INTRODUCTION
 Thematic map is a map representing a specific spatial
distribution, theme or topic.
 School Network shows location of various schools.
 School network map certain the number of schools and the main
roads linking them.
 Helps in the education sector for future references(like policy
making on education sector, establishing new school on an area)

Contd…
 Various kind of visualization can be done for various kind
of data.
 Types of data and visualization:
1.Nominal data: Data of different nature/characteristics of
things(qualitative).eg.land-use map and education-network
map.
 can be best shown by varying shape to show they are
unrelated.
2. Ordinal data: Data with a clear element of order, not
quantitatively determined.eg.graveled road and pitch road.
 can be best shown by varying value.

Contd…
3. Interval data: Quantitative information with arbitrary
zero.eg.temperatue data.
 can be best shown by varying value
4. Ratio data: Quantitative data with absolute zero on the
scale.eg.number of male and female
 can be best shown by varying size.

RATIONALE
 Lack of thematic map showing the spatial distribution of school
in Banepa.
 Increasing urbanization of Banepa and relative growing trend of
schools.
 As a future reference for policy maker to take necessary steps.

OBJECTIVES
 To create a map with the schools distribution in Banepa.
 To show the male-female proportion, teacher-student
proportion and total number of students and teachers.
 Enrollment of students from various places.

METHODOLOGY
Literature review:
 Library consultation: Internet.
 Consulting seniors and supervisors.
Data Collection
 Co-ordinates using GPS Method.
 Attribute data relating school information.
Final Output
 School Network map using Arc GIS software and
various analysis.

Contd…
Graphics variables:
An elementary way to which graphics
symbols are distinguish from each other.
Bertin’s visual variables:
An elementary way in which point, line and
area symbols can be graphically varied.
 Visual variables are:
Size
Shape
Value (lightness or color tints)
Texture
Color
Orientation
Fig: Map showing ratio data using
size visual variable

Contd…
Since our data is ratio , so we used size
Variable to show variation.
Proportion point symbol to use bar chart and pie chart.
