EA 102 PO - Community Mapping: Immigrant Geographies (CP)
CrsNo EA 102 PO
When Offered: Fall 2012.
Instructor(s): A. Kim
This course is an introduction to Community Mapping, using Geographic Information Systems software (ArcGIS). The theme for this semester is “Immigrant Geographies” and we will be using a limited set of available secondary data to analyze and visualize the urban experiences of immigrants in Los Angeles. Students will gain a basic understanding of the software as a tool for social mapping. By the end of the course each student will create maps illustrating a variety of aspects of city-life, including but not limited to socio-economic status, immigration patterns, housing rents and land values, educational attainment, and poverty levels in different communities. This year our community partner is the Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance and the class will go on at least one field trip to the study site.
