Bottomline

• Increased use of GIS in public service is very
  benefitial
• The use of GIS enables presentation of societal
  planning on Internet thus increasing the option
  for influence from the citizens
• One prerequisite for increased use of GIS is
  higher skills among the personnel within the
  regional governments and city administrations

4
Present Problems when Implementing GIS

• Lack of basic GIS knowledge
• Lack of comprehensive GIS knowledge
• Data exchange is problematic
• Low access to relevant data in digital format
• Data costs
• Lack of standards, shared concepts and
  standardised data structures

5
Basic Objectives for StrateGIS

• Stimulate to use of GIS
• Initiate increased production of digital data
• Facilitate data exchange
• Contribute to increased co-operation between data
  producers and data users

6
Use of GIS as a Tool for Reducing Costs within
the Administration

Parallel working processes Efficient data
management Shared data Applying the geography in
order to link different types of information More
aspects to be considered


7
Improved Information Exchange within the Societal
Planning Process

Between departments within a city
administration Between the regional government
and the city administration Between the national
government and the city administration Between
the city administration and the citizens

Improve the Efficiency within the Regional and
City Adminstrations

The regional government - national planning
interests Data exchange between the regional
government and the city administration -
PilotGIS standards Simplified information
transfer shared basic definitions in the
planning process


10
Implement Systematic Use of Internet/Intranet in
the Societal Planning Process

Use of centralised data storage media
simplified updating less version
problems Parallel and simultaneous processes in a
number of locations regional government
