Part I - An introduction to geospatial data
Geospatial data: Raster & Vector
Points Lines and Polygons
Working with attribute data
Attribute and Spatial Joins
Part II: An Introduction to working with ArcGIS
● Load geospatial datasets (shapefiles) into ArcMap
● Use common tools found in GIS software○ zoom, pan, scale choice, bookmarks,
layer styles, map files● Basic Cartography Skills
○ labelling, symbolizing, styles● Export a map
11 - Download the following datasets to the “Documents” folder:
http://uoft.me/introarcgisdata
2 - Navigate to your Documents folder
3 - Using 7-zip or Windows zip, right-click and unzip the gis_workshop.zip file in the Documents folder using the option Extract Here
4 - Start ArcMap 10.6.x
21 - In the Getting Started window, click on Cancel
2 - Start adding data by clicking on the Add Data icon
3 - Before adding datasets, you will need to connect to a folder area. To do so, click on the Connectto Folder icon.
31 - Select the c:\users\documents\gis_workshop folder
2 - click on OK
3 - Navigate to the shapefiles folder and select CENTRELINE_WGS84.shp shapefile. This dataset contains all the roads in the city of Toronto.
4 - Click on Add
41 - You should now have a map that looks similar to this with one layer visible in the
Data View
2 - This area is called theTable of Contents
3 - Note that the roads are a polyline, or line, feature class.
51 - Now add the SCHOOL_TDSB_WGS84 and CITY_GREEN_SPACE_13_WGS84 shapefiles (use CTRL-click to select both layers at once)
2 - These layers represent the city’s greenspace and schools layers. The greenspace layer is a polygon feature class, and the schools layer is a point feature class.
3 - Your map should now contain all three layers/shapefiles just loaded. Your map should look something like this one below.
6We will now use some of the main tools from the “tools” toolbar to navigate our map and our feature layers.
Click on each of the following tools and one by one navigate on the map
1 - Zoom in
2 - zoom out
3 - Pan
4 - Full Extent
5 - Fixed Zoom in
6 - Fixed Zoom out
7 - Go to Previous Extent
8 - Go to Next Extent
9 - Identify

7Using the Standard toolbar, select various scales by typing them into the scale selection box.
Try the following scales
- 1:1,000,000
- 1:500,000
- 1:250,000
- 1:100,000
