2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 How U.S. Planning Agencies Are Using GIS and Technology Track: State and Local Government Author(s): David Simpson, Mike Gritz, Chris Steins The American Planning Association, Information Technology Division, in partnership with the University of Louisville, and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), is conducting this first-ever national survey regarding the use of Internet technologies in planning agencies. The Web has rapidly changed the world of business, but government has consistently lagged behind. In an effort to evaluate the use of Internet technology for government applications, this survey examines the adoption of Internet technologies as the vehicle for local government practice, specifically within the field of urban planning. The study will survey and analyze the content of local planning agencies Web sites, and adoption of various other technologies. Through the development of a new methodological instrument and a systematic approach to analyzing the use of technology, the research will have implications for a wide range of government activity that is conducted online.
