Wicked Problems

Geospatial technologies leveraged

Simply put: Difficult to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements

Every wicked problem is essentially unique No well-described set of potential solutions Every implemented solution has

consequenceso Every wicked problem can be considered a

symptom of another problem Examples of Wicked Problems: Earth, Air,

Fire, Water, Health, Education, Safety, Trans

The Geospatial Approach to Wicked Problems

Geospatial technologies leveraged

By "inspecting 'wicked problems' with geospatial goggles," complexities and interdependencies can be exposed, better defined, dissected, better managed through the geospatial approach and reassembled for overall improvements

The Geospatial Approach to Wicked Problems

Geospatial technologies leveraged

Content of the human mind can be classified into 5 categories: Data: raw source content Information: data that are processed to be

useful; provides answers to "who", "what", "where", and "when" questions

Knowledge: application of data and information; answers "how" questions

Understanding: appreciation of "why“ Wisdom: evaluated understanding

The Geospatial Approach to GEORGIA’s Wicked Problems

Georgia Geospatial Advisory Council (GGAC): Briefingso The GGAC 2010 Georgia Geospatial Audit: Status Report

and Recommendations “is by far one of the best reports I have received. Thank you and the Council for all of the hard work.” – Senator Carter

o  “I see a lot of purpose in what’s being proposed here. What will be key is applying geospatial technologies and resources to improving Georgia’s water and transportation issues.” – Senator Tolleson

Georgia Geospatial Audit: Status Report & Recommendations: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2009_10/sum/hb169.htm

O.C.G.A § 12-5-9 (b)(3) “The council shall audit Georgia’s geospatial capabilities at county, regional, and state levels. The audit shall contain a complete status update and recommendations for utilizing the geospatial capabilities in Georgia to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency notification requirements, recommendations for moving forward to achieve governmental data inter-operability and enhanced delivery of services to Georgia citizens through the geospatial approach, and any other information determined by the council to be necessary for the advancement of geospatial technology.”

H.B. 169 Catalyst (Geographic Challenge)

Original objective: Provide accurate Flood Insurance Rate Map information to property owners

2 issues: Accuracy of data + inequitable ability to notify citizenso Requires the below input:

Buildings, building addresses or parcel boundaries (that fall within or intersect) accurate floodplain boundaries =

properties potentially impacted by flood insurance rates

2010 LiDAR acquisition in Towns County resulted in over 300 properties being removed from floodplain boundaries (red squares above) saving >$1M over 10 yrs.

Inequitable Elevation Data Across the State

17

Combined with existing data, the State is currently ~30% covered by high-resolution elevation data 18,300 mi2), with ~59,500 mi2

remaining.

Cost of Incomplete & Inaccurate Data

“Insurance Commissioner John W. Oxendine said damage from flooding across north Georgia that began on

September 18, 2009 reached an estimated $500 million in losses,

most of that amount uninsured.”

H.B. 169 Catalyst (Geographic Challenge)

Original objective: Provide accurate Flood Insurance Rate Map information to property owners

FINDINGS: the State of Georgia is not prepared to handle the original intent of the policy: provide accurate information to property owners based

on proximity to floodplains.

Silos of Geospatial Excellence in GA

Geospatial technologies leveraged

BLLIP, Georgia’s GIS properties’ database, generated $43 million in revenue by selling surplus property and saved more than $8.8M through lease renegotiation and/or consolidation.SelectGeorgia (GIS-driven web tool) has resulted in a 75% reduction in software maintenance + 70% reduction in maintenance labor. Used to support projects producing >$5.6 billion in new capital investment and the creation of >27,500 new jobs

GGAC Status Report & Recommendations

Formalize a geospatial advisory council to the General Assembly or state governmental entity ($0*)o H.B. 369 passed both sides unanimously in 2012, but no

champion to take it to the floor Establish Georgia Geospatial Information Office [Pending] Execute statewide master agreement(s) for

geospatial software/services/resources ($0) Develop a digital, statewide parcel GIS database (i.e.,

“property” database) Develop a current (2009 or more current), high-

resolution, statewide elevation GIS database

Opportunities

29

Ops: Change the conversation: No longer about consolidation efforts to reduce expenses (server hardware or energy costs), but how to establish a proper foundation for optimizing operations (ex., cloud-based)

Biz Needs: Tie GIS to issues .. Geosolutions! Develop critical statewide geospatial

databases not currently available for Georgia, including land parcels, addresses, high-resolution elevation, water supplies, utilities, inland bathymetry …

Page 30: Ra-Ra Moment

Geospatial capabilities for a BEST MANAGED Georgia

Opportunities

Generate information to support decision-makers and achieve state objectives

Develop geospatial standards Build web mapping services; shared

geospatial application services Geospatial practitioners work together (ex.,

GIS work with surveyors re: digital submittal rqmts + Clerk of Courts e-filing)

Opportunities

32

Improve citizen access to data, coordinate multiple datasets and spatially enable tools for consuming data

Use cloud-based models for service deliveryo Coordinate with peer organizations and

consultants for opportunities Evaluate scalability, performance, security

and portability of cloud service models Measure benefits, costs, risks

Overview of GIS in GA1999 GTA created and assumed responsibility for GIS as the

Information Technology Policy Council (ITPC) is absorbed into GTA1996 GIS Clearinghouse and GIS Coordinating Committee established

under the leadership of the ITPC1989 DCA and DNR establish a joint GIS information sharing project

Planning Act enacted; DCA created; includes maps as an element
