Installing UrbanFootprint¶
Technical Level: Very High
Subjects:
1:00 hour (3:00+ to complete an installation): Installation Link
2 Day Curriculum¶
Intended Audience: Land use planners, transportation planners, GIS staff
Technical Level: High - very high
The two day curriculum prepares a user to understand how to use UrbanFootprint for defining, editing, and evaluating scenarios. The focus is on the scenario planing applications of UrbanFootprint and the specific tasks that need to be accomplished in order to build a scenario from base data.
The students will gain an understanding of what scenario planning is, and why it is done. They will be trained in how to apply those lessons to the creation of a scenario in a hands-on environment. As part of this training an overview of the analytical modules, base data creation, and the installation and deployment process of UrbanFootprint will be presented. Depending on resources and student skills the level of detail in all three categories (analytical modules, base data, and installation) may be customized. At the conclusion of the class students should understand what is needed to run UrbanFootprint, though only students with exceptional existing GIS and Linux experience are likely to be able to operate UrbanFootprint independently.
3 Hour Curriculum¶
Intended Audience: Land use planners, transportation planners, GIS staff, other interested individuals.
Technical Level: Medium
The three hour curriculum is intended to familiarize the students with what UrbanFootprint is, how it can be used for scenario planning, and familiarize the student with the process in a hands-on experience. Brief notes will be given on the installation of UrbanFootprint and on base data creation, but these topics will not be covered in detail.
