The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is a federal grant program run by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD allocates the annual CDBG appropriation to a number of program areas intended to facilitate community development, including the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). Through this program, HUD provides grant money to state and local governments suffering from the effects of foreclosure and abandonment. Detroit, Michigan is using geographic information systems (GIS) to guide their investment decisions for their NSP funds. Detroit officials advocate transparent decision-making and have thus made the data used in their analysis public. This public data lends itself nicely to a systematic analysis of Detroit’s decision-making process. This project attempts to determine what factors increase the likelihood that a block group will be selected as an NSP target area through a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both GIS and maximum likelihood estimation.
Shehzad Afzal—“Spatial Text Visualization using Automatic Typographic Maps”
Abstract: We present a method for automatically building typographic maps that merge text and spatial data into a visual representation where text alone forms the graphical features. We further show how to use this approach to visualize spatial data such as traffic density, crime rate, or demographic data. The technique accepts a vector representation of a geographic map and spatializes the textual labels in the space onto polylines and polygons based on user-defined visual attributes and constraints. Our sample implementation runs as a Web service, spatializing shape files from the OpenStreetMap project into typographic maps for any region.
