  1. San Diego Regional GIS Council Local Agency GIS Survey 2006 Summary of Survey Results

  2. SDRGC Local Agency GIS Survey 2006 Develop understanding of GIS in the region Identify capabilities and knowledge available Understand GIS data maintained by agencies Look at region’s growth and transformation Regional GIS baseline for homeland security Past surveys 1995, 1997, 2001 On-line survey through Survey Monkey Grown to meet changing environment Questions developed from other surveys Total of 88 questions

  3. Who Took the Survey • GIS Managers from public agencies • 34 agencies responded • 2 agencies do not currently use GIS • 2 agencies only provided contact information • Response totals for each question varies

  4. GIS Community Mature GIS community In 2006 survey • 57% have 10+ years of experience • Another 17% have between 5-9 years of experience

  5. GIS Community

  6. GIS Community Most agencies use two or more databases

  7. GIS Community

  8. GIS Data 80% maintain additional data outside of SanGIS 90+ data themes maintained by agencies Appendix 5 – Categorized list of layers and agency Metadata • 57% maintain metadata on the layers • Of those 50% meet the minimum FGDC requirements

  9. GIS Applications

  10. GIS Applications

  11. GIS Applications

  12. Geospatial Assistance Please rank the importance of these improvements to your agency's GIS with 1 being the highest importance and 10 the lowest. (Report data indicates percentage of responding agencies that ranked each item in their top 5.) Improve maintenance (data updates) 72% Hire staff 71% Build additional layers 65% Design a system architecture for enterprise GIS 63% Implement applications 56% Increase accuracy 56% Hire consultants 41% Train staff 39% Create interjurisdictional GIS layers or regional layers 33% Acquire hardware, software, or communication systems for data 31%

  13. Geospatial Assistance 70% Access to data 26% helpful to have agency’s data stored on a central server hosted by another agency

  14. Summary • Mature GIS community • ESRI software is the standard in the region • Most agencies rely on SanGIS geospatial layers • Most agencies maintain additional data outside of SanGIS • Metadata is the weakest link in the community • Geospatial data is being used for many applications in many departments • Areas where additional funding could help • Improve data maintenance • Build additional layers • Data access • Additional staffing

  15. The Report • Executive Summary • Respondents Information • Question Responses by Agency • Appendices • Software Usage Tables • GIS Applications Table • Inter/Intra-net Applications • Coordinate Systems Table • Layers Maintained by Agency • Geospatial Assistance Table • Contact Information www.SDRGC.org
