Settlement Geography of Eau Claire
Instructions for creating web pages for Eau Claire occupations, 1980-1910
Revised 1 June 2002

Starting in 1998, we began to collect data on the occupations for the people who lived in each house surveyed for architectural and building materials in Eau Claire. In Interim 2002, we will map these occupational data for the first time! You will learn to use:
1)      ArcMap, a mapping software, and 
2)      FrontPage, a web-page creator software.

Do this:
1) Create a folder with your UWEC username and 367, e.g., johnsonj367 and save all files you make in this folder.
2) Create maps in ArcMap and export  them as .jpg files (see below for instructions). Label each as shown in the table below.
3) Create web pages in FrontPage using the names cited in the table. Be sure to test the web pages in Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. Insert the .jpg maps into the web page with a table format, see below.

Items	Folder and file names		How to create
folder name:  username367decade	johnsonj3671980		Explorer
first web page	start.htm		FrontPage
link second web pages to each classification: 3 and 10 for the decade you are responsible for	om31980.htm	om101980.htm	FrontPage
maps for the web pages: percent for each class of occupations and average for all classes.  Make thumbnails of these maps on the web pages.	om3pwid1980.jpg om3av1980.jpg	om10phwhite1980.jpg om10av1980.jpg	ArcMap
o=occupation; m=map;  3= 3 classes; 10=10 classes,  p=percent for each class; av=average for all the classes;  individual classes, e.g., wid=widow, hwhite=high white collar;  1980=decade for which you are making maps

4) Your final project. Create an introductory web page and link it to the other web pages for each major topic. See the table above. Explain and describe the occupational data and the spatial patterns and how they relate to the architectural and house characteristics in the different neighborhoods of Eau Claire. For information about the city, go to the City of Eau Claire web site: http://www.ci.eau-claire.wi.us. Use MapQuest [http://www.mapquest.com] for various kinds of maps, such as the one below.

When you are finished with the web page, select the whole table, right click, Page Properties, and border size=0 to make the lines disappear.

This map was exported from ArcMap and inserted here. Explain what the numbers in the "average 5 classes" legend mean (see the table below) and the spatial patterns that resulted -- refer to the neighborhood map above.

For your project, create a web page with a two-column table, as shown below. In the left-hand column place the map and then turn it into a thumbnail. In the other column, add the text identifying the kind and date of the occupation mapped and any other comments on spatial patterns. 

	Create a thumbnail version of a large map: paste the map, click on it and then click on the double image icon (the one on the right) below . This thumbnail is linked to the full sized map.

You must make the following maps:

1)      Find your usernmane and the decade for which you will be making maps:

2)      Make maps of the percentage of each individual occupational class for each of the two classifications for your particular decade. Hence, you will make 13 separate maps -- 3 and 10 for each classification, respectively.

3)   Make maps of the average of all the occupational class for each of the two classifications for your particular decade. Hence, you will make 2 maps -- one for each classification.

4)      Finally, make at least one map from the architectural data in ArcMap, such as year built, house value, bay window, etc. Use this map to correlate with the occupational maps you already made. Discuss these relationships on the web pages for each classification.

5)  On each decade web page discuss 1) the nature of the data and the classifications, 2) the spatial results based on the maps you made, and 3) the spatial correlations of the occupational patterns with some architectural patterns.

The Occupational Data
The Eau Claire City Directory data were classified into two occupational classifications: three very simple categories and ten more detailed categories, starting in 1910 and ending in 1980. The table below shows the numerical codes associated with particular class labels and the variables names which match those found in ArcMap:

Averages were also calculated and appear in ArcMap, for example, as ACLASS37, where ACLASS=average value for all classes for a particular classification, 3=3 classes!, and 7=1970 or as ACLASS107, where ACLASS=average value for all classes for a particular classification, 10=10 classes!, and 7=1970

ArcMap
On the DeptDir (W) drive find Vogeler, Geog367, geog367-OUT, EC Occupation, and then click on the file EC ARCH & OCCUPATION GROUPS.mxd.
