Abstract
 ArcIMS Software-Based Land Development Monitoring: Prototype for Harford County, Maryland Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Zorica Nedovic-Budic, Gerrit Knaap, Tolga Yilmaz The goal of this project was to design and develop a prototype GIS Web site that would facilitate monitoring of local urban development. In the face of persistent problems with urban sprawl and increasing efforts to curb it with smart growth and other policies, this Web site would allow the various stakeholders to review the location, pattern, and intensity of previous development; examine the development capacity allowed by existing land use regulations; and explore the development setting in terms of environmental sensitivity, demographic, and economic trends and availability and accessibility to local amenities. The prototype was created using ArcIMS and customized using JavaScript for online selection, display, editing, and analysis of GIS data and land monitoring indicators. It will be used for developing Web sites for other counties in Maryland. This project is sponsored by the National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education, University of Maryland.
