1. Geography and the Autoecology of Desert Elkweed
Tom Schweich, consultant
Desert Elkweed (Swertia albomarginata) is a pretty little plant found amongst Pinyons and Junipers in the American southwest. Restricted mostly to carbonate-based soils, the species has an unusual life history for perennial desert plants, in that it blooms only once in its life cycle, and then dies. Tom has followed a population of these plants in Mojave National Preserve since 1996 and the study is ongoing. He will tell about his research and current results with an emphasis on geography and geographical challenges, while bringing in examples of botanical data administration and mapping from this study and other recent work in the Mono Lake basin

2. Using Geography to Assess Urban Development Potential

Presenters:
Stella Wotherspoon & Kearey Smith
Metropolitan Transportation

Two regional agencies, ABAG and MTC, are collaborating on a regional planning initiative
(Focusing Our Vision) to identify areas within the region that are: within an existing community,
near high quality transit, and planned for additional housing. This effort has engaged local
governments and community organizations in a regional visioning exercise, using GIS as a
decision-making tool.

Geographic databases were developed to represent the spatial characteristics of locations
within the region based upon strategies defined by the Focusing Our Vision planning effort.
These databases were used in a spatial weighted overlay model to determine the best locations
for infill development within the nine-county Bay Area Region. This spatial model assigns
importance to the attribute values associated with each characteristic using a weighting scheme
that compares each theme as it relates to the overall objectives of the project goals.

Prevention Research Center
1995 University Avenue, Suite 450
Berkeley, CA 94704

ArcGIS is a very flexible and powerful GIS program but to an ordinary analyst, ArcObjects, VB6, C++ and even Python programming can
be daunting. Model Builder allows the analyst to drag and drop whole processes into a Model, tweak the properties, validate and
then run a complex series of processes. The Model can be exported to Python for further editing or simply adjusted and rerun within
Model Builder. It provides a very simple way to ensure consistent repetition of a complex task, and can easily be shared with others.

East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) has employed GIS for over 20 years now. During the first 10 years, the focus was on the construction of GIS database by converting map books to GIS layers. The second 10 years was focus on application implementation and development. The developed GIS applications are to be used by district employees and the usage has seen rapidly increase in recent few years.

The GIS has been developed into applications to support variety of business activities which include customer services, water distribution system planning, construction, maintenance and operation, water quality monitoring, water supply management, natural resource and watershed management, water conservation, emergency preparedness, environment protection and public affairs administration. Plenty of GIS tools have been specially designed and built for data acquisition and reconciliation over spatial platform, work order scheduling, routing and dispatching, spatial entity identification, verification and confirmation, mapping and reporting, spatial analysis and modeling.

The presentation highlights some of GIS applications that have been used on regular basis with proven efficiency and cost benefit.

2. Signs Inventory Application
Presented by:
Alton Chinn
GIS Analyst
Planning Department
City and County of San Francisco

Using ArcMap and an application created with Visual Studio and ArcObjects, our planners have been taking tablet PCs onto the streets of San Francisco to inspect signs enumerated in lists provided by the major outdoor advertising sign companies. Besides verifying and correcting information provided by the companies, planners have been finding unreported signs and have added them to our geodatabase for later review and code enforcement. Every sign is photographed at least once, and the resulting file is wirelessly stored on the tablet PCs. Using Python scripts developed for ArcToolbox, the department updates a staging copy of the personal geodatabase on the network.

See the real application running on a tablet PC.

3. GIS-Based Demand Forecasting Tool for Utility Supply Planning

Presented by:
Nadeem Shaukat
Vice President
DCSE, Inc.

DCSE has developed an automated geographic information system (GIS)-based water demand forecasting tool to rapidly estimate the water demands in response to changes in the land use and the related use factors. The changes in land use include varying the build-out and the phasing plans to evaluate different growth scenarios. The automated tool is used to generate and analyze the water demand component of the WRMP. The water demand data generated by the forecasting tool is used to evaluate the system capacity and to plan future system expansions.

ArcView is used as the front-end graphical user interface (GUI), as well as a tool for displaying post-processed data. This facilitates changing the water use factors and updating water demand forecasts. Data is stored in a relational database. The algorithms for computing water demand are bundled in a Forecast Generator Engine (FGE), using Java. The tool includes extensive on-line help and documentation.

This presentation will demonstrate the use of this tool with real data in works.

1. Serving and Collecting GIS Data In The Field - Real Time!

Presenter:
Mehmet "DJ" Kutsal
Information Systems Manager
Contra Costa County,
Public Works Department

Abstract: Contra Costa County Public Works Department (CCCPWD) uses PDA based cell phones in the field to serve and collect geographically based information. This includes maps and associated attributes, documents, and photographs. We have integrated a sub-meter GPS with the phones, all of which fits on a small clipboard. Information collected is immediately posted on our servers and made available. If a crew is collecting data in one part of the County and someone wants to see it at the opposite side of the County, the turnaround is immediate. CCCPWD utilizes ArcIMS, SDE/ORACLE, and our own programs to accomplish this seamlessly. The practicality of this system was demonstrated last fall when a landslide took out a portion of Morgan Territory Road along with a pickup truck. Data and photographs were immediately transmitted to the main office. Precautions were taken immediately to close the road and a press release was issued.

2. Managing and Sharing GIS Data with MyGeographyNetwork

Presenter: Yuvraj Mathur
Cybertech Systems Inc.
http://www.cybertech.com

This presentation is about publishing and distributing spatial information over the Internet via ESRI's Geography Network. Users can access Geographic data over the Internet by using Metadata search capabilities to find useful data. ArcIMS 4.x makes it possible for users to publish their geographic data by building their own Geographic Network (MyGN.com) and linking it to the ESRI Geography Network. MyGN.com is a customized geography network for a customer's specific need. It allows the customer to publish geographic information, authorize it and make it available for the users to access over the Internet. This information can either be accessed directly by searching on the metadata and viewed in a browser, or can be used in applications. In turn MyGN.com can be linked to the ESRI Geography Network and be a subcriber/contributor to the latter. The goal is to create geographic communities consisting of several MyGN.com networks integrated to the ESRI Geography Network to share spatial data for mutual benefit and prevent duplication of data creation. After implementing the solution, users will find it easy to manage their geo-spatial data where creators of the data will still be responsible for maintaining the data while making it available to other users using search and browse capabilities.
