Author(s): Darryl L. Petker
The California Integrated Waste Management Board is using GIS to manage and share information about California solid waste issues by displaying critical environmental information on the World Wide Web. GIS has become a critical component of this Web-based portal, supporting e-government and sharing solid waste information for decision making efforts. This paper discusses the goals, implementation strategies, and lessons learned using GIS to share information on solid waste issues including local recycling/diversion rates, permitting and inspections of solid waste landfills, and K-12 educational efforts. Discussion includes addressing workplace culture changes in promoting GIS-based images in reports, papers, presentations, and meetings. Esri products used include ArcIMS, ArcView GIS, MapObjects, MapObjects Internet Map Server, and ArcExplorer.
