Final Weekly Post!

The map I found is really fascinating! You can change places to see a luminous city and use zoom in-and-out.

I wish I could make like this. I think this might be possibly made by using Javascript.

Luminous Cities

Unfortunately, the earthquake hit Nepal on April 25 and nearly killed more than 7,000 people.

Proposal Project Change!

I am a huge fan of manga (Japanese comic books) titled "One Piece". The treasure, "One Piece," is left somewhere in the world by the famous Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Before Roger's execution, he announced his treasure will be available to anyone who finds it. This starts causing the Great Pirate Era.

A young man named Luffy, is inspired by powerful pirate Red Haired Shanks, sails off on a journey to find One Piece. His dream is to become King of the Pirates. In order to reach One Piece, he wants to organize his own crew and needs a powerful ship that can survive on a journey. Through his journey, he encounters numerous races and villains.

 Here is the world of One Piece maps:

How amazing these maps are?! Yes, these maps look strange! I will not explain details here! :)

For the final project, I will map out a One Piece map. I will make a map on my own like the map above. An interactive map will be added. it will display a ship moving to each island where Luffy goes on his journey, where he finds his crew, and encounters numerous villains. When a ship arrives an island, the pictures and small plots will pop out.

Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I plan on mapping out a Russian population. The audience for this project will be the demographers and others who are very fascinated with populations.

What I want to show: show: an interactive timeline of population and issues (depopulation, WWII) that impacts population.

Thanks to TimeMaps website for inspiring me for my project. This website displays the entire world including the icons that can be tapped to zoom in for historical summary.

I will be using the Flash because I don’t know much about D3 (it drove me crazy!) so Flash will be a good idea to use. The map you will see is the main page that displays Russia. Two small squares will be put below this map. Both squares will converted to a button.  One left square will be clicked to display Russia with subdivisions including issue summaries and pictures. Another right square will be clicked to display charts of population.

Here are the steps below what I will work on.

1)      Add Russia shapefile from ArcMap

2)      Make a main page and add a Russia map picture

3)      Use rectangle tool to create two squares, then convert these to buttons.

4)      Add population data to each subdivision.

5)      Convert subdivisions to the buttons.

6)      Add Zoom In and Out for each subdivision.

7)      Add a summary of issues to each button on subdivision.

8)      Hover over subdivisions to make pictures displayed.

9)      Add population history charts

10)  Add a Back button to the “main page”

11)  Add a splash screen.

For these steps I will work for now. I might add something new if I have an idea.

As for the obstacles I foresee are adding Russia shapefile to Flash, a splash screen and buttons. I will figure out how to add Russia shapefile to the Flash.  It involves ArcMap importing shapefule to the Flash. I would like to add a splash screen, but I don’t sure how yet. I just want it to be creative. I am working on understanding how buttons work and how to use Back button to the “main page”.

Russia has many subdivisions so I hope to be able to find more population data and history for all subdivisions. Further Eastern Russian seems to have less population data and history due to the lesser cities so I will do my best finding data. My goal to accomplish what I have done so far and to make the map presentable.

Using D3 and GeoJSON!!

7 cities in Virginia

Splash Screen and Pictures added!

World Atlas Timeline

Zoom in to see my comment!! When you are done with typing year (any year you will like to look at) in all the blanks, you can click Play to see changes in the map! It's so fascinating that you can put random year and then play it to see it! :)

Weekly Map #4

I hope all of you is enjoying your spring break!!! Here is it I found:

Territorial Expansion of the United States

It's really hard to find good tween interactive maps. Though, this map is not bad. This map shows the territorial expansion of the United States between 1783 and 1853.

Weekly Map #3

Small Area Icome and Poverty Interactive Map

This link takes you to the United States Census site. There are a lot of various estimates you can check out. The map I selected is above. When you open this, you can see the map and the map legend on left side. You can change it under the map legend to see results on the map. The colors will change.

Weekly Map #2

Source: http://www.timemaps.com/history

This site is pretty fascinating!! It shows how much has been changed over time.

 As you are looking at the map, you can see icons over countries and you can cursor over icons to view. If you want to look at Europe, you can click it and zoom in. Below is what it will look like:

Moreover, there are buttons that show years, you can see change over time by clicking.

Lab 1 - Earthquake hits Banda Aceh, Indonesia

Below are two images of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Unfortunately, the massive earthquake struck the Indian Ocean off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia on December 26, 2004. Two images you are looking at, shows before and after effects of a tsaumai.

Before

After

These images are the satellite views that were taken two days after the incident. "After" image discloses  a flooded, devastating landscape. Roads and brides were destroyed.  Houses were collapsed. These images accentuate how much has changed before and after the effects of a tsunami.

My first blog and Weekly Map #1!!

Michael Gastner's Cartogram

I find cartogram really fascinating. This map shows the sizes of geographic regions in proportion to the world population. The sizes will change constantly as the world population continues increasing.
