City and regional planning software in context : a rating framework for Planning Support SystemsPhelan, Chad Maclay 17 August 2010 (has links)
The difficulty of projecting ecological impacts, as well as the increasing familiarity of planners
with Geographical Information Systems and other software technology has led to an increase in the use of Planning Support Systems (PSS) by city and regional planners. Due to their newness
and rapid development, there is, of yet, a lack of a comprehensive peer-reviewed literature on the
design and implementation of these systems. This thesis proposes and applies a rating framework
for PSS in order to facilitate accessibility to and critical investigation of PSS. The rating
framework’s criteria are based on the “seven sins” of comprehensive land use models identified by Douglass Lee’s 1973 article “Requiem for Large-Scale Models." / text

Volcanic hazard risk assessment for the RiskScape program, with test application in Rotorua, New Zealand, and Mammoth Lakes, USA.Kaye, Grant David January 2008 (has links)
This thesis presents a new GIS-based scenario volcanic risk assessment model called RiskScape
Volcano (RSV) that has been designed for the RiskScape program to advance the field of volcanic
risk assessment. RiskScape is a natural hazards risk assessment software tool being developed in New
Zealand by GNS Science and NIWA. When integrated into RiskScape, RSV will add proximal
volcanic hazard risk assessment capability, and enhanced inventory design; it presently operates
outside of RiskScape by combining volcanic hazard models’ output spatial hazard intensity (hazard
maps) with inventory databases (asset maps) in GIS software to determine hazard exposure, which is
then combined with fragility functions (relationships between hazard intensity and expected damage
ratios) to estimate risk. This thesis consists of seven publications, each of which comprises a part of
the development and testing of RSV: 1) results of field investigation of impacts to agriculture and
infrastructure of the 2006 eruption of Merapi Volcano, Indonesia; 2) agricultural fragility functions
for tephra damage in New Zealand based on the observations made at Merapi; 3) examination of wind
patterns above the central North Island, New Zealand for better modeling of tephra dispersal with the
ASHFALL model; 4) a description of the design, components, background, and an example
application of the RSV model; 5) test of RSV via a risk assessment of population, agriculture, and
infrastructure in the Rotorua District from a rhyolite eruption at the Okataina Volcanic Centre; 6) test
of RSV via a comparison of risk to critical infrastructure in Mammoth Lakes, California from an
eruption at Mammoth Mountain volcano versus an eruption from the Inyo craters; and 7) a survey of
volcanic hazard awareness in the tourism sector in Mammoth Lakes. Tests of the model have
demonstrated that it is capable of providing valid and useful risk assessments that can be used by local
government and emergency management to prioritise eruption response planning and risk mitigation
efforts. RSV has provided the RiskScape design team with a more complete quantitative volcanic risk
assessment model that can be integrated into RiskScape and used in New Zealand and potentially
overseas.

Combining Quantitative Eye-Tracking and GIS Techniques With Qualitative Research Methods to Evaluate the Effectiveness of 2D and Static, 3D Karst Visualizations: Seeing Through the Complexities of Karst EnvironmentsTyrie, Elizabeth Katharyn 01 May 2014 (has links)
Karst environments are interconnected landscapes vulnerable to degradation. Many instances of anthropogenic karst disturbance are unintentional, and occur because of the public's lack of understanding or exposure to karst knowledge. When attempts are made to educate the general public about these landscapes, the concepts taught are often too abstract to be fully understood. Thus, karst educational pursuits must use only the most efficient and effective learning materials. A technique useful for assessing educational effectiveness of learning materials is eye-tracking, which allows scientists to quantitatively measure an individual's points of interest and eye movements when viewing a 2D or 3D visualization. Visualization developers use eye-tracking data to create graphics that hold the observer's attention and, thereby, enhance learning about a particular concept. This study aimed to assess and improve the educational effectiveness of 2D karst visualizations by combining eye-tracking techniques with Geographic Information Systems, knowledge assessments, and semi-structured interviews. The first phase of this study consisted of groups of 10 participants viewing 2D karst visualizations with one category of manipulated visual stimuli. The second phase consisted of groups of 10-15 participants viewing 2D karst visualizations that were created based on the results from the first phase. The results of this study highlighted both effective stimuli in karst visualizations and stimuli that hinder the educational effectiveness of visualizations.

Towards a New GIS Maturity Model: An Organizational Usage PerspectiveAlrwais, Omer Abdulaziz 01 January 2016 (has links)
The first condition required for an Information Technology (IT) system to produce value is that it be used by its designated target group of users. Despite the prevalence of “system use” in IS literature, it has been often limited to the individual level. The organizational perspective is rarely considered. This dissertation focuses on system usage in the GIS domain through an organizational lens. GIS is a technology with the potential to transform government by enhancing business processes and providing a platform to manage spatial and non-spatial data, which is expected to result in better decision-making. However, little is known about how this technology is actually implemented organization-wide and the environment surrounding its use. Current GIS maturity models have not examined this usage broadly or in depth. These models lack empirical validation and measurement tools to diagnose maturity are not readily available. Based on GIS, maturity models, and system usage literature, this dissertation presents a more comprehensive maturity model for evaluating local government usage of GIS along with a measurement tool. This work followed De Bruin et al., (2005) guidelines for developing maturity models. This new model was discussed with practitioners and academics, was pilot-tested, and then widely tested by Southern California local governments through an online questionnaire. Results show support for the validity of the proposed maturity model and demonstrate its utility. This dissertation revealed that system, task, user, organization and GIS department are viable dimensions of GIS usage from an organizational perspective. Results suggest that increasing actual GIS usage leads to an increase in GIS value. Results further show that the efficiency and effectiveness benefits of GIS are mostly realized; however, the societal benefits of GIS are small.
