Enterprise GIS for Regional Planning
With support from several other university units, we are implementing a Regional Data Center Program designed to assist North Carolina local governments with planning for environmentally sustainable economic growth. These projects involve compiling and providing access via the World Wide Web to a wide variety of data on subjects such as socioeconomic and population trends, natural resources and environmental factors, recreation resources, and transportation infrastructure. World Wide Web users can create, view, query, and print maps displaying data they select. Some of the data will be available for download.
Examples of these databases include the Upper Neuse Region Data System, the Western North Carolina Data System, and the Red Wolves of Alligator River Database. More online databases can be found here: NCSU IMS Links.
The Upper Neuse Region Data System is a prototype project aiming to assist communities in North Carolina with planning and managing their development. Initially, this data collection encompasses a 14-county area surrounding the Research Triangle. This region incorporates the core counties of the Research Triangle, Triangle J Council of Governments, and Upper Neuse River Basin. The following counties are included in the region: Alamance, Chatham, Durham, Edgecombe, Franklin, Granville, Johnston, Harnett, Lee, Nash, Orange, Person, Wake, and Wilson.
This database contains numerous layers of socioeconomic and natural resource data, and data on the built environment relevant for regional planning. The database will provide a foundation for decisions concerning the wise use of resources for long-term economic growth and quality of life. The maps in this database are organized by subjects. Following are the subjects initialy included in the database:
Each map contains data themes related to the broad subject area. Data has been collected through cooperative agreements with state, local, and federal government agencies and from a variety of other sources. This information can be viewed in map form using ArcView Internet Map Server produced by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). World Wide Web users of the prototype system can explore, create and query maps displaying information about the Upper Neuse Region. To display a map, click here: The Upper Neuse Region Data System
The Western North Carolina Data System is a prototype project aiming to assist communities in North Carolina with planning and managing their development. This data collection encompasses a 24-county area in the Western North Carolina Region. The following counties are included in the region: Ashe, Alleghany, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Surry, Swain, Transylvania, Yancey, Watauga, and Wilkes.
This database contains numerous layers of socioeconomic data, natural resource collection, and data on the built environment relevant for regional planning. World Wide Web users can, explore, create, query, and print maps displaying information about the Western North Carolina. Interactive mapping is made possible by the ArcView Internet Map Server extension produced by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). Users do not have to install anything on their systems to use this database. This database can be used on any hardware platform with a Web browser that supports Java.
