GIS LABORATORY EXERCISE 1

Formulate a GEOGRAPHC QUESTION
Activity Date: November 28, 2016

1. In the Research Methods subject, you were asked to prepare 5 reaction papers. Now using these readings, try to compose
geographic Questions for each, the write them in the box below. Be ready to share this to the class.

Example…

What is the importance of physical boundaries in a marine environment?

2. The same reaction papers, list down at least 2 for each the LAYERS and its type of data that you think it may answer the
GEOGRAPHIC QUESTION you wrote above in the table
Example

LAYER NAME VECTOR RASTER

1) coastline yes yes
2) beach sand yes yes
3) mangrove yes yes
4) fishpen boundary (lot/property yes no
survey)
5) fishpen (production area yes yes
6) monument yes no
7)
8)
9)
10)

3. From those layers you have listed above, write down each LAYER NAME in the 1st row, then list down at least three (3)
ATTRIBUTE FIELDS for the every LAYER

Example

LAYER NAME ATTRIBUTE 1 ATTRIBUTE 2 ATTRIBUTE 3

1) coastline MSL barangay municipality
2) beach sand MSL Salvage zone public
3) mangrove MSL Protected/NIPAS Production/ecotourism
4) fishpen boundary FLA Volume/production Production/agriculture
(lot/property survey)
