Introduction to Python Programming Workshop

Python is now regarded as one of the most popular programming languages of all, if not the most popular. This is especially true for GIS-related requirements, with Python being front and central when it comes to making the most of the ArcGIS technology suite. This workshop will provide an introduction to Python programming without reference to GIS topics, but with an emphasis on preparing attendees for further learning with respect to GIS scripting and development. The workshop will also be helpful for anyone wishing to use Python for other purposes. Three topics will be covered in the workshop: (1) getting started with Python; (2) the use of JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition [jetbrains.com], a rich, powerful, and free Integrated Development Environment (IDE); and (3) Python fundamentals, including functions, classes and objects, and error handling. Intended Audience: Anyone wishing to learn the fundamentals of Python programming.

Prerequisite Requirements: There are no prerequisite requirements. It will be assumed that attendees have little experience with Python or are starting from scratch. Format and Technical Requirements: The workshop will consist of a balance between lecture material and demonstrations, which forms the basis for a flexible and interactive training approach. There will be plenty of time for discussion and experimentation, which will result in a rich and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Attendees must bring their own laptop and instructions for setting up the required software will be provided prior to the workshop.
Presenter Details: David Howes is a geospatial information scientist and the sole owner at David Howes, LLC (dhowes.com [dhowes.com]) in Seattle, WA, specializing in the development of GIS tools, processes, and supporting infrastructure for a variety of clients from small operations to multinational corporations.

Earth Engine

Using remote sensing and climate model data in Earth Engine with Dr. Nicholas Kohler This workshop is an introduction to the ‘big data’ analysis capabilities of Google Earth Engine via the Python API, including accessing remote sensing and earth model data collections, calculating spectral indices, and sampling environmental variables for areas of interest. Two examples are used in the workshop. One examines the legacy of redlining in the United States - using the 'area descriptions' created by the US 'Home Owners' Loan Corporation' (HOLC) in the late 1930s (the origin of the term ‘redlining’). Based on measures such as land surface temperature, vegetation greenness, and seasonal temperature variation, modern day environmental conditions are compared across differently graded neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon. The second example uses Sentinel-2 data to estimate the impacts of the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire and post-fire response on the forest landscape of the McKenzie River, Oregon.

Prerequisites: Students need an Earth engine account and provide their own laptop.
Instructor Information: Dr. Kohler teaches courses in remote sensing, geospatial data science, and human-environment relations at the University of Oregon. His research concerns natural and cultural world heritage management and conservation, land use change related to economic development, environmental monitoring with remotely sensed data, crowdsourced database development and mapping, and the geography of outdoor adventure sports.

ArcGIS Experience Builder Development Considerations

ArcGIS Experience Builder is described by Esri as "a highly configurable solution for building compelling web apps without writing code." Coding, however, provides significant additional benefits, either through the creation and installation of custom widgets or through more traditional application customization, which involves, for example, adding code that runs in response to browser events. In this collaboration session, an overview of these options and associated development considerations will be provided in a manner that is designed to be helpful to both developers and non-developers alike, with explanations supported by comparisons with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder development technology. In view of the scheduled retirement of ArcGIS Web AppBuilder in July 2024, the transition to Experience Builder will also be addressed and, as always for GISPD.com sessions, attendees will be encouraged to engage with their fellow GIS professionals to further their understanding of the topic at hand.

Districting the City of Portland

In 2022, the residents of the City of Portland approved a ballot measure to revise its election system and implement the creation of four geographic areas to elect councilmembers by district rather than at-large. A 13-member Independent District Commission, selected by the City of Portland, was tasked with the creation of the four districts. Starting with the November 2024 election, constituents of each district will elect three councilmembers to represent them on Portland’s City Council.
FLO Analytics was selected by the City in 2023 to provide technical expertise in redistricting principles, analyze data and maps to assist the Commission in their work, and ultimately to draw the boundaries of the four districts at the direction of the Commission. The criteria to draw the four districts was based on widely used federal redistricting criteria. Districtr—an open-source, browser-based tool—was used by the Commission and public to draw and submit their maps. Over 200 publicly submitted maps were analyzed by FLO and were considered by the Commission. 
 
