Leveraging ArcGIS Platform & CityEngine for GIS based Master PlansEsri India
Sustainable, scalable and future ready urban development is one the key priorities in India as well globally. Major government programs i.e. Smart Cities and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) aim to build foundations to achieve this.
For any planned development, master plan is a starting point. A master plan provides a long term blueprint that guides the sustainable planned development of the city. Use of GIS for master planning is not new. GIS-based Master Plans will help in different types of urban planning exercises, e.g. preparation of development plan, zonal plan, utility plan, infrastructure plan, etc. Even Smart City program and AMRUT programs mandate use of GIS for master plan creation.
ArcGIS is a complete platform for end-to-end city planning, design and management. The webinar illustrates how ArcGIS Platform and 3D capabilities of CityEngine provides a complete set of tools for end-to-end GIS based master plan creation and updation.
A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system for capturing, storing, checking, and displaying data related to positions on Earth's surface. GIS can show many different kinds of data on one map. This enables people to more easily see, analyze, and understand patterns and relationships.
You Can’t Manage What you Don’t Measure URISA’s Proposed Municipal GIS Capab...Greg Babinski
This presentation was made by Greg Babinski as the luncheon keynote address at the 2011 Alaska State Surveying & Mapping Conference in Anchorage, AK on February 22, 2011.
GIS is a computer-based tool used and managed by people to efficiently capture, store, integrate, analyze and display spatial (geographically referenced) data & associated attribute data
A Proposed Municipal GIS Capability Maturity ModelGreg Babinski
A geographic information system (GIS) has become a common component of city and county governments. All large municipalities and many medium and small sized cities and counties have now established GIS capability.
Just as each municipality is different, municipal GIS operations vary greatly. Partly this variation results from the ongoing development of GIS capability within many city and city and county governments. But how do these agencies know where their GIS development is in relationship to potential capability for similar agencies?
Other agencies consider that their GIS is mature because their implementation project has been completed and they are doing ongoing GIS operations and maintenance. But how do these agencies know if they are lacking basic GIS capability.
Capability maturity models have been used to assess the ability of agencies to develop software successfully. Recently a GIS maturity model was developed to assess state government GIS capability.
This presentation will outline a proposed Municipal GIS Capability Maturity Model and discuss some preliminary results from applying the model to city and county GIS operations in the Pacific Northwest.
This presentation will be of value to managers to self-assess their GIS operation, determine areas for efficiency or effectiveness improvements, assess system risk factors, analyze capability gaps, and prioritize developments required for a mature GIS.

1. Effectively managing a school district requires a geographic
perspective and geographic tools.
Geographic information ranges in scale from the community and its characteristics to the micro geography of a school
and its components. Students, for instance, have geographic locations, including home addresses, homeroom numbers,
and the buses they ride and unique data such as student information system (SIS) standards of grade level, subjects,
grades, attendance, test scores, lunch programs and special needs.
Operating schools and districts also requires management of buildings and grounds, ensuring safety and transporting
students and materials. Doing so efficiently requires integrating and sharing information for better planning and decision
making. GIS provides solutions to help administrators accomplish
these goals.
AOS is a partner with the leading provider of GIS software, ESRI. ESRI
provides software solutions to schools K-12 and colleges and universities.

2. Geographic Information
Systems (GIS)
Geographic information systems or GIS, integrates
hardware, software and data for capturing, managing,
analyzing and displaying all forms of geographically
referenced information.
GIS provides methods to view, understand, question, interpret and visualize data in many ways that
reveal relationships, patterns and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports and charts. GIS helps
answer questions and assists in solving problems by looking at data in a way that is quickly understood
and easily shared.
