Abstract
A Nationwide WWW-Based GIS for Coordinating Community Development ActivitiesTrack: Application Development
Author(s): James C. Meyer
Like many organizations, 4H has national priorities that require the collection of information from their local chapters for implementation. We have developed a prototype WWW-based GIS application that collects spatial data and associated surveys of Internet use and availability to address the penetration and availability of the Internet in communities to address the "digital divide" issue. The survey results and spatial data are collected via a Web browser in a central database that allows for querying and reporting so that decision makers can understand trends and spatial variation across the country and construct policies to further their goals.
