Interactive Web-based tools for Regional Planning Decision-makers
Project Abstract:
Regional planning decision-makers have a growing need for interactive, intuitive tools to use in presentations, workshops, and symposia, but cost, specialized features, and the lack of experience of many attendees make the use of high-end GIS software prohibitive. The RWBC provides expertise in how to apply education courseware development tools to fill the void between standard presentation software such as PowerPoint? and high-end GIS software such as ArcGIS?.
|
Project Goals:
The main goal of this project is to leverage the expertise of RWB Consortium members in education courseware development to assist with adding a higher level of interactivity to the content of presentations, workshops, and symposia for regional planning and land-use decision-makers.
|
Research Priorities (and suggested topics for investigation):
Feedback through surveys administered following workshops.

Full Description of Project:
Regional planning decision-making groups such as the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) have a growing need for interactive, intuitive tools to use in presentations, workshops, and symposia where many attendees have a limited level of technical know-how. It is prohibitively expensive to equip workshop computer labs with high-end geographical information systems software, and unreasonable to expect attendees to be able to use these high-end software programs with little to no formal training.
Ideally, these interactive tools should be capable of being delivered both on a CDROM and via the web. Features of these tools must go beyond the basic presentation format of slide shows or videos, yet regional planning decision-makers cannot be expected to have the development skills necessary to build these tools themselves.
The Regional WorkBench Consortium provides expertise in educational courseware development and the knowledge of how to apply it to the needs of regional planning decision-makers. The applications developed within the context of this particular RWBC project may also be of use to educators and researchers as well.
The first project is an interactive land-use image "morph" of San Diego county, southern Riverside and Orange counties, and northing Baja, Mexico between the years 1982 and 2005. Users can pan around high-resolution satellite images and slide a slider to transition through the years to observe how land-use has changed over the 23 year time span.
