GIS : Advancement on Spatial Intelligence Applications in Government

Abstract

A number of approaches for integrating GIS and qualitative research have emerged in recent years. Despite significant growth in public participation GIS (PPGIS) literature since the 1990s, little engagement by e-government scholars is evident in the extensive scholarly PPGIS debates. To fill this void, recent trends in PPGIS adoption by local governments are analyzed. Three waves of GIS are identified: desktop GIS, web GIS, and the Geospatial Web 2.0 platform. Such technological advancements have progressively eased GIS accessibility from expert users to ordinary citizens, accompanied by considerable growth in adopting PPGIS for traffic and transit, volunteered geographic information, and customer relationship management. However, limited use of PPGIS for higher levels of participation such as decision making is found. Barriers to PPGIS adoption for decision making seem less technological and more institutional.

“…The more user-friendly development of GIS technology has opened up for map-based methods to collect data from the public. PPGIS often includes a qualitative approach, with several such approaches having been developed over the years ( WeiWei and WeiDong, 2015 ). PPGIS mostly deals with gathering location-bound data based on people's experiences, often allowing participants to plot places in a map combined with adding experiences of the place.…”

Intelligence in public management: an analysis from an institutional perspective

“…This study considers the context marked by the lack of applicability of intelligence in public management activities and the need to strengthen the organizational culture focused on this public management approach. Also, studies suggest that the barriers to the transition and structuring of intelligence in public management seem less technological and more institutional Salvador & Ramió, 2020;Vieira & Alvaro, 2018;WeiWei & WeiDong, 2015). Therefore, this research analyzed the dimensions of intelligence in public management under the lens of institutional theory and theoretically discussed a model of institutionalization of intelligence in public management.…”

“…Organizational Structure -redesigning the structure and considering the technical implications of transitioning to a smarter government, in which information is centralized through organizational and management mechanisms Salvador & Ramió, 2020;Vieira & Alvaro, 2018;WeiWei & WeiDong, 2015);…”

“…Intelligence in government refers to rethinking public management (Schedler, 2018). According to Haleweh (2018), Salvador and Ramió (2020), Vieira andAlvaro (2018), andWeiWei andWeiDong (2015), the barriers to transitioning to smart government and structuring it seem less technological and more institutional.…”

“…This set of conditions may be organizational, technological, and human (Mu, Haershan, & Wu, 2022) and may explain the low applicability of the dimensions of intelligence in government (Melati & Janissek-Muniz, 2020). In addition, some studies point to the need for theoretical advances in the area of intelligence in the public sector concerning its institutionalization since the barriers to the transition and structuring of a smart government seem less technological and more institutional Salvador & Ramió, 2020;Vieira & Alvaro, 2018;WeiWei & WeiDong, 2015).…”
