Primary Researcher: Leah Wasser, Maaike Broos
Description
The Land Analysis Lab is assisting the Centre Region COG and Centre County Planning Office in projecting full buildout for the county. This project is a part of a larger project in which various geospatial technologies are assessed for their value as planning tools.
Technology
This project utilized a combination of the Orton Family Foundations CommunityViz Extension, ArcView 3.x and ArcView 8.
Results
The CommunityViz Extension for ArcView 3.x was used to forecast full potential development for all of the townships in Centre County. View Presentation Given at the RGIS Conference 2003
Site Builder 3d was used to visualize potential development scenarios around the county.
Centre County has an excellent GIS database of information - due to extensive 911 data collection. Planimetric data was provided thanks to this effort.
The Penn State Cooperative Extension, Geospatial Technology Program (GTP) Land Analysis Lab is a research,
cooperative extension, and teaching program in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at The Pennsylvania State University.
We specialize in the use of GIS and related advanced information system technologies for environmental assessment, agriculture,
and land management and planning.
