Parks Inventory GIS Ananlysis at the City of Calgary
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Nadia Shahriari Namini

The Geomatics Division is responsible for the maintenance and/or population of more than 200 SDE layers that are used by 3,000+ internal and external GIS users within the City of Calgary. In addition, complex data conversion, integration, and GIS analysis are required to create custom datasets for specific business applications. These processes are performed by the GIS Mapping group in this Division using ArcGIS and FME.



GIS Mapping group has several success stories in using effective and powerful GIS tools for answering complex analytical questions and supporting the decision-making processes. One of the ongoing projects is GIS analysis to provide Parks Management with up-to-date, accurate, and detailed Parks Inventory.



This presentation will give an overview of some of the more interesting and complicated analytical processes used in this project. The current data integration and analysis issues will be highlighted, and the benefits of using GIS technology will be outlined.
