This week was more relaxed, fortunately. The readings were about urban planning and impact assessment. The two maps shown are from an ESRI lab. The first shows location quotients for agriculture/forestry/fishing in local government authorities within the planning area of mythical Pewter City; the other shows the occupancy rate of university students, also in Pewter City. Location quotients are familiar to me because I did a project comparing the demographics of areas around greenway trails to those in towns where the greenways were found - essentially calculating greenway location quotients. So you would think this was easy, though I initially found it confusing because of all the acronyms, especially labels like AG_FRS_Ref for "agriculture, forestry and fishing in the reference area". Eventually my brain kicked in and I was able to complete this one. ESRI labs are generally very straightforward and this one was too, although they don't make you think nearly as hard as the regular labs. But that's a good thing for me this week.
