District Map Project
Due: Tuesday, April 28, at the beginning of your digital media class
You will be creating a map of your assigned district that will help you and audience members visualize what goes on in your assigned district. The requirements listed below are what the map needs to include at minimum. The most effective maps, however, will go far beyond these requirements, and will show visuals for other important patterns/locations/events in the district.
Assigned neighborhoods and their Zip Codes:
Bayview/ Hunter’s Point (94124)
Chinatown (94108)
Ingleside/Excelsior (94112)
Mission (94110)
Sunset (94122)
Western Addition/Japantown (94115)

Your map needs to include:
1. The boundaries of your assigned district (these are zip-code boundaries, b/c that’s how the data was collected)

(Click on “view the San Francisco Zip Code Map”)

2. Recreation Centers and Parks
Indicate which rec center you visited on 4/21
see printed-out “Neighborhood Service Area” handouts
http://www.sfgov.org/site/recpark_index.asp?id=1503
3. The path you traveled on your 4/21 field trip
you will take notes on this during your trip, and then will add this to the map
4. Education: Location of at least 2 schools in the district
http://portal.sfusd.edu/template/default.cfm?page=school_info.profiles.elementary
5. Health: Location of at least 2 health facilities and/or clinics
http://www.sfdph.org/dph/default.asp
(Under “Quick Search”, go to “Find a clinic by neighborhood or by name)
6. Crime/Safety: At least 1 area that has the highest crime rate for that district, and location of Police Stations
http://www.sfgov.org/site/police_index.asp?id=23813
http://www.sfgov.org/site/police_index.asp?id=47784

7. Transportation: significant Muni lines, BART lines, and bike lanes

8. Economics: (this might be something you shade in, not a specific location. For example, you might shade the areas with the highest and lowest % of people living in poverty.)
http://factfinder.census.gov/home/saff/main.html?_lang=en&_ts= Under “Fast Access to information”, type in the zip code you’re studying. You will get a list of statistics. To see maps of these statistics, click on the “map” links on the righthand side.
9. Community Resources (you can define this however you want- these should be organizations, businesses, or groups that attempting to help the community)
http://www.healthmattersinsf.org/ Under “search”, type in your zip code. Then it will list a wide variety of organizations and programs in your area.
10. ***VERY IMPORTANT***: MAP LEGEND
Additionally, you will need to create a “legend” (or a “key”) on a separate sheet that explains what symbols mean, and the complete names of the organizations you’ve referred to on your map.
Miscellaneous info and hints:
Your map will be 1 component of your group’s poster, which will be presented at exhibition night.
While the initial grade of your map will be in Digital Media, your complete poster (which the map is a part of) will be graded in Math Class. In other words, your work on this map will go into 2 different classes.
Divide up the work on this poster! Assign each group member to at least two of the requirements listed above.
In the process of finding information for this map, you will find a lot of quantitative data. Print those sheets out, or write them down; this will help you when you’re writing your Needs Assessment Report!
