Hi all,
I promised an update of the mapping project
In the last workshop we covered.
1. Introduce GIS
2. Explore virtual Aro Valley
3. Discuss map purposes/options
4. Outline border
Purposes
According to my notes we are interested in maps that:
Advertise to the wider community what's going on. Potentially to attract new gardeners.
Allow future projects to be conceptualised.
Investigate the geographical gardening history of Aro Valley
Borders
I may not have made the reason for setting borders clear: When the hardcopy maps are printed they will necessarily exclude some areas. There is a compromise between inclusion and scale. Here is link to a working map with the focus areas outlined. Fell free to modify it or make comments or suggestions (you will need a google account).
What next
I am in the process of gathering data relevant to the purposes discussed. When this is done I will print out hardcopies and bring them to the following working bee/potluck for map design etc.