Creating districts is an extremely data intensive process. Over 50 spatial datasets were provided to the Commission from a wide variety of sources, including the 2020 Census, Metro RLIS, the American Community Survey (2017–2021), and a variety of other sources. These datasets informed the Commission on demographics, socio-economic status, transportation, housing, voter turnout, historically redlined communities, and more.

Using GIS to work towards sustainable supply chains

There are a growing number of regulations, certifications, and voluntary targets for corporations to minimize the environmental impact of their supply chains. The Science Based Targets Network created voluntary targets for corporations to protect land critical for biodiversity and carbon in their supply chains. At the World Resources Institute, we used GIS to analyze and combine global and local land cover and land use data to create a baseline map of natural and semi-natural lands in 2020, called the SBTN Natural Lands Map, for companies to compare against to ensure they have not converted these lands to agricultural uses. We used definitions of ‘natural’ created by the Accountability Framework initiative, a consortium of organizations, focused on protecting lands with high biodiversity and carbon storage to degraded croplands and pastures. We began with global land cover and land use data, and then included some local data. Since this baseline map is intended to be used at the farm level, it was important to include local data where possible. While ample data were available for forested lands, non-forested lands had much less data available to help delineate natural from non-natural land. With emerging data on grasslands and pastures, the ability to map non-forest lands will continue to improve.

Portland’s Urban Forest: From LiDAR to Analysis

A climate resilient city means understanding our most important environmental assets: trees. The Urban Forestry division of Portland Parks and Recreation (Urban Forestry) has been analyzing the urban forest through tree inventories and aerial imagery analysis for over a decade. This data is used to inform policy, direct tree planting efforts to help populations vulnerable to urban heat island effects. Through a regional partnership administered by Oregon Metro (Metro), the City of Portland has access to higher quality remote sensed data like LiDAR. For the LiDAR flights that took place in 2014 and 2019, Metro’s GIS staff took the raw data and generated a tree canopy raster for the region. Metro’s methodology included shape-based data cleanup and shadow removal. Discovering the comparability between the datasets from the different years was also an important part of the data processing. With the canopy datasets created by Metro publicly accessible, Urban Forestry was able to analyze Portland’s tree canopy even further by identifying canopy cover citywide as well as across local authoritative boundaries. Many of the analyses on canopy cover were made into maps and aggregated into a public tool called Tree Canopy Explorer PDX. When opportunities for interagency collaboration occur, more informed decision making can happen; just as the discussions between Metro and the Urban Forestry on the LiDAR derived canopy data helped make the Tree Canopy Explorer tool possible.

Mapping Oregon’s Future: The Statewide Parcels Pilot Project

Oregon is embarking on an ambitious endeavor: the creation of a seamless statewide parcel feature service. This initiative, known as the Statewide Parcels Pilot Project, commenced in the fall of 2023 following the release of the Oregon Geographic Information Council’s (OGIC) Strategic Plan for Geospatial Data Management. OGIC’s commitment to data sharing and governance within the state set the stage for collaboration between the Department of Administrative Services Geospatial Enterprise Operations (DAS GEO) Oregon Framework Program and the pilot counties.
The project aims to tackle some of the most challenging data elements in the Framework Inventory, focusing specifically on parcels. However, the ultimate goal extends beyond parcels alone. By establishing a proof of concept for a statewide parcels, the project seeks to create a model that can be replicated for other datasets originating from local jurisdictions. These datasets should be publicly accessible, regularly updated, and continuously improving in quality and completeness over time.
To address the multifaceted challenges, the Statewide Parcels Pilot Project team has turned to 1Spatial and their automation tools. These tools streamline data submissions, automate validation, and facilitate aggregation processes. While the immediate focus remains on parcels, the broader vision is to foster a data ecosystem that benefits all Oregonians by providing reliable, up-to-date geospatial information.

Incorporating 'Middle Housing' into the RLIS housing database

House Bill 2001 allowed for middle housing (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, cottage clusters, and townhouses) in residential areas in the Portland region and other large cities within Oregon. Senate Bill 458 allows lot divisions for middle housing that enable them to be sold or owned individually. In this talk, we will look at the types of housing we have seen getting built over the past few years in the Portland region, both on the ground and in the data. We will also discuss how these two new laws might be affecting the types of housing getting built, and how Metro’s housing data is adapting to accommodate current housing types and required reporting for the upcoming Urban Growth Report.

