“…However, this particular study leveraged locally available GIS expertise and Web GIS instead of deploying a SUMA software application installation or building other technology evaluation options from scratch. The study was a continuation of the work undertaken previously by the authors (Godfrey & Stoddart, 2018) that demonstrated the feasibility of using Web GIS as a means to capture and articulate library space usage. The research is also built upon the previous GIS library space work such as that by Bishop and Mandel (2010), Coyle (2011), Elliott (2014), Given and Archibald (2015), Mandel (2010), and Xia (2004Xia ( , 2005) that all explored the connections of GIS and library space evaluation.…”

“…There was also the future potential to collaborate on similar library spaces projects with regional libraries that already had GIS expertise on their campuses. The authors' previous study (Godfrey & Stoddart, 2018) outlined in more detail the technology and technical specifics of using Web GIS for space assessment. The researchers and trained staff gathered data by observation during the operating hours of the Curriculum Center.…”

“…In this way, the library staff could begin to associate the usage of a space with different types of learning. This work builds on previous research by the authors that detailed the technical, technology, and some methodological aspects of this project that focused primarily on data gathered in the main library (Godfrey & Stoddart, 2018). This current article reports on a different dataset concentrating on one specific library space, the Curriculum Center, which is embedded in the university's College of Education.…”

Objective –This article reports on a pilot research project that gathered usage statistics in specifically designated library learning spaces using a Web-based Geographic Information System (GIS). These learning spaces were then mapped to expected learning activities that would occur in these areas based on its intention or design. In this way, the library could begin to associate the usage of a space with different types of learning. The researchers then mapped these learning activities to campus learning outcomes to create learning impact statements. Methods – The researchers used observation data gathered with a Web GIS tool to examine space usage within the library’s curriculum center. Results – The pilot study found that student usage of the curriculum center was mainly associated with two campus learning outcomes: (1) Communicate and (2) Learning and Integrate. The evidence also indicated possible design improvements that may make the curriculum centers spaces more functional for students. Conclusions – The Web GIS tool proved to be a useful tool to gather evidence of student space usage within the library environment. The mapping of individual spaces to learning activities further enhanced the usefulness in interpreting how students are using library spaces. Leveraging the space usage data within learning outcomes statements created another means for the library to communicate its learning impact with campus stakeholders.

“…Their impacts on test scores and attendance are also demonstrated. Overall, GIS can be used to give the optimal location of anything inside the school like Wi-Fi (Ebner et al, 2017 ) or any other resource (Godfrey & Stoddart, 2018 ).…”

An evaluation of primary schools and its accessibility using GIS techniques: a case study of Prayagraj district, India

2022

The spatial analysis of primary schools is needed to ensure that they meet standards set by the Government of India. Therefore, mapping of Prayagraj district primary schools is carried out in this research work. The spatial analysis of schools is performed using various parameters that include: literacy rate, student gender ratio, teacher taught ratio, and students’ toilets ratio. Several problems were revealed in the GIS based analysis of schools by highlighting their locations on the map. The results identify the location of all those schools where there is a need to take corrective measures. Further, the route analysis between home and school is handled in this research work. Sometimes, commutation is the sole criteria in the selection of a school. Therefore, optimal path analysis has been performed based on three parameters, i.e. population density, traveling distance and traveling time. A combined weight function is also given to find the optimal path. This work will help people to select the best possible path based upon their requirements. There is often a requirement to reach all the schools to distribute the goods or other physical monitoring activities. This work gave the optimal route to visit all the schools by using the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). School accessibility results obtained in this research through TSP will assist in choosing the best possible route. This will help the government identify locations where new roads need to be constructed to have road connectivity.

“…Selain itu, PDDI memilih Banyuwangi karena Banyuwangi juga sudah memasang WebGIS sehingga akan mempermudah pemasangan pohon industri ke peta digital. Untuk membangun WebGIS, Godfrey and Stoddart (2018) menyarankan agar melakukan kolaborasi antar lembaga dan lintas institusi untuk membangun WebGIS bersama. PDDI bekerja sama dengan pemerintah…”

Introduction. Not all scientific work can be easily utilized directly by the public (society). Pusat Data dan Dokumentasi Informasi Ilmiah (PDDI) has not optimally disseminated knowledge products. The knowledge products should be assembled, visualized and informed - through digital media. This paper aims to examine whether WebGIS can be used as a medium for disseminating information. Data Collection Method. The method used was descriptive qualitative. Data collection was conducted by means of a survey. Data Analysis. This research use descriptive analysis. The results of the survey analysis were reviewed with the results of literature studies so that conclusions could be drawn to answer the research questions. Results and Discussions. The survey shows that the Banyuwangi community expect that an interactive industrial tree to be attached in the WebGIS (BAGEOS) of the Banyuwangi Regency Government. The survey shows that installing industrial trees on BAGEOS is not only beneficial for BAGEOS, but also for the community. Conclusions. Combination between industrial trees with WebGIS or digital maps is a good combination. All respondents agreed to pair industrial trees on digital maps. GIS is capable as a medium for disseminating information packaging.
