20. Consolidation of skills learned in creating GIS overlays Additional Exercise: Effect of screen-like buildings on the quality of air in Kowloon districts – Air Pollution in Hong Kong ( pay special attention to the polluted areas caused by either the traffic or “wall effect”, study the data included in the “attribute tables” )

21. 屏風效應 是指樓宇建築猶如天幕，阻礙自然 風進出，這使城市內的空氣轉差、 「不見天日」、悶熱難擋，影響周 邊居民的生活環境、空氣質素、景 觀及自然光，令相對內陸的地區的 空氣流動減弱，氣溫升高，加劇地 區性的空氣污染問題，令區內居民 患呼吸道毛病的比例增加。內陸氣溫空氣污染呼吸道

22. Hon. Alan LEONG (28-2-2007) A survey conducted by a green group found that (in 2008) among the 138 private residential developments completed in the recent decade, 104 were classified as screen-like buildings. Moreover, all the nine forthcoming projects above railway stations include high- density screen-like buildings of 50 storeys or more. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether it has conducted studies over the past three years on the adverse impact caused by the layout of buildings on the air ventilation and environmental hygiene of the neighbouring areas; and (b) whether it will adopt specific measures for districts with a high density of screen-like buildings to prevent the wall effect from worsening

23. Note: The following exercise (Additional Exercise: Air Pollution in Hong Kong) is purely a make-up example for teachers to consolidate the skills learnt in Sessions 1 – 3 using data for displaying GIS layers; and all the data involved are not official ones and thus may be biased. The following exercise (Additional Exercise: Air Pollution in Hong Kong) is purely a make-up example for teachers to consolidate the skills learnt in Sessions 1 – 3 using data for displaying GIS layers; and all the data involved are not official ones and thus may be biased. If teachers use similar exemplars, they should lead the students to discuss all possible reasons for the spatial pattern of distribution of air pollutants in the studied area.

24. Practical Exercise 1. Using pie graphs of vary size to show all three categories of sold items for each convenient store. Think about the location factors affecting their revenue. ( D:\GIS\Lesson3_GIS_Data\HKmap_demo\Seven Eleven.shp ) Think about the location factors affecting their revenue. ( D:\GIS\Lesson3_GIS_Data\HKmap_demo\Seven Eleven.shp ) 2. Locational analysis of environmental effects caused by the “walled buildings” in various Kowloon districts. Additional Exercises worksheet ( D:\GIS\Lesson3_GIS_Data\HKmap_demo\polluti on.shp ) 3. Data conversion of HK digital map (1:5000) Begin conversion in ArcCatalog and get shapefiles ready for use in ArcMap; note the details shown in different map scales ( D:\7sea) Begin conversion in ArcCatalog and get shapefiles ready for use in ArcMap; note the details shown in different map scales ( D:\7sea)
