Peter O'Connor, Head of Geography at Bishop's Stortford College, has written a highly adaptable, step-by-step guide to setting up a fieldwork case study based on the urban structure of Bishop's Stortford.
The project uses the ESRI ArcGIS software, and Peter guides the reader through the process of setting up the project, getting started with the software, and using analytical and graphical tools to produce impressive land use maps.
Although based on the urban structure of Bishop's Stortford, the techniques addressed through the case study can be easily adapted to other locations and topics.
