AbstractIntegrating GIS and BI for Developing Land Use Planning RIATrack: State and Local Government Author Chicago Community Land use planning IMS is a pilot study to demonstrate the efficacy and usefulness of providing community land use planning information to public and decision makers in an interactive web-based format. By seamlessly integrating GIS and BI into a Rich Internet Application (RIA), users can link standard interactive charts and active reports with maps dynamically. The Esri's ArcGIS API for Flex provides the ability to create highly dynamic, interactive, mapping RIAs on top of ArcGIS Server. WebFOCUS Flex Enable from Information Builders is an add-on to Adobe Flex Builder that performs all Business Intelligence (BI) functions, also takes advantage of all Flex visualization, animation, and interaction effects. Integrating BI reports with maps and GIS analysis on the Flex platform can greatly enhance land use planning decision making. It provides new ways to view and access data, which leads to deeper levels of analysis previously unavailable in either environment. Guangyu Wu Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning 233 S.
