Abstract

Applying a Spider Diagram for Resource Allocation
Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS Programs
Authors: Katie Lewers, Brad Tatham

Like many organizations working with finite budgets and limited resources, the goal is to better understand current resource distribution in order to improve the program while more efficiently allocating resources. Using a spider diagram to compare location of students in relation to training locations, the OTSGS was able to quickly identify and visualize underserved areas for potential training locations in order to minimize travel costs for tribal and BIA employees.
