2012 Emergency Track, Emergency Preparedness: Using Local and Federal Data an...GIS in the Rockies
This presentation focuses on a case study of river flooding in Reno, Nevada. However, the "how-to" information covered is applicable to any community that experiences disasters. Floods have negative impacts on people and businesses located in flood-prone areas, as well as on the finances of local governments. It's important for emergency management staff to have knowledge of current demographics of citizens who are at risk from flooding. Residents who are elderly, lack transportation, and have fewer financial savings and resources may require special emergency response measures. Decision-makers benefit from advance knowledge about the number of and current values of commercial and residential buildings located in flood-prone areas, because their losses could impact local governments' tax revenue.
This session discusses how GIS professionals can 1) perform overlay analyses of spatial and demographic data from federal and local sources to identify potential human and economic impacts of flooding and 2) create visualization products that show results in a format that emergency responders and decision-makers can easily understand. It covers using data from the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey. Users who are familiar with the 2000 Census data but not the 2010 data will benefit from learning about changes that have occurred. This presentation includes examples of 2-D and 3-D maps created using ArcGIS 10.
A Study on Data Visualization Techniques of Spatio Temporal DataIJMTST Journal
Data visualization is an important tool to analyze complex Spatio Temporal data. The spatio-temporal data
can be visualized using 2D, 3D or any other type of maps. Cartography is the major technique used in
mapping. The data can also be visualized by placing different layers of maps one on other, which is done by
using GIS. Many data visualization techniques are in trend but the usage of the techniques must be decided
by considering the application requirements.

Assessment of Household Income in the City of Toronto, by Census Tract
ABSTRACT
The following two (2) maps illustrate a statistical analysis of household income within the City of
Toronto (Census Division), divided into Census Tracts. The objective of these maps is to visually
corroborate the relationship between socio-economic variables such as household income levels and
the prevalence of such crimes as shoplifting, as well as to accurately depict overall income distribution
within the region. Additionally, the significant affect that statistical classification can have on visual
output is illustrated through multiple inset maps on the same page.
Several key components of GIS spatial analysis were utilized in the creation of these maps:
Spatially joining separate layers to consolidate attribute tables, points/lines/polygons to develop
for advanced research and analysis.
Applying layer-on-layer thematic analysis to determine how many convicted shoplifters fall
within a Census Tract. The same technique can easily be used to determine housing shortages,
gaps in service provision, route calculations, Industrial sites to nearest residential area, etc.
The ability to consolidate and contrast data from within a common geographic boundary is an
immensely important skill for gaining an intimate understanding of the urban fabric, and identifying
opportunities to develop and improve where and how it is needed most.

Thematic Mapping based on Census Variables used by the Region of Peel
ABSTRACT
These three (3) maps may seem to have a general focus with respect to urban demographics,
but what makes them interesting is the resourcefulness and creativity used in making them. I originally
began with a shapefile containing the entire Toronto CMA with an attribute table containing a large
amount of extraneous data. By identifying and isolating the relevant Census Tracts comprising
Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, I was able to create a new shapefile comprised only the Region of
Peel. At this point it was just a simple matter of inserting the relevant variables for my choropleth maps.
Several key components of GIS database management were utilized in the creation of these maps:
Consolidating multiple fields (columns) in the attribute table in order to create meaningful
groupings of data (cut-offs).
Applying field calulations to columns in the attribute table in order to normalize data and
provide meaningful statistical analysis.
Create a new and streamlined shapefile by utilizing data contained in a larger, more
comprehensive database.
Finding the best way to apply the information and resources available is a cornerstone GIS use
and overall researching skills. Oftentimes the answer to a problem is in front of you, ready to be
uncovered through logical thinking and creative use of GIS software.

