Shape Mapping Shape mapping is a process in which we used to extract
The resulting shapes and objects identified from our
shapes within the communities and find our objects. This
cross analysis of the data sets created three different
process was done by cross analyzing the layers of density
areas. Pink shaded areas are those that have a
+ amenities; open space + amenities; open space + paths;
negative combination or do not posses a strong inter-
open space + roads; open space + building footprints;
relationship. Positive areas are shaded in light green
amenities + building footprints; roads + building
and have strong inter-relationships amongst layers
footprints and seeing what their spatial relationships
analyzed. Lastly, light blue shaded areas posses a
were. For example, if we cross compare footprint +
combination of weak and strong relationships amongst
amenities we are able to see what areas posses a positive/
the layers and have resulted in a more intertwined or
negative/neutral relationship amongst one another. This
complex set of relationships.
was repeated for all data sets and then layered on top of one another, which produced our final shape map (above right).