Terrestrial Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is not just limited to aerial platforms. Modern mobile devices contain high-quality cameras and increasingly have LiDAR and depth sensors built in. When combined with high-accuracy GNSS systems, these mobile devices can quickly collect accurate data for utilities, infrastructure, inspection, as-builts, construction, and more. Utilizing these readily available devices can reduce project delays, capture better documentation of utilities, and lay the foundations for digital infrastructure. We will explore how the workflows for terrestrial photogrammetry are similar to existing drone workflows and cover the best data collection and processing practices. Specific use cases will be presented, highlighting benefits for project managers, customers, and investigators and the lessons learned.

Mapping GIS: an ethnographer’s journey into a strange new land

Imagine you were an anthropologist who has always liked maps in an offhand sort of way, but didn’t think all that much about it (crazy, right?). Now imagine one day you find yourself working for Esri: deep in the heartland of “the science of where.” What is this place? Who dwells here? What are their natural habitats, and how do the topographical features, the systems architecture, the various industries shape their respective customs? What distinguishes the denizens of local and regional government from the natural resource consultants? In this talk, with great hubris and foolhardy bravado, I will share my journey of discovery into the world of GIS, and the contours that shape what people do and how they work. I will offer my observations on geological shifts that seem to be changing in ways that might matter and, ultimately, invite you to correct my misperceptions and mislabelings: the dumpster fires mistaken for deities, the shapefiles mistook for parcel fabrics, and the missing fields in my data.

High Resolution Land Cover Data for the U.S. Coastal Zone

The NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) has been an authoritative source for land cover data and change products for the coastal areas of our nation for decades. Land cover is a foundational data set that provides valuable information for a range of applications, including land use planning, disaster risk reduction, and climate adaptation. However, it is expensive to develop and requires expertise to produce consistent and reliable data. Over the last few years, with the help of technological advances and expanded funding, NOAA has been working to establish an operational, higher resolution land cover product line, allowing for more site-specific, local applications than previously possible.

NOAA’s C-CAP program recently released over 1.5 million square miles of 1 meter land cover data for the entire coastal zone, including Alaska and the territories. There will be two phases of product releases. The first phase includes foundational layers - impervious, canopy, and water - for the contiguous US, Alaska, and Pacific and Caribbean territories. The second phase will involve updating these products to include the full C-CAP land cover classification scheme and subsequent change analysis.

This presentation will provide an overview of the data, an update on the schedule for future releases, example applications (e.g., stormwater runoff modeling, restoration planning, Community Rating System mapping activities, risk analysis), and share opportunities to collaborate.

Traffic Signs: Going Digital and Asset Management

The roadmap for bringing Washington County’s traffic signs into the digital GIS world has been a long and challenging journey. The driving factor that greenlit this process was the County’s implementation of a GIS based asset management system. To speed up the data creation process, the County collaborated with a mobile LiDAR contractor for the collection of high accuracy traffic sign and pole locations. The day-to-day operational maintenance of these assets depends on the coordination of supervisors, field staff and GIS workflows for a productive GIS based asset management system.

The Vision for Oregon’s Statewide Imagery Program

Since 2009, the State of Oregon has purchased statewide aerial imagery every 2 years. The data quality has improved over time, but to pay for these products and acquire them consistently is a struggle. Sometimes funding from the legislature is available, but most of the time we are “passing a hat” to collect funds that can contribute to the purchase. The State’s Geographic Information Officer (GIO) has a new vision for Oregon’s Statewide Imagery Program; one that requires an immense amount of planning, collaboration, and commitment from all levels of government in Oregon. Why? Because the goal is to acquire and provide a set of imagery products on a consistent basis that supports all levels of government operating in Oregon. Therefore, the portfolio of imagery and derivative products for this new, refreshed program is quite different. This presentation will provide an overview of the GIO’s vision for the statewide imagery program and discuss the Oregon Imagery Portfolio that is being drafted today to support this endeavor.

