Assignment I

Basic Tool
Learning Objective:
 How to use GIS Software (ArcGIS) and its basic tools to perform the basic GIS functions and
generate a desired output.
 Application of GIS on DRM

Data Source:
 Administrative boundaries : Admin.shp
 Building footprint layer : Building.shp
 Police force layer : Poloce_station.shp
 River layer : River.shp
 Road layer : Road.shp

There are 4796 buildings in the Smart City classify into 3 categories based on the size of the
building as define as:

Type of Building Area (m2) Relocation Cost (USD)

Small Building < 150 5,000

Medium Building 150– 300 10,000
Large Building >300 25,000

There was a big flood event in year 2015 and the lots of damage were occurred. Finally, the
government came up with the flood inundation risk zone. It divided into two risk zones (high and
low zone) ‐ High risk zone of the flood inundated 150 meter from the center line of the river ‐
Low risk zone of the flood inundated 300 meter from the center line of the river.
