Community Mapping with GIS

Geospatial Science Mapping in my Community_Keith Anthony Morales

We were given a class project on community mapping and sense of place. It was an opportunity to exercise student voice and learn how to map. When walking around my neighborhood, I learned a lot about the lack of effort that is put into keeping our area safe and clean.

    Community Mapping with GIS is a great skill to learn. Very fortunate to have Mr. Chad Segrist, teacher at Frederick Douglass Academy for Young Men, Detroit. He is an excellent & caring teacher!

    Keith, I’m impressed by how comprehensive your presentation is, and your advanced ability to collect information from multiple sources and tools. You’re a shining example of the possibilities that stem from Place-based education. Amazing work

    This is such a powerful way to connect to your “place” and see how city services impact the quality of your neighborhoods.
    The perspective and analysis of what each pothole, storm drain means to the health of your streets and lots brought new meaning, and perspective to how I view the place I call “home.” And how important it is to know and understand the importance of city services and policies in creating roadways and walkways that are safe, and healthy.

    How has this changed the way you look at different places you travel in and around Detroit?

    Your presentation has really keen observations– I never really noticed storm drains or their locations before looking over your presentation. I thought the next steps you included throughout the slides were really important– do you plan on sharing this with neighborhood leaders or your local government?
