2/16/17

Mapping project examines the correlation between green space and homicide locations in Baltimore City.

Geospatial Applications is a science that teams space-age technology with the ancient art of mapmaking to show geographic or spatial relationships. CCBC second-year student Molly Finch of Baltimore City, Md. employed this mapping method for her ongoing project to exploring the influence of urban design on the likelihood of a homicide occurrence.  She used data on the location and incidence of homicides in Baltimore City between 2010-2015 in relation to green space or trees in the areas. Molly’s project, “The Power of Place: Areas of Influence for Baltimore City Homicides (2010-2015),” earned her second place at the GIS-Pro2016: URISA's (Urban and Regional Information Systems Association) 54th Annual Conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, held in November 2016.
