Abstract
A GIS Model for Predicting Occurrences of Illegal Dumping
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Stephen Brown, Susan Stuver, Vincent Romero
As the cost of disposing trash, garbage, and construction materials continues to increase, it is likely that there will also be increasing incidences of illegal dumping across the United States. This presentation will demonstrate how a GIS model was developed by the University of Texas at San Antonio to predict the susceptibility of urban areas in San Antonio, Texas, to illegal dumping. This presentation will also demonstrate how the model was developed using the ModelBuilder utility of the ArcView Spatial Analyst extension and how illegal dump site data collection can be streamlined using GPS.
