 Developing Community Profiles and Implementing Sociocultural Tools in Transportation GIS Track: Transportation Author(s): Phil Matson, Ryan Morrell, Jill Stanford The Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) conducted a Community Outreach/Community Profiles project to identify communities in Indian River County and to develop a database of information for each identified community. The new data and customized GIS tools will serve as the basis of future analyses, and will enable MPO staff to assess the economic and social impacts of a transportation activities on a community. The data collected for this project will complement the Sociocultural Effects (SC/E) Evaluation of the Environmental Screening Tool (EST) performed in Florida's Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process. The resulting toolset, built in the ArcGIS and ArcIMS environment, allows MPO staff and transportation planners to view and evaluate the potential community impacts of alternative transportation improvement projects.
