GIS Requirements / Challenges Central data store Flexible spatial analysis - Data updates - Changes in methodology Webmap editing Mobile data collection Visualisation of results - Summary of assessment results in Proformas - Maps 7
Central Data Store Central Data Store SQL database ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase Multiuser editing Hosted in own network Single source of truth Security/access levels Domains ensure data quality Desktop Users ArcGIS Server/Portal Mobile Data Webmap Users 8
Flexible Spatial Analysis 30 GIS assessments across stages: - Standard spatial analysis - Network analysis - Raster analysis Each assessment results in a score for each site Examples of criteria are: - Flood risk - Air quality - Open space - Distance to public transport Sites GIS Assessment Score Criteria (++) (+) 0 (-) (--) 9
Flexible Spatial Analysis Automation using Python (arcpy) Consistency in methodology 10
Webmap Editing ArcGIS Server / Portal Data edited by different stakeholders User-friendly No GIS software required Removed redundancy Live updated data Greater transparency in sharing of information Topic specific maps 11
12 Webmap Editing ArcGIS Server / Portal
Mobile Data Collection ArcGIS Collector ios / Android devices Data synced on central data store Pre-defined input forms to assess attribute information - Dropdowns - Date fields Drawing of polygons Photo attachments 13
Visualisation of Results - Proformas 500 sites for Stage 2 Data driven pages Overview and zoom maps Dynamic table using attribute information Rule-based text fields Color-coded boxes 14 0 0 (-) (--) Site is not located within or adjacent to Ancient Woodland. Site lies outside of areas identified as being poor of air quality. Site is more than 4000m from the nearest rail or tube station. Majority of the site is greenfield land that is neither within nor adjacent to a settlement.
