The Development of a Prototype Municipal Government Information System by High School Students Using GIS Technology
Steve BeckDavid Hortman
The Southern York County (Pennsylvania) School District, in cooperation with the Southern York County Regional Planning Commission, is developing a prototype information system for local government officials and private citizens. Using ArcView GIS and other software components, high school students, under the direction of a faculty member and a volunteer technical advisor, are designing a GIS-based system that will aid local officials within the region to deal with problems and issues related to planning, zoning, infrastructure management, and so forth. The system will also include provisions for public access to data by private citizens. World Wide Web access is also being considered.
