GeoVis Investigation
The objective of Project 2: GeoViz Group Presentation & Report was to apply advanced visualization techniques to analyze a meaningful real-world issue using spatial data. Students are tasked with selecting an interdisciplinary topic, such as urban planning, public health, or environmental studies, and creating a series of visuals (e.g., maps, charts, graphs) that explore the topic in depth. The final product included a written report, a group presentation with at least 10 visuals, and a one-page handout, allowing students to demonstrate their ability to collect, process, and analyze spatial data while effectively communicating their findings.
For this project, I focused on the accessibility of green spaces for different demographic groups in Colorado Springs. Using spatial data, I analyzed how accessibility varies by race, income level, and age. Maps and charts were created to highlight disparities, showing which areas and groups are underserved in terms of proximity to parks or the number of green spaces within 1 km. My analysis revealed significant variations, with low-income and minority populations experiencing limited access to green spaces. The findings, presented through visuals and narrative, offer insights for urban planning and health equity initiatives, emphasizing the importance of equitable access to green spaces for all demographics.
