Comparison framework

Making notes under these headings will give you a good coverage of the essentials of each case study and allow you to compare and contrast different uses of GIS in the case studies you select. You might find it helpful to compare these categories with the requirements for your final assignment.

Spaces for you to enter some notes are available on your e-journal. You can create multiple copies of this framework in your e-journal if you would like to keep all of your notes together. You can download the e-journal for this topic and print the Comparison Framework.

Note that 'the answer' is not always immediately obvious. In order to get as many of these areas of information as is possible you will need to infer (read between the lines) from what is written and in some instances you will have to accept that the information is simply not available.

Use the discussion forum to discuss any problems you come across.
