Touristic Circuit for Districts of Santiago Using Bicycles.
Track: Teaching with GIS in Schools
Author(s): Carmela Carvajal de Prat
After observating our community needs, we detect serious problems like the pollution of our city, Santiago of Chile, and the disrespect to the cyclists. That is why we realize a touristic circuit for districts of our capital fomenting the national culture and the use of bicycles for taking care of the environment and do sports. We realize our project with GIS tools like AEJEE, ArcMap 9.2 and location of coordinates with GPS. Thanks to these tools, we elaborate a map with the information obtained, giving importance to bicycling routes, parks and streets which facilitated us the use of this transport. That how we made the touristic circuit, supported by the 4-H team from Oregon and North Carolina.
