Dr. Edgar M. Horwood

Professor of Civil Engineering and Urban Planning

University of Washington School of Engineering

URISA Founder

The Development of a Geospatial Society: Past Foundations

Professor Horwood‟s simple but disruptive question to the U.S. Census Bureau in 1962:

“Can you let me have the 1960 census data for the U.S. on digital tape?‟

Page 14: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

August 28, 1963

Dr. Martin Luther King delivers his ‘I have a dream’ speech

during the March on Washington

Page 15: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

August 28, 1963

Dr. Edgar Horwood of the University of Washington

convened the first URISA Conference in Los Angeles

Page 16: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

Edgar Horwood and the birth of URISA:

Working with University of Washington Geography Department – established a short course on data mapping presented in 1962 and 1963

1963 to 1966 Urban Planning Information Systems and Programs Conferences for short course alumni

1963 Conference considered first URISA Annual Conference

In 1966 the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) was formally established with Dr. Horwood as first President.

URISA and the development of geospatial technology:

URISA short course 1963 graduate Howard Fischer assumed the challenge to develop an improved card mapping system

Fischer developed SYMAP for automated chloropleth and contour mapping

In 1965 Fischer established the Harvard Computer Graphics Laboratory where he released computer mapping source code

Jack Dangermond developed ArcInfo from the Harvard R&D program, leading to the development of Esri

Reflections on Survey and GIS Survey Profession is property focused

Determines authoritative location

Focus on the exclusive use of tools and methodology

Develop maps that become legal documents

Has a code of ethics

Delivers value to society

Its work is focused on „property‟

What is its „Moral Imperative‟?

What is the focus of the GIS Profession? Ummm…?

Stuff surveyors don‟t want to do?

Using GIS tools?

Quantitative Survey (n = 200)

Final ROI Report

Revised Interview/Survey Instruments for future studies

Page 59: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

With or without survey methodology:

How has GIS altered agency output levels?

Benefits associated with FTE reductions to produce the same (pre-GIS) level of output

Benefits associated with enhanced production with the same FTE levels

Three stage analysis:

Interview agency heads and key employees to assess the types of applications and business uses. Interviews were used to build an employee survey.

Employees and managers across King County responded to the survey to record their pre and current (or with vs. without) GIS productivity by output types.

Interview and survey results were compiled by output type, agency, and productivity levels. Results were then monetized.

Monetized benefits compared to detailed GIS capital O&M, and end-user costs

KCGIS GIS ROI Study: Methodology

Page 60: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

KCGIS GIS ROI Study Results

Page 61: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

“The most conservative estimate presented finds that the use of GIS has produced

approximately $775 million in net benefits over the eighteen year period from 1992 to

2010….

Thus a reasonable estimate of total gains is between $180 million and $87 million in

2010.”

Questions & Answers:

At what stage is KCGIS in the total potential business use of GIS?

Are the KCGIS results „good‟?

How do we know?

Do we need similar studies of other large counties?

What about a single „latitudinal‟ study of 15-20 mid-sized cities in Washington & Oregon & British Columbia?

Are government agency officials not now compelled to pursue full GIS development?

Dr. Costis Toregas at United Nations Conference on GIS - presentation titled “Geography as a Municipal Asset”

“Geography has always been a major integrative element in municipal administration. Many points of municipal policy concern are debatable, but geography can be said to be constant and decisive. The location of a tree or a city block cannot change, nor be the topic of a debate. For this reason, the spread of Geographic Information Systems (or GIS) has been rapid and dramatic in state and local government institutions. “

Is There a GIS Profession? ArcNews, Summer 2012: Strengthening the GIS Profession, by David DiBiase What is the Moral Imperative of the GIS Profession?

The GIS profession uses geographic theory, spatial analysis, and geospatial technology to help society manage the Earth‟s finite space, with its natural

resources and communities, on a just and sustainable basis for the benefit of humanity.

Does GIS Provide Value to Society? ArcNews, Summer 2012: King County Documents ROI of GIS (minimum $776 million net benefit over 18 years, $87 million in 2010) http://www.esri.com/news/arcnews/index.html

GIS operations are maturing – or they should be

GIS operations manage large capital investments

GIS operations require large operating budgets

GIS is a proven technology for effective municipal administration (standard of care)

GIS operations deliver huge returns on investment

Local agency leaders and managers must deploy GIS for cost-effective government services (and to comply with the standard of care)

Geospatial technology is complex, continues to evolve, and continues to provide new opportunities

The management of municipal GIS operations is complex, evolving, and requires a scientific, professional approach

URISA‟s GIS Management Institute What is the Business Need?

Page 80: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

Is GIS management distinct from other types of municipal management? The management of GIS requires knowledge skills and abilities that set it apart from and

above many other management domains, due to its complexity, importance for effective services, and integrative role in local government enterprise operations.

Proposals that GIS operations should be supervised by licensed engineers or surveyors are not supported by the breadth of knowledge domains required for GIS management.

Page 85: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

URISA‟s GIS Management Institute Who will use the GMI, and why?

Babinski’s Theory of GIS Management:

As GIS Operational Maturity Improves, ROI Increases

Page 86: URISA The Development of a Geospatial Society, ROI, and Why GIS Matters

GIS Managers – to assess their competency against the GMCM and GMBOK and plan their professional development

Organizations with GIS Operations – to assess their capability and process maturity against peer agencies and by becoming GMI accredited against the GMBOK via the GCMM

Geospatial professionals – to assess and align their own practices against the GMBOK

GIS management educational programs – to assess and refine their curriculum by becoming GMI accredited against the GMBOK, GMCM & GCMM

GIS management consultants – to assess and refine their practices against the GMBOK, GMCM & GCMM

In the future, GIS managers will use GMI products and services to prepare for achieving a GISP manager designation through GISCI

Reflections on Survey and GIS Survey Profession is property focused

Determines authoritative location

Focus on the exclusive use of tools and methodology

Develop maps that become legal documents

Has a code of ethics

Delivers value to society

Its work is focused on „property‟

What is its „Moral Imperative‟?

What is the focus of the GIS Profession? Create maps from framework and business data as decision support tools

It‟s focus is on stuff that moves around and maybe changes

Time and distance

Relative location

Correlation of phenomena

Relies on tools and methodology

Has a code of ethics

Has a moral imperative

Puts its tools in the hands of people

Delivers value to society
