Geographic Information Systems: A Tool For Improving
Community Livability
GIS software can
help policy makers and stakeholders to make more informed and more
effective decisions by relating data with place. GIS can take an
overwhelming amount of information - tabular, spatial, or graphic
- and display it in a way that makes it meaningful to local government
staff, policy makers and the public. By displaying information
in layers - each layer with a particular issue - it is easier to
understand how issues interrelate. This fact
sheet (PDF, 720 KB) contains
examples of how communities have used GIS to improve the livability
of
their communities.
