GIS LABORATORY EXERCISE 1

Formulate a GEOGRAPHC QUESTION
Activity Date: November 28, 2016
1. In the Research Methods subject, you were asked to prepare 5 reaction papers. Now using
these readings, try to compose geographic Questions for each, the write them in the box below.
Be ready to share this to the class.
A)
B)
C)
D)
E)

Which areas experienced the greatest accretion?

What buildings are suitable for flood evacuation shelters?
What is the total mangrove area in the municipality of Dulag, Leyte?
Which areas experience the highest land surface temperature?
What is the area boundary of the University that is the study area for determining tree
canopies using drones?

2. The same reaction papers, list down at least 2 for each the LAYERS and its type of data that you
think it may answer the GEOGRAPHIC QUESTION you wrote above in the table
