Elements of Cartography
• Projection
• Scale
• Grid
• Coordinate System
• Orientation
• Legend
How to set them up in ArcGIS?
14
ProjectionIn order to transfer the 3 dimensional form of the earth into a 2 dimensional plane (to project), a projection is needed.

15
Choosing the projection type
Type Genomic Stereographic Orthographic
Light source
Vanishing point at the geocenter
Vanishing point opposite to the projection center
Vanishing point so far away that radiation dips in parallel
Properties true-to-scale, where meridians and parallels cross, neither orthomorphic nor equal-area
orthomorphic, true-to-scale, where meridians and parallels cross
only true-to-scale in the projection center, neither orthomorphic nor equal-area
Application Circular regions In case of satellite impages
Examples of azimuthal map projections
16
Examples of conic map projections
Type Lambert Conformal Conic
Albers Equal-Area Conic
Properties Orthomorphic Equal-area
Application For large-scale and middle-scale maps of the middle latitudes
The parallels stand in pole proximity closer together than at the equator; is still often used in the USA today.
17
Examples of cylindric map projections
Type Mercator Transverse Mercator Projection
Figure Normal axial projection Mercator projection rotated 90^
Properties Orthomorphic, parallel distances increase proportionally from the equator to the scale
Orthomorphic
Pplication For navigation and illustrations near to the equator
Recommended for regions with N-S extent (G-K, UTM basic)

Three-dimensional coordinate systems can be defined with respect to
two orthogonal planes

Different Systems
• Postal Codes
• Utility Pole Coordinates
• And…..so on.. So Here we need to concern more…..
1.Whether one coordinate system can be transformed to another?
If Yes,
How to do it?
2.Do you know how ArcGIS activate the function?
3. Where is the Taiwanese Grid System?

If you are using ArcMap, do you know how to set up those features?

Definition of GIS
GIS is1. a computer system designed to allow users to collect, m
anage and analyze large volumes of spatially referenced information and associated attribute data.<www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/library/documents/glossary/G.htm>
2. An organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information.www.fws.gov/data/IMADS/glossary.htm
36
3.地理信息系統又稱 GIS(Geographic information system) 系統,台灣則稱為地理資訊系統。 GIS 是一門綜合性學科 , 已經廣泛的應用在不同的領域 . ,是用於輸入、存儲、查詢、分析和顯示地理數據的電腦系統,可以分為以下五部分:
• 人員,是 GIS 中最重要的組成部分。開發人員必須定義 GIS 中被執行的各種任務,開發處理程序。 熟練的操作人員通常可以剋服 GIS軟體功能的不足,但是相反的情況就不成立。最好的軟體也無法彌補操作人員對 GIS 的一無所知所帶來的負作用。
• 數據,精確的可用的數據可以影響到查詢和分析的結果。
• 硬體,硬體的性能影響到處理速度,使用是否方便及可能的輸出方式。
• 軟體,不僅包含 GIS 軟體,還包括各種資料庫,繪圖、統計、影像處理及其它程序。
• 過程, GIS 要求明確定義,一致的方法來生成正確的可驗證的結果。

A GIS Joke
Why a customer purchase GIS software?
Because
His or her neighbor gets one!!!

People
• Who would use it ?
• Can they use it effectively?
• What’s the aims and objectives they use it ?
• Benefit whom ?
• By which way (Process)?
42
Data
• What is it?
• Where is it?
• How expensive is it?
• How to get it?
• How to use it?
43
Hardware
• What hardware do we have?
• Can it run GIS software fluently?
Analysis• What is our analytical process?• Does it agree with the ‘‘Standards’’?• How to demonstrate the results?• What’s the next of getting results?

Data structure
1.Vector and Raster
Source: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/gisfiles
46
Comparison
Vector• relatively low data
volume• faster display• can also store
attributes• less pleasing to the
eye• doesn't dictate how
features should look in a GIS
Raster• relatively high data
volume• slower display• has no attribute
information• more pleasing to the eye• inherently stores how
features should look in a GIS
47
2.Tabular Data
Comma or tab delimited text (.txt)
dBase (.dbf) file containing coordinate data
(X, Y coordinate)
48
Spatial Data Types Supported by ArcView
• ArcView supports a wide variety of data formats for direct read as well as data import and export.
• Direct read of vector data including shapefiles, coverages, VPF, and CAD (DXF, DWG, DGN)
• Direct read of rasters (images) including ESRI GRID, ERDAS IMAGINE, BMP, IMG, GIF, JPEG 2000, NITF, MrSID, and TIFF
• Direct read of other data including TIN, DBF, TXT, INFO, and ODBC • Export from image/raster to MrSID, GRID, IMAGINE, and TIFF • Export from shapefile to AGF, DXF, and the geodatabase

FinallyIt’s time to begin it !!!Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues form the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it.Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Begin it now.
Goethe
