Objective: Utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis to identify optimal locations for temporary shelters, transitional housing, or safe outdoor spaces for individuals experiencing homelessness, considering factors such as land use, accessibility, infrastructure proximity, and environmental conditions.
Short Description: This thesis explores how GIS and spatial modeling can assist in the strategic placement of homeless shelters and support services. By analyzing multiple spatial datasets—including land use, transportation networks, environmental hazards, and social infrastructure—this research aims to create a data-driven approach to improving shelter accessibility and effectiveness. The results will provide urban planners and policymakers with actionable insights for enhancing support systems for unhoused populations.
