1. GIS PROJECTPRESENTATION:MAPPING RE-ENTRYORGANIZATIONS & BUS/RAILACCESS IN LOS ANGELESJOANIE EVANSPPD 631 2. REVISED CONCEPT NOTEProject Focus: Mapping re-entry services (housing, food,employment, rehab, etc.) onto a base map of the city of Los Angeles.From there, I would also like to overlay Metro Bus & Rail lines.For the final product, I would like to translate this informationinto an app, to be used by:-Community Based Organizations-Policy Analysts-Formerly Incarcerated Populations 3. PROBLEM DEFINITIONDefining Re-entry & Access to Re-entry Services by the FormerlyIncarceratedThe majority of prison inmates95% are going to be released back intothe community, so addressing the barriers to community re-entry isimportant (Baillargeon et al., 2010). Recently released inmates are facedwith a host of barriers to having a successful return, or re-entry, into society.Many prisoners are poor, returning to their communities with no healthinsurance, no government benefits, and little to no family support(Baillargeon et al., 2010).Those who have been convicted of felony drug-relatedoffenses may be ineligible for subsidized housing, food stamps, andother government assistance (Hoge, 2007 as cited by Baillargeon et al.,2010).This is why there is a huge need for access to services that address thesebarriers. These serviceswhich include food, housing, employment, andother servicesare referred to generally as re-entry services. 4. ANALYSIS PLANResearch Questions1. What is the current access to re-entry services based on proximityto public rail & bus lines in the city of Los Angeles?2. Can a GIS-based web applicationappincrease access to re-entryservices for the formerly incarcerated?Map of Los Angeles 5. ANALYSIS PLANGoals1. To visually demonstrate access to re-entry services near rail &bus lines2. To create an interactive/app resource for use by: localpolicymakers, community-based organizations, and formerlyincarcerated people 6. METHODS: WHATS CHANGED?Data Search &AnalysisI have identified the neighborhoods within the city of Los Angeles.I still need to add to the list of re-entry organizations, specifically those inWest Los Angeles. South Los Angeles is covered.GIS TechniquesI have re-named rail lines. I have also changed the colors of the lines tomatch their Metro-designated names.In addition, I have overlaid a polygon layer of the City of Los Angeles.I still need to re-name the bus lines. They are tougher than I expected. 7. PROJECT: BEFORE 8. PROJECT: AFTERhttp://joanielatidoye.wix.com/professionalwork#!re-entry-orgs-in-la-interactive-app/c19mt 9.
