Does anyone know if Google Earth are planning to improve the resolution of the satellite images for Ireland, most of Ireland is in low-res at the moment.

hey guys!
just wanted to ask when it would fit you best for the next meeting for creating the maps? what about monday 11 again?
and what do you think about finding a weekly time for us to meet up so that we don't have to organise it week for week again?
all the best,
manuel

i may as well get the ball rolling here if a can.

i was trying to think about what we could use to show vunrability and stuff. i was looking at the catagories on the CSO website but i couldnt find many that jumped out at me apart maybe from socio-economic status. those unemployed or with jobs that would have a lower wage may not have the resources to react when a flood happens.

it would be really good if we could get our hands on households with and without sufficiant insurance and stuff but im not too sure if that would be available.

so what does everyone think??

ant suggestions??.... feel free to slate what i just put forward... ive thick skin its gfrand :) hahaha

Yeah thoughts are good. I am thinking the survey could take care of the question of insurance. Don't think it is too personal. What annoys me is that I could go around most houses on the esate and tell their social-economic backgound by looking at the place. However this would not count of course. What is important is to understand the vast array of variants and backgrounds people in Stella Gardens come from. To do this I am suggesting the survey team interview people on a personal level about their experiences. I.e Qualitative aswell as quantitative investiagtion. For you folks on the GIS I would look at what I have suggested about comparing the two areas mapped out on the google image on the front page. I think this would allow us to compare social-economic factors with ability to act. The 2 areas are well defined ED's on the map and should be very different. I think that mapping the 2 areas would allow greater scope to incorporate the survey aspect and make telling comparisions. I.e Questions: Have you contacted your T.D about flooding in the past. I.e. Education etc. Car ownership, maybe education but could be pushing it! Really looking at how residents make Informed decisions. What you have to remember is the 2 areas are like chalk and cheese only seperated by a bridge but a long standing historical social divide. Really I think there is lots to go on here and a great story to be told from a geographer's perspective.

Hi all,

Here's something weird I've spotted about google maps over the weekend. I would guess that since last update few weeks ago they changed the way counties are considered in Ireland. At the moment all area names in Dublin are gone and it is the county councils that are used instead. I've no idea who approved such change but in my opinion that is false information. For example if I live in Blackrock, County Dublin - at the moment it is called Stillorgan, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County. Its not even part of Dublin any more! Can someone else please check that and see it for yourselves? Anyone have any idea on what the process is to address this to google?

Thanks
