Answer from Question 5: What percentage of the city of Vancouver’s total area is under danger. Explain the method used to determine this percentage.

• Right click Vancouver_Danger layer
• Select Attribute Table
• Right click Shape_Area
• Select Statistics
• Here, you can see the Sum of all of the shape areas (15889260.283541m²)
• Next, right click on Vancouvermask and then Attribute Table
• Here, you can get the total shape area under the Shape_Area column (131033339.950334m²)
• To find the percentage, divide the sum of all of the shape areas in the Vancouver_Danger layer by the total shape of the Vancouvermask layer
• 283541m2 / 131033339.950334m2 x 100 = 12.126120184%

Therefore, the percentage of the City of Vancouver’s total area in danger is 12.126120184%.

Answer to Question 6: List the healthcare and educational facilities within the Vancouver danger zone, if any explain how you came up with your answer.

• Go to ArcMap toolbar and select Selection

Accomplishment Statements for each lab:

Lab 1: Studied the basic concepts of ArcGis in order to begin my understanding of the program to best use it in the future in GEOB 270 and future endeavors.

Lab 2: Explored the uses of vector and raster data in ArcGIS in order to produce a map that properly visualizes both to an observer of the map.

Lab 3: Benefited from the use of completing spatial and tabular datasets to manufacture a map that displayed areas of Vancouver that would be at risk if a tsunami were to occur.
