GIS 5100 Lab 8

For Part B of this lab, I prepared the data for my Hurricane Sandy Damage geodatabase. For this particular step, I needed to create attribute domains for the .gdb. To do this, I manually added the domains in the Geodatabase properties, by right-clicking it in the Catalog and then clicking the Domains tab. This was my result:

For this next part of the lab, I examined the location of the damaged areas in reference to the coastline. To do this, I first created a polyline for the coastline. Then, using the Spatial Join tool, I determined which buildings were within 100, 200, and 300 meters of the coastline. These were my results:
