The San Francisco Demographic Analysis Workshop will teach you to extract,
query, download, analyze, and map Census demographic data for San Francisco
and surrounding communities. Such data can provide grant writers, social
researchers and community planners with powerful tools for analyzing
community changes.
This workshop also provides an introduction to geographic information
systems (GIS) which includes an overview of GIS trends and common uses,
where to easily obtain mapping files for San Francisco, a demonstration of
the map browser ArcExplorer (included with your materials), hands on
practice making basic maps online and suggestions for making effective
maps. This is a streamlined, "hands on" workshop where each participant
works on his or her own computer throughout the day.