Creating Effective Thematic Maps for Different Users
ABSTRACT
These four (4) maps represent a selection of housing related variables from four Ontario urban
communities: Oshawa-Whitby, St. Catherines, Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge, and Barrie. The value of
creating these maps was the flexibility and freedom I had in the process. While the geographic areas
were pre-selected, I was left to select the most appropriate housing variables and how to best visualize
them. One of the primary criteria was that each map required a rationale as to who could use the
information provided and to what end? For instance, the map of Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge uses
dot distribution to illustrate the patterns of various dwelling typologies in the region. This information
could be potentially useful for a developer trying to determine which housing typologies are under or
over-represented, and where this is occurring. The map of Barrie illustrates the census tracts containing
the homes in most need of repair. This information could be potentially useful to a proprietor of a home
renovation or construction business. It would be advantageous to have access to such information, as it
might help direct attention toward advertising in these areas. The map of Oshawa-Whitby illustrates the
value ($) of a dwelling, by census tract. This would be useful to both individuals and developers looking
to invest in property in Oshawa or Whitby.
The core skills illustrated through these maps:
An understanding of the relationship between statistical data and the relevant cartographic
design principles/symbology.
Creating a database in ArcMap from the tabular data contained within MS Excel file provided
from a separate source (i.e. Statistics Canada).
Adjusting the map layout to best accommodate the shape and scale of the geography and
maximize the potential of the space provided.
Innovative use of mapping to represent an array of variables, intended for different user-bases.
Being mindful of the intended user of a map is essential. It will serve to inform you during the
research and map creation process, and ultimately dictate the chosen design elements used to display
the variables. It is also important to have a firm understanding of your options with respect to
colouration, symbology and scale, as doing so will increase clarity and communication.

Bell Canada International Calling Rates, 2014 (in $)
ABSTRACT
These two (2) maps take on a more global context and illustrate a comparatively unique dataset.
The value of creating these maps was in how it helped develop resourcefulness with my data
acquisition/implementation abilities. Unlike the demographic data readily provided by Statistics Canada,
the data required for these maps was unprocessed and required considerable manipulation. In essence
the raw data (international calling rates) was copied from the website of Bell Canada into a blank Excel
file, after which point began the arduous task of manually transferring this data into ArcGIS to
correspond with the respective countries. While this seemed tedious, the experience taught me how to
process my own datasets from sources that aren’t immediately usable. This has expanded my research
horizons on subject matter far beyond what Statistics Canada offers. Certain forms of advanced spatial
analysis were also applied, such as radial distance rings, designed to perform a count of total population
within 1000km, 3000km and 5000km of Toronto respectively. This same technique can be used to
analyze a number of other variables including counts of: dwelling typologies, public parks, schools,
churches, businesses, fire halls, etc.
The core skills illustrated through these maps:
The ability to overcome dependency on secondary data sources by identifying and incorporating
useful data from unique and unprocessed sources.
Utilizing appropriate projection based on the global scale of the map.
The ability to perform advanced spatial analysis by utilizing mapping features such as radial
distance measurements.
The sheer volume of secondary data provided through such sources as Statistics Canada, Canada
Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Canada Council for Social Development (CCSD) and open
source data such as Peel Data Center provides a stable foundation for most urban research and analysis.
Every so often however, the need to go beyond these sources and collect primary data is necessary. I am
able to do efficiently do so through personal creativity and innovative use of software.

Network Analysis – Assessing Site Suitability and Coverage Areas
ABSTRACT
These two (2) entries are examples of utilizing geoprocessing functions and network analysis
(of roadways), to determine site suitability. Through network analysis, I was able to assess pre-existing
coverage for the City of Mississauga fire emergency services, as well as identify gaps in service
provision. From this point, I was able to merge the underserviced areas with a property data map,
providing me with a selection of candidate properties on which to build a new fire station. After
further narrowing the selection down through database management and SQL queries, I was provided
with a list of potential properties (16) that would satisfy the necessary land use and size requirements.
Through further network analysis of these properties, I was able to determine which one satisfied the
greatest market share (i.e. greatest number of other properties) and consequently which property
yielded the greatest benefit for constructing one (1) new fire facility. Map # 1 is an illustration of the
coverage area provided by the pre-existing fire stations. The blue squares represent the candidate
sites for a new station, and the gold star represents the site with the greatest potential benefit. Map
#2 is designed to supplement the first map, and provide enhanced locational context for candidate
site. While these techniques have been adapted and applied within the context of municipal planning,
they could equally be used to quickly determine a sites development potential with respect to: land
use designation, local commerce, distance to urban centers, environmental restrictions and
accessibility.
Some of the core abilities used in creating these drawings:
The ability to combine geoprocessing functions with network analysis, to identify gaps in
service provision and conduct site suitability analyis.
Creative application of a number of cartographic and database assets such as: road networks,
property data maps, land use maps, and facility locations.
Quickly and accurately assessing site suitability is an essential skill in planning and development.
The intended purpose will change depending on context, but the foundational principles and
geoprocessing functions remain consistent. I am confident that my understanding of GIS and site
suitability analysis is strong enough to be adapted to the needs of the client, and provide critical insight
in a timely manner.

