Assessment 3 Procedure Log Template - GIS 280 Your Name Date(s) Work Conducted Computing Environment (e.g., personal PC running Windows 10 with ArcGIS Pro 2.9) ***All yellow text should be removed and replaced with your own information*** Final Problem Statement: Real or Hypothetical Problem: Both are fine! Who & Why : Address ‘Who’ is interested in exploring the spatial relationships and ‘Why’ they are interested. Criteria and Discussion of thresholds rationale - attribute thresholds (quantitative), specific attribute value(s) (qualitative), or distance relationship rationale used in your site selection criteria: Underline :  The layer whose features will be selected to meet your criteria  Every data layer needed to enforce each of your criteria  Select by Attribute - thresholds (quantitative) or value(s) (qualitative)  Select by Location - distance thresholds Criteria 1: Put Criteria Here Rationale 1: Put Rationale Here Criteria 2: Put Criteria Here Rationale 2: Put Rationale Here Criteria 3: Put Criteria Here Rationale 3: Put Rationale Here Criteria 4: Put Criteria Here Rationale 4: Put Rationale Here *** You will only need Criteria/Rationale 4 if you utilize both a B3 and B4 style question. Results Layer: Which layer will contain the features from your final selection?  It will either be a set of existing features (e.g., parks/facilities from the Example) OR set of political or natural boundaries (e.g., incorporated places in which an airport can be located) that is appropriately sized, given the qualities and size of the feature to be created.  There must be agreement between these final selected features and the problem statement. 1

o If you say you are selecting a boundary/area to place something new, you will need a set of boundary features as your final selection result. If you say you need to modify an existing feature(s), you will need your final selection to be from those existing features. Secured Data Table : Additional data directions:  You may add additional columns for additional data if your project requires additional data. Three (3) data layers is the minimum data requirement.

 Select _______ using the locations of the selected ________ meeting B1 Criteria 1a (fill in the blanks)  Selection > Select by Location  Select by Location dialog box  Selection method: __________ (e.g., Select features from)  Target layer(s): _____________  Source layer: ________________  Use selected features: Check box  Spatial selection method for target layer feature(s): ___________ (e.g., are within the source layer feature)  Click Apply and OK  Result: There are ______ (number) out of _____ (number) ________ (features of interest) that are within the ___________ (boundary type) boundaries in __________ (geospatial extent) with a ______________ (attribute) greater than/less than/equal to _________ (threshold/attribute value). B3. How many Features of interest/boundaries for site selection are within the boundaries of the previously selected Boundary Features and also within some distance of some other feature?  Your Question Here - include components of space, time, and attribute  Build on previous selections  Criteria 2 - Select by Location 2: Find _____________ (describe analytical approach)  Select from currently selected _____ meeting B2 Criteria 1b using the locations of ______ and a distance threshold of _________ (fill in the blanks)  Selection > Select by Location  Select by Location dialog box  Selection method: __________ (e.g., select from the currently selected features)  Target layer(s): _____________  Source layer: _________________  Spatial selection method for target layer feature(s): ________________ (e.g., are within a distance of the source layer feature)  Apply a search distance: Check box  Type: ______  Select distance ______ (e.g., Miles) in the drop-down menu  Click Apply and OK  Result: There are ______ (number) out of _____ (number) ________ (features of interest) that are within the ___________ (boundary type) boundaries in __________ (geospatial extent) with a ______________ (attribute) greater than/less than/equal to _________ (threshold/attribute value) and also within _____ (distance threshold) of an _______ (other feature). 4

B4. How many Features of interest/boundaries for site selection are within the boundaries of the previously selected Boundary Features and within some distance of some other feature and more than some distance away from existing Feature(s) of interest/boundaries ?  Your Question (if B4 exists) - include components of space, time, and attribute  Remember, you need a minimum of three (3) questions/selection methods employed, modeled after the specific question/selection styles presented in B1-B4.  At least one (1) “Select by Attribute” method employed and two (2) “Select by Location”  At this point, I have met the final project criteria, using the suggested combination of [B1, B2, B3].  If I were to conduct this next analysis step, my procedure might be:  Build on previous selections  These layer(s) selections need to be cleared: ___________ (if any)  These layer(s) selections do not need to be cleared: ___________ (if any)  I have chosen to have Criteria 3a/Criteria 3b(a removal)/both Criteria 3a and Criteria 3b:  Criteria 3a - Select by Attributes 2: Find ________ (describe analytical approach)  Select __________ using the _____________ attribute of greater than/less than/equal to __________ (fill in the blanks)  Selection > Select by Attributes  Select by Attributes dialog box  Layer: ____________  Method: ___________ (e.g., Create a new selection)  Expression: ________________  Click OK  Result/Intermediate Result: There are ______ (number) out of _____ (number) ________ (boundary type) in ____ (geospatial extent) that have a ______ (attribute) greater than/less than/equal to ______ (threshold/attribute value).  Criteria 3b - Select by Location 3: Find ________ (describe analytical approach)  Remove from currently selected __________ meeting B3 Criteria 2 using the locations of __________ meeting B4 Criteria 3a (fill in the blanks)  Selection > Select by Location  Select by Location dialog box  Selection method: ______________ (e.g., remove from the currently selected features in)  Target layer(s): _______________  Source layer: _________________ a. Use selected features: Check box 5
