Social Mapping Workshops

GIS (Geographic Information System) gives us the ability to integrate information about a place to give us a better understanding of that place. Whether we want to site a new business, analyze crime patterns, evaluate disease distribution, or examine the demographic of our communities, GIS technology will aid us in our endeavors. GIS³ is currently offering two workshops that focus on the social applications of GIS, including techniques for working with census data. These workshops are designed for researchers, planners, analysts, nonprofit organizations, and small businesses who want to apply GIS techniques to social research. "Community GIS: An Introduction to Social Mapping" and "Beyond Tables and Graphs: Mapping the Census" will be held in Chicago, IL, Washington, DC, Portland, OR and Denver, CO throughout the month of September. Registration, class description and dates available online.
