INTRODUCTION

Thematic map is a map representing a specific spatial distribution, theme or topic.

School Network shows location of various schools.

School network map certain the number of schools and the main roads linking them.

Helps in the education sector for future references(like policy making on education sector, establishing new school on an area)Thursday , July 26,2012

Contd…Various kind of visualization can be done for

various kind of data.

Types of data and visualization:1.Nominal data: Data of different nature/characteristics of

things(qualitative).eg.land-use map and education-network map.

can be best shown by varying shape to show they are unrelated.

2. Ordinal data: Data with a clear element of order, not quantitatively determined.eg.graveled road and pitch road. can be best shown by varying value.



5

Contd…3. Interval data: Quantitative information with arbitrary zero.eg.temperatue data. can be best shown by varying value

4. Ratio data: Quantitative data with absolute zero on the scale.eg.number of male and female can be best shown by varying size.

RATIONALE

Lack of thematic map showing the spatial distribution of school in Banepa.

Increasing urbanization of Banepa and relative growing trend of schools.

As a future reference for policy maker to take necessary steps.

OBJECTIVESTo create a map with the schools distribution in Banepa.

To show the male-female proportion, teacher-student proportion and total number of students and teachers.

Literature review:Library consultation: Internet.Consulting seniors and supervisors.

Data CollectionCo-ordinates using GPS Method.Attribute data relating school information.

Final OutputSchool Network map using Arc GIS software and

various analysis.

Contd…Graphics variables:An elementary way to which graphics symbols are distinguish from each other.

Bertin’s visual variables:An elementary way in which point, line and area symbols can be graphically varied.

Visual variables are:SizeShapeValue (lightness or color tints)TextureColorOrientation

Fig: Map showing ratio data using size visual variable



13

Contd…Since our data is ratio , so we used size

Variable to show variation.

Proportion point symbol to use bar chart and pie chart.
