We outline our work on a tool that allows the DPR’s GIS department to input the type of recreation (such as playgrounds, basketball courts, swimming pools, etc.), buffer around those locations and summarize the population within those buffers using GTFS data.

This is the second in a series of articles on applying Map Algebra to solving problems. In the last installment, I discussed beginning to develop a habitat model as an example through which to apply map algebra. Now that there is a defined study area, it is time to dig into the model itself.
Over a series of blog posts, we will take a look at map algebra functions (that are currently or will be soon incorporated into GeoTrellis) by creating a site suitability model using wildlife habitat preferences.
In this blog, we provide some background and analysis around PA’s new voter ID law and how it differently impacts ethic groups.
