Abstract

Applied Sociology: The Role of GIS in Evaluating Non-Profit Programs
Track: Human Services
Authors: Timothy Cheney

Applied Sociologists are increasingly being called upon to provide not only solutions and recommendations for �clients� using more traditional theories and research methodologies, but to integrate more contemporary technologies such as ArcGIS in their research and presentations. In this paper, a number of projects that have utilized GIS mapping, techniques, and solutions to address specific problems of non-profit organizations in Northeast Florida will be presented.
