Summary:

This project involved creating a detailed land use mix map for the urban municipality of Woodstock using ArcGIS Pro.

Key tasks included:

• Data Preparation: Integrated multiple feature classes into a geodatabase and defined projections for accuracy.

• Geographic Transformation: Converted coordinates to NAD 1989 UTM Zone 17N.

• Land Use Analysis: Created a zoning map, clipped features to respective zones, and applied unique symbology for clear visualization.

• Land Use Mix Calculation: Used the entropy equation to determine the diversity of land use categories, resulting in a moderate level of land use diversity.

Skills Gained:

• Proficiency in ArcGIS Pro and geographic transformation techniques.

• Ability to analyze and visualize land use patterns.

• Effective map design and data summarization skills.

This project highlighted the importance of accurate map projections and effective design in urban planning.