Building a Modern and Performant Enterprise GIS Solution

Umatilla Electric Cooperative (UEC), like many smaller organizations, relied on aging GIS software and had limited internal GIS resources to modernize their implementation. However, by committing to employee training efforts and a willingness to budget for targeted and well-scoped external resources, UEC leveraged Esri’s latest technologies to design and implement a modern and performant Enterprise GIS system. This system is built using a cadre of standalone machines with ArcGIS Server 11.2 in a highly available configuration, with several registered geodatabases from a new SQL Server instance. Web services are ultimately published to Esri’s SaaS offering, ArcGIS Online, for consumption by staff. The journey to get there included many lessons learned, including the value of good support, a resilient deployment, and methodological approach to change.

Judicious JSON & Pythonic Precision: Configurable QC for Geospatial Data

We developed a custom and configurable GeoQC platform for PGE to ensure the accuracy of GIS data, providing the foundation for reliable and effective decision-making in utility operations and downstream integrated systems. The platform is automated, spatially aware, and supports multi-user editing and integration with Esri products and exception handling.

We used a configurable design philosophy to build reusable tabular and spatial data quality control tests written in spatial SQL. A single test can be applied to multiple datasets by changing input parameters to discover similar issues across various tables and columns. When a new test case arises, developers can extend the platform by creating custom tabular and spatial tests to check for new data quality issues.

Data quality issues are identified, stored, and reported within a GeoQC database. When features do not pass QC checks, the results are written to the database, which tracks issue history and remediation progress until issues have been resolved. Following the execution of each QC Check, results are cataloged and compared to a historical archive to determine whether a found issue is new, existing, an exception, or resolved.

Using GIS software, editors spatially locate, query, or filter issues by user-defined criteria, edit the offending source feature to resolve issues, or mark issues as exceptions to the test rule. Exceptions can be easily found and periodically reviewed to ensure they are still exceptions.

Introducing: The New MetroMap

MetroMap, a web application developed by Metro, Portland’s regional government, has provided greater Portland with reliable and swift access to Metro’s RLIS (Regional Land Information System) data for nearly 25 years. In the spring of 2023, Metro’s Data Resource Center initiated a project to rebuild MetroMap using modern web technology with the end goal of delivering a contemporary, accessible, and resilient version of the application to the region.

This presentation delves into Metro’s approach to rebuilding this decades-old GIS resource, spanning from the early stages of user research through planning, design, and development. Key focal points include the project team’s establishment of partnerships with a diverse array of users to guide development, the adoption of iterative release cycles, and the incorporation of modern development paradigms such as accessible design, comprehensive automated testing, and improved DevOps practices. Finally, it showcases the application’s modern rendition, MetroMap-Next.

Throughout the rebuild process, the project team found that a user-centric approach and iterative releases allowed the team to respond to user feedback rapidly, keeping the application aligned with user needs. Unexpectedly, this structured approach bolstered creativity by encouraging experimentation and innovation, helping developers overcome the challenge of creating an intuitive web application tailored to serve a large user group with often conflicting needs.

Introduction to ArcGIS Pro Python Tools and Processes

ArcGIS Pro is a powerful GIS desktop application in which great things can be accomplished using the out-of-the-box user interface options. Users can accomplish significantly more, however, and make the most of their ArcGIS investment, by using Python to perform GIS operations and streamline workflows. For this reason, Python experience is almost always a key consideration in GIS-related hiring decisions. This workshop focuses on extending the capabilities of ArcGIS Pro via standalone scripts and tools that can operate within ArcGIS Pro or externally. Three topics will be covered: (1) An overview of using Python with ArcGIS Pro; (2) Developing and running Python scripts; and (3) Creating and using geoprocessing tools. JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition, a rich, powerful, and free Integrated Development Environment (IDE), will be used for all coding activities. Intended Audience: GIS professionals familiar with ArcGIS Pro and Python and wishing to develop GIS tools and processes.

Prerequisite Requirements: Anyone wishing to attend this workshop must also attend the associated workshop, "Introduction to Python Programming." An exception to this requirement will be made if the instructor is satisfied that your level of Python experience is such that attending the introductory workshop is not necessary. If required, please contact the instructor to request a waiver. Format and Technical Requirements: Attendees must bring their own laptop.
Presenter Details: David Howes is a geospatial information scientist and the sole owner at David Howes, LLC (dhowes.com [dhowes.com]) in Seattle, WA, specializing in the development of GIS tools, processes, and supporting infrastructure for a variety of clients from small operations to multinational corporations.
