Survey123

Introduction
The objective of this lab was to create an online survey in ArcGIS online using the Survey123 lesson. The results from the survey could then be brought into the Survey123 Field App and an interactive map was created displaying the results of the survey.

Methods
The first step for this lab was to create a survey using the Survey123 website. The survey created was HOA Emergency Preparedness Survey. The survey consisted of 29 questions that were to designed to gauge a community's preparedness for an natural disaster. These questions consisted of questions such as surveyors name, location, housing information, and levels of preparedness (fig. 1). The questions were added using the add function. This function allowed for a variety of different types of questions to be added such as multiple choice, single choice (yes or no), and location maps.

After the survey was created, the survey was then published to members of my organization (UWEC). Once published, I then filled out the survey by following the provided link: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/52932b595f0e49a98a5d1b186bff2142. After completing the survey, the Survey123 Field App was downloaded. This app allows for users to be able to download and complete surveys without being directly connected to the internet. Using the app I then completed the survey multiple times using varied answers to my previously completed survey.

After the new survey results were sent from the Survey123 app, the next step of the lab was to analyse the results and create an interactive map displaying the results under the Analyze tab. This tab allows for the results of each individual question (fig. 2) and the location for each of the survey responses (fig. 3).

After analyzing the results, an interactive web map was created that allowed for each of the respondants results to be shown once they were clicked on in the form of a pop-up. The attributes that were shown in the pop-up can also be edited. For example, the surveyor's name and address were omitted from the viewable pop-up. Once the web map was finished, a web-based app created for the survey is accessible to members of the organization.

Conclusion
The Survery123 allows for surveys to be created and shared with the public. The data can be easily analyzed and the locations of the respondent can be used to analyze spatial spatial patterns survey. This information can then be brought into an app where members of the same organization can have easy access to the survey information.
