community Community Centre (ORCC) is a program associated with the Warming Room Community Ministries in Peterborough, Ontario. A meal is served twice a day during the week, and once a day on weekends (Warming Room Community Ministries, 2017). The building is also open for drop-in hours from 12-7, providing a warm place to stay during the afternoon. The Warming Room Community Ministries number one goal is to “work toward God’s dream of justice, peace and love in the City of Peterborough by meeting immediate needs, breaking down barriers that exist in the community and advocating for systemic change.” (Warming Room Community Ministries, 2017).

“The responsible Dream Machine” was constructed as an incentive activity to promote cognitive skills through the medium of painting for young male college students. In the process, the workshop also alluded to stress relief, creativity, emotional benefits and physical benefits. Three diverse members of the student community constructed the congruency; I contacted all three members personally and agreed to partake. The workshop was presented in the OPTA classroom and was introduced by a PowerPoint presentation to present the reasons why the three students where there for and to slowly venture into the realm of painting for leisure purposes.

Thus, the problem in concern is not simply having access or not. People who suffer from this gap in the use of digital technologies are believed to lose certain social and financial benefits (McFadden, 2017), and this is not unique in Australia. In a 2014 Dutch survey, van Deursen and van Dijk (2014, p.520) identified that the lower educated people, though surprisingly used the Internet more than their more educated counterparts, were less likely to utilise the Internet for information and personal development. This means that possessing suitable skills and attitude may be more important than having access to digital technologies when it comes to benefitting the

A career as a cartographer is about making maps. This career can be defined as a science. Technology has provided these cartographers to make more precise maps. Maps made of the computer take less time and are more accurate. When cartographers begin to make more complex maps then technology can be useful in making the maps more accurate by using software’s to assist them in their task. There are different types of cartographer

The RFP states that the purpose of the GIS project is to have a consultant to assess what GIS services are working for the city and what sorts of recommendations can help improve GIS services for the city’s departments. In addition, the City of Wellington has an Enterprise GIS system and conducting a needs assessment can help provide recommendations on how to share and create databases and GIS data among other city departments. Also, it is important to note that the RFP states that the consultant must bring in people who can help with outside developing outside services and products for the needs assessment. For example, the consultant might need one of his team members to create an application for providing open GIS data for all citizens in the city. Overall, this GIS project can help all the city departments to conduct a GIS analysis efficiently and thus the needs assessment can help the city improve on its six focus

Dr. Urby had a guest speaker during his class today. The guest speaker was Dr. Gilmore, he gave a presentation on Geography. He has done extensive research in South Mexico, South America, and Honduras. Dr. Gilmore’s presentation was mainly focused on explaining the fundamental concepts of geography and its importance. Additionally, he introduced the class to the Geographic Information System (GIS). This system is a crucial tool that is available for geographers. In fact, everyone can access a geographic information system by utilizing their GPS on their smartphone. Moreover, Dr. Gilmore gave the example that the Mexican Government changed their oil and gas policies to open their doors to foreign companies. Dr. Gilmore utilized GIS to highlight

They use geographic information system (GIS) tools and techniques to evaluate digital imagery and geospatial databases. They also use remote sensing and spatial analysis to perform quality reviews of data and content accuracy. They generate visual aids, edit documents and present reports for publishing. They must understand linguistics, human trends, geography and advanced GIS software programs.

GIS Analyst is a journey- level professional class requiring the application of a body of GIS theory and principles. The GIS Analyst completes standard professional level work assignments or projects. The position’s duties require interacting with multiple internal and/or external units or individuals to meet work requirements and objectives. The incumbent must have sufficient job content knowledge in the functional area to ensure standards are met. (“Unified Port of San Diego,” 2013)

The City’s GIS ‘could’ now provide many of the benefits which ‘Asset Management’ promises, (though much of it is missing critical attributes and data):

The internet “is becoming our map and our clock, our printing press and our typewriter, out calculator and our telephone, and our radio and TV.” (Winston & Edelbach, 2014, p. 278) According to Tamara Bonn, a local high school mathematics teacher, many of her students do not know how to tell time from a clock on the wall because it is not digital and not many of her students have watches. It is hard to find an actual city map because one can look on their GPS to get driving

Admittedly, it is important to have an effective government for the growth and development of a nation. Equally, it is important to maintain a democratic government. While there are different ways of understanding what constitutes a democratic government, in public administration, democratic government can be viewed as a government that is responsive to the perspectives of its citizens and exhibit responsibility to the citizens. This can be promoted by the public institutions and public administrators (King, Feltey, & Susel, 1998). They can use various processes to ensure a democratic government including collaborative governance, decision making, citizen participation, administrative reforms, and budgeting. This paper seeks to discuss and analyze the efforts that the public organizations and the public administrators can make with regards to collaborative governance, citizen participation, and decision making to maintain a democratic government.
