Route 66

  • Opened in the 1920’s
  • First major east/ west road in the US
  • Modernization/ personal vehicles made it a

recreational activity to go “motoring”

  • Cultural significance
  • Construction of Interstate system in the mid-

1950’s

  • Has endured as a tourist attraction

Geospatial Technologies and Landscape Architecture

  • Well rounded educational opportunity
  • Project scope evolves throughout
  • Multi-disciplinary education
  • Pivotal for design education to mimic real world

application

  • Faculty can conduct applied research
  • Positive impacts for Oklahoma communities
  • Connecting University to the taxpayers
slide-12

Research Methods

  • Applied Research
  • Assesses theories, knowledge, methods, techniques
  • Qualitative Research
  • Why and how?
  • Results relate to specific cases(s) and general

conclusions are only hypotheses

Geodesign and Landscape Architecture

  • What is Geodesign?
  • “Geodesign is the thought process comprising the creation of

entities in geographic space.” –Bill Miller

  • “Geodesign is designing with nature in mind.” –Jack Dangermond
  • “Geodesign is changing geography by design.” –Carl Steinitz
  • “Geodesign is both an old idea and a new idea.” –Jack Dangermond

GIS Methodology (Workflow)

  • GIS Workflow from Making Spatial Decision: Using GIS, A Workbook
  • by Kathryn Keranen and Robert Kolvoord
  • GIS Workflow

1.

Define the problem or scenario

2.

Identify the deliverables (mostly maps) needed to support the decision

3.

Identify, collect, organize, and examine the data needed to address the problem

4.

Document your work

  • Create a process summary
  • Document your map
  • Set the environments

5.

Prepare your data

6.

Create a basemap or locational map

7.

Perform the geospatial analysis

8.

Produce the deliverables, draw conclusion, and present the results
