The three maps were created from the ESRI Urban Planning & Environmental Impact studies. The first map is assessing the traffic impact from a new building on the university grounds. Buffers were used & a bar graph to show traffic volume. The study shows that the impact is in the local area of the proposed building.

The second map is a study based on parcels and housing types for student occupancy in areas around Pewter University. Fields were added to attributes, quieries and calculations done. It highlights areas of student concentration.

The third map is an economic based analysis to present a location quotient (LQ) showing industry in each of 19 local government authorities. Tables were joined, fields added, calculations done, and graduated colors to symbolize values for agr., forestry, and fishing in the area.

All were easily accomplished. I had no problems mentioned in the tips. Although these exercises are very detailed, it reminds me of small things easily forgotten like labeling specifics in the legend.