21. AutoCAD - Single-Detached Two Storey Building Floor Plan
ABSTRACT
These two (2) entries are examples of my ability to use AutoCAD for the creation of 2D floor
plans, based on a pre-existing non-digitized (paper-based) design. Although 2D plan view drawings are
simplistic compared to 3D renderings, they are of enormous importance in the Planning and
Development fields. These two drawings represent the ground level and second level respectively, and
illustrate a number of vital CAD skills. The use of layer management, boundaries and objects, clean
and accurate dimensional lines and annotations, effective use of line colour, and accurate residential
building code requirements are some of the skills that have converged in these drawings. These
drawings began with an empty workspace and were constructed in such a way as to allow quick and
easy editing to be conducted if later required: altering dimensions, changing the system of
measurement, changing colouration of lines and annotations, etc. The same skills can be easily applied
in the creation and/or analysis of a site plan, and tie in very effectively with the capabilities of GIS
software.
Some of the core abilities used in creating these drawings:
Creating and managing a system of layers built around the relevant constructional elements:
Walls, windows, plumbing, appliances, dimension lines, annotations, doors and sweeps,
stairs, appliances, etc. This allows for 3D extrusion to be easily applied if needed.
Clean and effective placement of dimensional lines and annotations.
Construction elements adhere to building code requirement: exterior walls and wet-walls are 6”,
interior walls are 4”, doorframes are 36”, etc.
Accurate scaling when plotted to paper.
Complicated 3D renderings may belong in the realm of a CAD technician; however the ability to
comfortably and efficiently use CAD software for the creation and editing of plan-perspective 2D
drawings is in asset in any facet of the Planning field. A functional understanding of CAD software will
place less dependence on other departments for the completion of common tasks, and therefore makes
for a more versatile team member.

24. CAD to Sketchup Interoperability - Floor Plan Extrusion
ABSTRACT
Utilizing CAD for the initial creation of the building footprint and floor plan is an essential step.
Creating a detailed digital file that accurately portrays physical dimensions and angles is addressed
properly by the strengths of CAD software. Once this is achieved however, the high-level precision of
CAD may not always be the best choice for 3D extrusion and Building Information Modelling (BIM). This
is why it an invaluable skill to understand the software interoperability. Rather than operating each
branch of software in a vacuum (BIM, CAD, GIS), using them to support one another greatly improves
the quality and efficiency of graphical output. These seven (7) Sketchup renderings are all based off of
the same CAD source data (created by myself). The extrusions employ to great effect such principles as:
layer management, component creation and groupings, Ruby Scripts and Sketchup plugins, and the
proper use of Trimble Layout to quickly create an attractive display of the renderings (for client
submissions or portfolios). Furthermore, as the 3D house model is saved as a component itself, it can
easily be shared amongst a team of professionals for further applications, such as architectural
rendering and placement into Google Earth.
Some of the core abilities used in the creation of these renders:
The proper methods of importing and preparing an AutoCAD dwg file into Sketchup for
extrusion and 3D modelling.
Effective use of the Sketchup toolset supplied, including the installation and application of
Ruby Scripts and plugins to streamline my workflow and produce a superior product.
Properly organizing Sketchup geometry to create components for future use, and sharing
with other people.
Utilizing supporting software like Trimble Layout to quickly create a consistent and
attractive display of my conceptualizations and 3D models.
The ability to synergize different branches of software is perhaps more important now than
ever before. There potential benefit from having a solid grasp of software interoperability cannot be
understated. Efficiency, quality and capabilities will increase exponentially through understanding how
software platforms like GIS, BIM, CAD and Cloud Networking solutions can support one another.

