Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains locations of facilities in Florida that have lasers on site. This dataset is based on information received from the Florida Department of Health, current up to March 2008. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address and the specific laser information for that site.

Purpose:

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Note that if the laser is registered as 'MOBILE' in the MOBILITY field, it may not be always or ever at the registrant's address.

There may be additional location information in the Location field. This is usually a room and / or building number on a big hospital or university campus.

The DATE_ADDED field displays when the registration was added. The older they are, the less likely the laser or registrant will still be there.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers.

The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas. For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Laser oriented facility locations were obtained from the Florida Department of Health. GeoPlan received this data in Excel format in two separate spreadsheets and converted them to dbf. One spreadsheet contained facilities and addresses and one contained individual laser information. These two tables were joined through the owner registration number. The facility to laser relationship is one to many therefore duplicate locations do exist. These duplicates represent unique lasers at the same location or facility. The dbf was geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. Records with no address or bad addresses were omitted. 1043 records were removed that had a 0 in the QUANTITY field. Zeros show that the laser was removed from registration at some point after initially being registered.

-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME -Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added. FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, FGDLAQDATE. -Total Records when received - 6505 -Total Records geocoded - 5710 -Total Records after removing quantity 0 records 4667
