ArcGIS Application Introduction

The ArcGIS application actually consists of several basic applications, namely: ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox, ArcScene and ArcGlobe.
1. ArcMap is the main application used to process, create, display, select, edit and layout maps
2. ArcCatalog is an application that functions to manage various kinds of spatial data in ArcMap, including browsing, organizing, distributing, deleting spatial data functions.
3. ArcToolbox is an application tool/tools in performing geospatial analyses
4. ArcScene is an application that processes and displays maps in 3D
5. ArcGlobe is an application that functions to display 3D maps into a globe and can be connected directly to the internet.

ArcCatalog

ArcCatalog is a program from ArcGIS whichcan be used, among others, to browse or search for data (browsing), organizing (organizing), distributing (distributing) and documenting (documenting) a data structure in ArcGIS. ArcCatalog provides several functions, including previewing, creating documents and managing geographic data, and creating a geodatabase to store spatial and tabular data.
ArcCatalog can be used to organize and manage folders and data files when creating database projects on a computer with geodatabases and importing feature classes and tables. With ArcCatalog you can also create, view and revise metadata, documenting datasets and projects you create.
1. Click Start Programs ArcGIS ArcCatalog, once open, the following interface will appear:
    The ArcCatalog interface is divided into 3 main sections, including:
        a. Catalog Treewhich displaysGIS-based file storage catalog, whether stored on a local drive,                     server or WebGIS-based.
         b. Display which displays a directory of GIS content and can display a Preview of the selected                     file and a Description which can show metadata.
         c. The menu bar displays various menu functions and tools for input, management, processing                     and data analysis.
2. Browsing Datawith ArcCatalog is done by first connecting the folder where the data will be stored. Click Connet Folder then browse to the data storage location.Example D:\Practice then click OK


3. Using ArcCatalog
• Select the data folder you want to access. Example D:\Practice\Data. Pay attention to somedifferent symbols contained in ArcCatalog as shown in this right.
a. Shapefile (.shp) is a vector file format for processing GIS data. The .shp format consists of:
    • Point shapefile  is a type of vector data in the form of points, commonly used to display the                    distribution of certain infrastructure locations.
    • Line shapefile  is a type of vector data in the form of lines, commonly used to display roads, rivers,         boundaries, and others.
    •  Polygon shapefile  is a type of vector data in the form of an area, commonly used to display a                   cross-section that has an area.
b. Raster images is data in the form of images that have pixels.
c.    Geodatabaseis a folder system in ArcGIS to make it easier for users to store project data. The ecosystem of vector and raster files in a geodatabase can be determined so that they can produce the same georeference. The resulting data can have a uniform projection system. In the geodatabase there are several symbols that need to be known, including:
     •  Featured dataset  is a sub folder of the geodatabase to accommodate several feature classes.
     • Feature classis vector data, just as shapefiles are divided into feature class points , line  and                    polygon.
On the Preview tab, you can display data in tabular or image form. If you change the options on the Table, ArcCatalog will display the data in tabular form. Meanwhile, if you change it to the Geography option, the data will be displayed in the form of images.

To add a new shapefile data (.shp) in ArcCatalog, you must first specify the location of the file to be created, then in the Display section of the Contents tab, right-click, select New Shapefile.


Specify the shapefile name, feature type (polygon, polyline, or point) and coordinate system. The coordinate system for this training activity is Geographic WGS 1984. This coordinate system can be found by clicking Edit, selecting Geographic Coordinate Systems World WGS 1984.

ArcMap

ArcMap is the main application in ArcGIS that can display, create, process, edit geospatial data. ArcMap is also able to build new spatial databases, select (query, create map designs, analyze and create final displays in activity reports. Some things that can be done by ArcMap include data exploration (exploring), GIS analysis (analyzing) , presenting results, customizing data and programming.
1. Open ArcGIS Application ArcMap
2. ArcMap️ Getting Started, Select Blank Map, then click OK
    The ArcMap view consists of three parts, namely:
        a. The menu bar displays variousvarious menu functions and tools for inputting, managing,                         processing and analyzing data, as well as making map outputs.
        b. The Table of Content (TOC) displays each map layer opened in ArcMap. TOC can be used to                 manipulate data such as setting symbols, labels, scales, transparency, and others.
        c. Display screen or display for displaying, analyzing, input and editing of data.
        d. Toolbars are some of the tools used in ArcMap to manage visualization, process and analyze                     geospatial data displayed in the display.
3. Toolsin ArcMap consists of several icons

SPATIAL DATA EDITING

SPATIAL DATA EDITING This chapter is intended to perform editing of pre-existing maps. Maps can be in the form of shp or non-shp data such as CAD, GPS or kml. If the data owned is not shp, then data conversion must be done first. The shp data is then identified for its appearance on satellite imagery. If there are geometric errors, then in this chapter several features have been described in the ArcMap application that can be used for editing shp data. Convert Data to Shapefile (shp) Geographic Information System data can be sourced from non-shp data, such as: Global Positioning System (GPS) data, digitized data on Google Earth and data from Ms. Excel. To be able to use these data in ArcGIS applications, users need to convert data. CAD Data Conversion (dwg) There are two ways that can be used to convert dwg formatted data into shp data. The first method is data cleansing, which is basically done to identify and delete unnecessary layers in the CAD file. This method is highly recommende...

Data Editing

 Data Editing Swipe Feature Shifting the feature is done if there is a feature whose placement does not match the actual conditions in the satellite image. The feature shift can be done if the entire feature will be shifted entirely. 1. Enter into editing mode by right-clicking on the layer (Irrigation Area or Irrigation Channel) Edit Features Start Editing. 2. In the Editor toolbar click Edit Tool click feature and drag to the actual location in the satellite image. 3. If the editing process is complete in the Editor toolbar click Editor Save Edits Stop Editing Edit Vertices Edit Feature is used to fix vectors, both lines and polygons. Basically, editing vertices is done by pulling the vertices in a shp. So when this tool is used, the nodes that have been created during digitization will reappear and can be drawn according to the reference (satellite image). These node points can be added as needed. 1. Enter into editing mode by right-clicking on the layer (Irrigation Area...

Coordinate System and Map Projection

Coordinate System and Map Projection Map as input data, information representation model and data analysis result model is an important part of GIS. A map is a picture of part or all of the earth's surface, both above and below the surface and presented on a flat plane at a certain scale and projection (mathematically). There are 2 coordinate systems that are generally used in the preparation of geographic information systems, namely the geographic coordinate system and the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. Geographic Coordinate System The Geographic Coordinate System consists of latitude that divides evenly from the equator towards the poles and longitude that divides the equator evenly. Figure 3 above shows the coordinates of Moscow City (yellow spot) in DMS and DD coordinates. Decimal Degrees (DD) is related to Degrees/Minutes/Seconds (DMS), by changing the minutes and seconds values into 'decimal degree values'. Decimal Degrees are generally more wi...
