![]() Web-GIS Integration in Gwinnett County: A Multi-Faceted Approach Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Sharon Stevenson, Faizal Hasham, Jeff Albee Gwinnett County, Georgia, has implemented a comprehensive Web-GIS solution for County staff. The County is located 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, Georgia and has a population of approximately 700,000. Eight departments in Gwinnett County are making use of the Web-GIS solution, which is powered by Esri's ArcIMS and Orion's OnPoint. They include Transportation, Public Utilities, Financial Services, Support Services, Police Services, Fire and Emergency Services, Planning and Development, and Community Services. Gwinnett County's GIS team, with the assistance of their integration consultant AMEC Earth and Environmental, began the project by conducting detailed interviews with each department. Key components of these interviews will be discussed in the paper. Gwinnett County has undertaken a systematic and detailed approach to Web-GIS implementation. Web-GIS is being used in many different ways, from printing basemaps to selecting buffers, to connecting to spatial and non-spatial data sources. In this way, Gwinnett County has leveraged the full power of Web-GIS.
