    Ethnic Communities and Economic Sustainability
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016) Blaut, Avraham
    This paper sets out to examine the relationship between economically sustainable places and ethnic communities. Using simple and easily repeated GIS processing, we examined if on a citywide scale ethnic communities were located in economically sustainable areas. The ever changing nature of sustainability combined with the struggles to establish broader sustainability context has limited the fined grained comparisons between sustainable economics and ethnic communities. The research questions were tackled by using modified version of a previously established economic sustainability index and overlaying that with an all generalized ethnic community classification system at the census tract level, a very pinpoint level of analysis. Classifying ethnic communities through based on percent of ethnic groups varied based on proximity to city center compared to an economic sustainability index composed of factors that address economic success and economic diversity. Results show a negative relationship between ethnic communities and sustainable economies.

    A Standardized Geodatabase Form for Cultural Resource Management
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015) Milner, Brian
    The field of archaeology has been absent of a standardized geodatabase system to store, share, analyze and display data collected from archaeological investigation. Data storage and database system vary greatly between cultural resource management firms and research institutions. This lack of standardization has led to the inability of the collected data to be utilized to its full potential. The cultural resource field generates massive amounts of data on archaeological sites each quarter that is rarely seen outside of the company. This inability to collaborate and share data with not only other archaeologists, but researchers from other fields severely limits the understanding we can learn from the data. For my GIS Capstone project, I chose to look at how to design a beginning of a standardized geodatabase model that could easily be implemented by those in the archaeology field. A base work that would hold the basic elements that were needed and most common for the archaeology field. This model should help improve efficiency of data management as well as help facilitate further analysis of the information collected.
