to identify spatial regions deemed as potentially suitable locations for the development of wind energy production

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Task 1 – Descriptive explaining (50%)

a)      Utilization of geospatial information are widely associates in social context with the support of different geospatial applications. (20%)

Discuss the techniques in conducting a geospatial analysis using each following applications and presenting the result / output with social media.

Applications

-     QGIS

-          ArcGIS Online

-          Open Street Maps

-          Google Maps   

 Techniques

-          Data Inputd

-          Data Management

-          Operations and function

-          Data output

b)     The usage of geospatial technology are very minimal in Sri Lanka, comparative to other countries in the world. (30%)

Resources management and Taxation are two (2) different geospatial applications, which can fulfill the current needs of Sri Lankans. Although, these applications can fulfill Sri Lankan needs, they are not being implemented in Sri Lanka, yet. Prepare a proposal to implement those applications in Sri Lanka. Following aspects should be incorporated in each proposal

-          Need assessment

-          Different types of data to be input

-          Proposed functions / operations

-          Expected output

You may refer Esri applications , but not necessary limit it.

Task 2 – Geospatial Application (25%)

Geospatial analysis can be applicable for the matters not only contexts in social, but also environmental, economic and political.

The objective of this exercise is to identify spatial regions deemed as potentially suitable locations for the development of wind energy production. The desire of this particular case is to identify suitable locations for wind energy production in Ward 21 of the Ottawa, Ontario region.

The Provincial Government of Ontario has provided the following restrictions in relation to the spatial placement of wind energy turbines for use of commercial applications:

ü  135m from all existing public roadway

ü  135m from all existing railway lines

ü  1000m from all existing transmission lines

ü  Extent of the spatial region should be greater than 5000ha.

Following data are provided

ü  Wards in Ottawa

ü  Road segments of Ottawa

ü  Railways of Ottawa

ü  Transmission lines of Ottawa

Use the existing CRS (EPSG: 2951) as project CRS and prepare a map to present your result.

Task 3 – Geospatial Modeling through Programming (25%)

Use of python programming to analyze Geospatial data in social context

You are provided all kinds of crime details during first six month of the year 2017 in Colombo Municipal Council area (1-15 divisions). Further details of schools and police stations are also provided. You may use graphs, charts or map, where necessary and explain your answer for following questions.

I.            What are divisions having highest overall crime densities?

II.            What is most occurring crime in each division?

III.            Which month occurred the highest number of crime in each division?

 IV.            Prove/disprove the statement – “Drug occurrence mostly occurs in the areas lesser than 150m from school”.
