    6. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 6 Issues & solutions Ware and tare Natural incidents Man made incidents

    7. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 7

    8. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 8 but … Public is not aware about the exact person/body to report regarding a particular issue No single contact point to report issues No feedback / transparency Lack of a mechanism to provide location information

    9. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 9 then Delay No attendance at all Negative feeling towards the service providers People become unhappy

    10. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 10 Our approach

    11. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 11 PGIS applications boundary dispute settlements -Verplanke, J. J. & McCall,M. K. (2003), Khem, P. (2006) slum mapping -Lemma.T, Sliuzas.R & Kuffer.M(2006) environmental monitoring such as soil information mapping -Barrera-Bassols, Narciso; Zinck, J. Alfred & van Ranst, E (2009) , community managed forests -Jordan, Gavin (2002) , Minang.P.A & McCall.M(2006) hazard risk identification including vulnerability assessments, health risk mapping, crime mapping etc -McCall, M.K.(2008) …..

    12. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 12 Why web based PGIS? Web - > people oriented overcome barriers in participation time, place & cost increased participation of large communities support create groups and host activities support for different form of applications multimedia spatial analysis tools. -Kyem,P.A.K. & Saku,J.C (2009) which otherwise would be impossible to integrate. which otherwise would be impossible to integrate.

    13. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 13 Overview of the Proposed Approach

    14. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 14 Proposed Approach : Technology

    15. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 15 Technology Stack of FOSS GIS tools only a normal desktop browser is required and no knowledge of technology is assumed from the user. Only vector data is used for the system. All the data are in 1:10000 scale , in local coordinate system. only a normal desktop browser is required and no knowledge of technology is assumed from the user.

    16. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 16 Sample system Area : kaduwela pradeshiya sabha division Sri Lanka Semi urban area in the district of Colombo & provide a suitable reporting form& provide a suitable reporting form

    17. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 17 Facilities provided by the system allow marking complaints regarding road conditions electricity street lighting water supply environmental issues identifies the relevant authorities based user inputs & provide a suitable reporting form E-mail support Visualize the state of complains

    21. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 21 Limitations & way forward Limited supporting data Very limited spatial analysis No local language support Depend solely on Internet Still infancy User acceptance needed

    22. 27.07.2010 MapAsia2010 22 Conclusions An attempt to connect the Government & the general public First step towards implementing a PGIS approach in Sri Lanka Use of FOSS GIS tools
