“…Because of GIS integration functionality, stakeholders including local residents, local organizations, and government agencies were able to integrate local and professional knowledge and form consensus of land use zoning. Ganapati (2010) argued that PPGIS led to a more informed discussion based on factual information rather than emotional outbursts and resulted in a more democratic decision-making process. In Meinong case, PPGIS provided an open discussion platform.…”

“…Public participation GIS (PPGIS) was initiated in the 1990s, and it refers to the use of GIS to support public participation in planning, management and decision making (Ganapati, 2011;Sieber, 2006). Technologies that enable PPGIS have evolved from traditional desktop-based GIS to Web GIS and to Geospatial Web 2.0 platforms over the past two decades (Ganapati, 2010). In addition, the increasing availability of open GIS software has removed the costs associated with installing proprietary software, which also contributes to the expansion of PPGIS (Hall, Chipeniuk, Feick, Leahy, & Deparday, 2010).…”

Characterizing New Channels of Communication: A Case Study of Municipal 311 Requests in Edmonton, Canada

City governments around the world are developing and expanding how they connect to citizens. Technologies play an important role in making this connection, and one frequent way that cities connect with citizens is through 311-style request systems. 311 is a non-emergency municipal notification system that uses telephone, email, web forms, and increasingly, mobile applications to allow citizens to notify government of infrastructure issues and make requests for municipal services. In many ways, this process of citizen contribution mirrors the provision of volunteered geographic information, that is spatially-referenced user generated content. This research presents a case study of the city of Edmonton, Canada, an early adopter of multi-channel 311 service request systems, including telephone, email, web form, and mobile app 311 request channels. Three methods of analysis are used to characterize and compare these different channels over three years of request data; a comparison of relative request share for each channel, a spatial hot spot analysis, and regression models to compare channel usage with sociodemographic variables. The results of this study indicate a shift in channel usage from traditional to Internet-enabled, that this shift is mirrored in the hotspots of request activity, and that specific digital inequalities exist that reinforce this distinction between traditional and Internetenabled reporting channels.

“…A GIS allows places to be analyzed with attribute data such as poverty levels, housing values, air quality, and other environmental indicators. The Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) literature warns of ethical and practical dilemmas of using GIS to engage the public to Post-Print, Progress in Community Health Partnerships, 2013 organizational and neighborhood problems (18)(19)(20)(21). Competing ethical demands include balancing government transparency, individual privacy, security, and fiscal stewardship (21).…”

“…While first wave GIS in the 1990s required elite professional expertise to operate desktop software, second wave GIS is web-based and gives lay-persons access to information. Third wave GIS is mobile and allows scenario planning and interaction with users (19). For example, in Missouri non-profit organizations used GIS to solve immediate problems related to employment training, high school retention, substance abuse, and child abuse or neglect (22).…”

Background: Assessing neighborhood vitality is important to understand how to improve quality of life and health outcomes. The ecocity model recognizes that cities are part of natural systems and favors walkable neighborhoods. This article introduces ecocity mapping, an innovative planning method, to the public health literature on community engagement by describing a pilot project with a new affordable housing development in Oakland, California between 2007 and 2009. While ecocity mapping began as a paper technology, advances in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) moved it forward.
