Geospatial Advocacy Kenya is a recent initiative that seeks to promote and advance the geospatial industry in Kenya through geospatial advocacy. To introduce the organization to the wider public I published a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on their website.
My first article on ArcGIS Maps for Power BI was written in June 2017. It’s time for a review since the technology and my proficiency have both improved. The examples use data on mobile money agents in Kenya and help us to assess how Power BI can be used for data-driven storytelling.
Last year Will Cadell wrote Geospatial Analytics Will Eat The World, And You Won’t Even Know It With this in mind I will describe and illustrate 13 basic GIS analysis tools. The world doesn’t need to know these tools, but every GIS practitioner is advised to master them.
Recently I took the course Visualizing Geospatial Data in Python on DataCamp’s interactive learning platform. To consolidate the new learning, I visualized some spatial datasets for Kenya. Let us find out how the location of Financial Service Providers relates to population.
Geographers have combined interactive maps, multimedia content and text in Story Maps to tell stories about the world around us. Story Maps are now emerging as a powerful medium for data-driven journalism and storytelling. This article will help you to start writing your own.
Under the enactment of Kenya’s 2010 constitution, 47 counties were created as part of a devolved government. For benchmarking purposes, segmentation of these counties should be based on similarity. Clustering models and machine learning allow us to do just that.
ArcGIS Online subscriptions have long been considered an add-on to the ArcGIS Desktop licenses. The tables might turn with the recent introduction of user types, app bundles, and ArcGIS Pro as an add-on app. This positions ArcGIS Online as a full-fledged cloud GIS platform.
Anyone loves a good story, even more so when it is true. This explains the quest for data-driven visual storytelling in all spheres of life across the world. Could it help me as a Geospatial Data Scientist to reach a wider audience and make a bigger impact? Let us find out.
ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based GIS platform for using, creating, and sharing maps, apps and data within and across organizations. You can try out ArcGIS Online by signing up for the 21-day free ArcGIS trial. Find out how you can make the best use of your free trial period.
Cloud computing has revolutionized the ICT landscape and is a catalyst for digital transformation. But the adoption of Cloud GIS has been slow and GIS deployments on desktops and enterprise servers remain the norm. Will this change with the advent of big data analytics, IoT and AI?
