Implementing GIS in Cultural-Historic Necrogeography Author: Cindy Ann Nance 1945-A East Calle Lileta Phone: 760-323-7825 Evolving communities, demographic shifts, transportation development, and urbanization are contributing factors to the abandonment of traditional cemetery landscapes. By applying archaeology to geography, changes in spatial relationships of cemeteries are examined as indicators of sociocultural and settlement pattern change in southeastern Louisiana. GIS is implemented with historic to present cartographic research and field survey, to assess cemetery conditions within a 90-kilometer radius of Louisiana's capital, Baton Rouge. Initially, this dissertation research was designed for ArcView GIS 3.1. With the recent availability of ArcView Spatial Analyst the research results were greatly enhanced. |