Stefan Michalak, B.URPl
• stefan.michalak@ryerson.ca • (647) 216-5640
Career Objective: To utilize my experience and education in a challenging environment and contribute to lasting,
positive urban development.
Education: B.A., Urban and Regional Planning 2010
Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario
Cert., Applied Digital Geography and GIS September 2014 – Ongoing
Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario
Projects and Accomplishments:
Uptown
Subdivision,
Mississauga
I focused heavily on Phase 2 – Marquee Townhomes (100 townhomes) and Phase 3 – Amber Towers (446
units), accomplishing many development milestones: acquiring conditional building permits in a very short
timeframe, allowing us to pay development charges prior to their indexing (saving approximately $2.3
million), the reduction or complete refund of nearly a dozen letters of credit/municipal security deposits
covering a wide range of conditions (totaling several million dollars), obtaining site plan approval for Phase 3
and ensuring that all other approval applications remained in motion despite several significant design
changes and setbacks (Revision Permits and Minor Variances).
Grand Park
Subdivision,
Mississauga
Grand Park Phase 2 is a 48 storey tower (approximately 470 units). As bulk excavation was underway when I
started (Foundational Permit), I had approximately 3 months to ensure acquisition of our above-grade
structural permit (prior to construction reaching grade). This ensured there were no delays in construction, as
the necessary approvals were in ready and in place. I also gained experience regarding the process of
connecting private access roads to existing municipal infrastructure: Servicing requirements (duct banks and
lighting specifications), costs/materials, and relevant consultants/contractors for design and installation.
Adelaide
Towers,
Toronto
Adelaide Phase 2 is a 48 storey tower (approximately 345 units) – I initiated the PUCC application and
worked through several design conflicts to receive all required clearances. I also conducted review and analysis
of a reciprocal crane swing agreement with the neighbouring owner, to determine if the provisions were
adequate and fair. Other experiences included sourcing/pricing the provision and installation of over 200
vertical bike racks for the parkade levels, coordinating the release of a $1.2 million landscaping security, and
clearing many ASR items for both site plan and building permit approvals. Overall, the Adelaide Development
provided valuable experience, as it has made me comfortable with the land development process in Toronto,
including consideration of local planning initiatives (particularly John Street Revitalization).
Summary of Qualifications
Able to read architectural, engineering and site plan drawings (symbols, line types, wall and door schedules, fire
ratings, suite layouts, etc), site servicing/grading drawings, construction management plans, planting plans, etc.
Able to interpret and apply many municipal/regional/provincial agreements and legislation to inform and drive the
development process (Agreement types: Site Plan, Site Servicing, Development, Encroachment, Section 37, Zoning
and Official Plans).
Exceptional written and oral communication: Able to clearly articulate complex planning designs, concepts, rationales
and recommendations through well-structured reports, charts and correspondence.
Confident and courteous, I have built a positive rapport with many consultants and city officials in Mississauga and
Toronto (plans examiners, planners, legal and realty services, fire prevention personnel, T&W).
Proficient use GIS (ArcMap/MapInfo) and CAD software (AutoCAD/Sketchup) - Please refer to portfolio for examples.
Able to create clear, detailed Excel spreadsheets for budgeting, cost/value analysis, timelines and organizing data.
I have experience in public engagement and community consultation through hosting design charettes and helping

Additional Projects and Accomplishments:
(January 2009 - April
2009)
Stand Up Bridletowne Residents Association- Toronto, ON
Worked alongside Stand Up Bridletowne Residents Association, developers and city councilors to
create an alternative development application for Bridlewood Mall. Our work integrated the concerns
of local citizens, the priorities of the developer, and sound planning principles. My responsibilities
included researching existing zoning and land uses, identifying opportunities and constraints,
researching benefits and implementation strategies for grey-water systems and district energy,
helping to organize public meetings and design charrettes, drafting and editing interim reports, etc.
The project was published in both the Scarborough Mirror and the Ryerson University newspaper.
(September 2009 -
December 2009)
Camp 30 Cultural Heritage Preservation- Municipality of Clarington, Ontario
Retained by the Municipality of Clarington to prepare a cultural and heritage preservation plan for
Camp 30 (former POW camp) in Bowmanville. The plan successfully integrated residential,
commercial and institutional uses while still preserving and rehabilitating the cultural and historical
significance of many key historic buildings. My responsibilities included becoming well versed in
cultural and heritage preservation policies at every level of government, identifying subsidies, grants
and other alternative funding sources to aid in implementation, drafting and editing reports and
presentations, etc. The project resulted in the successful mediation between the developer (Kaitlin
Group) and the municipality, whereby a mutually agreeable plan was created, which was congruent
with the established guiding principles and project mandate. The results of the project were published
in both the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star. Our group received the Ted
Tyndorf Award for "demonstrating integrity, outstanding vision and commitment to community
planning through client-based project work and engagement with agencies and firms".
