Legal Problems – GIS Solutions: Mapping For Dispute Res
Track: Geodesign
Authors: Seth Behn

Bringing GIS solutions to bear on environmental permitting, property disputes and governmental affairs to illustrate the interaction of complex factors has proved instrumental in the resolution of: determining the rights to sovereign submerged land through historic aerial analysis, reconstruction of platted easements to illustrate stormwater management rights, and mapping development boundaries within sensitive ecological areas. The unique approach defines a new field for the GIS professional.
