For my mapping project, I selected 6 forces to map: traffic, areas where homeless individuals congregate, greenery, business and residential areas. An additional force I added to my final map was areas with the most crime, specifically car theft . The 6 forces combined created a pathway of disturbance in the area. Traffic monitors the flow of people’s movement through the area. I also included the time of traffic as a result of some feedback from my fellow classmates. Homelessness paints a path of unsafe areas where these individuals congregate, which I also edited due to some feedback and added more descriptive language in my legend. Greenery draws a path of where trees and bushes. This was a very valuable exercise is assessing a particular area and all the forces that impact one’s interaction with the intersection.
