GIS Project: NYC Open Restaurants - Potential Conflict Zones

September–December 2021 | New York

Project Members: Hilary Ho, Theresa Yang, Nabila Hawali

My final project for the course ‘Geographic Information Systems’ explored the impact of NYC’s Open Restaurants program on the built environment and community development. Using a variety of geoprocessing techniques such as multi-criteria decision analysis, spatial statistics, and network analysis, the project worked to quantify the potential for conflict between the Open Restaurants program and Manhattan neighborhoods.

The final deliverable of this project was an eye-catching report made with InDesign that communciated the analysis in an engaging way. While this project was done in a group, these selected examples were spreads where I contributed to spatial analysis, report layout, and writing. 

GIS geoprocessing techniques used in this project included: multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), spatial statistics, network analysis, and proportional split analysis.
