„ Formal GIS Training for Technical Staff, for various divisions that will utilize GIS for <br /> data editing and advanced analysis . <br /> KtLand and Resource Management <br /> GIS software is often used for land management, economic growth , facilities planning, and <br /> infrastructure/asset management . GIs can also provide the framework for the analysis of <br /> natural resources . The Cooperative Extension and Soil and Water District can use GIS to <br /> perform typical land and resource management analysis tasks such as land use analysis , soil <br /> and water conditions monitoring , storm water and environmental risk mitigation and <br /> management, and site location analyses . <br /> Additional opportunities exist for the Telecommunications and Buildings and Grounds <br /> y divisions for the utilization of GIS for mapping and analysis of County assets and infrastructure; <br /> at present, the Telecommunications Division utilizes ArcGIS , in conjunction with AutoCAD , for <br /> mapping telecommunications infrastructure , including the County ' s fiber optic cable <br /> backbone . Of particular value to the Telecommunications Division , is the ability to view road <br /> right-of-way ( ROW) and underground utilities data in conjunction with existing network <br /> infrastructure ; it is expected that as the County moves forward with its GIS implementation , <br /> additional data sharing opportunities will enable the Division to have access to this data . <br /> It will be important to address GIS opportunities for land and resources management as GIS <br /> technology continues to be strategically implemented within Indian River County . GIS will <br /> create new avenues for grants, research , and new task specific roles such as protecting <br /> resources , identifying resources at risk , land use conflicts, and protection/buffering of <br /> environmentally sensitive areas throughout Indian River County . <br /> Geo-spatial analysis and general mapping using parcel (cadastral ) data will benefit the <br /> Department of General Services in terms of assessing future land use issues . It is strongly <br /> recommended that Tier 2 and Tier 3 GIS applications be utilized for tasks that involve land <br /> and resource management tasks (see the Enterprise- Wide Applications section of this <br /> chapter for more information on application tiers) . This will allow the Department to perform <br /> sophisticated analyses and mapping in support of its divisions ' diverse functions . <br /> The Department of General Services should utilize GIS to monitor and analyze the location <br /> and characteristics of natural resources including land use, vegetation , streams , water <br /> bodies, etc . , in relation to cadastral or parcel information . Digital orthophotography should <br /> be available to staff for land and resource management tasks . GIS should be used for the <br /> following land and resources management tasks : <br /> • Land classification and land use mapping <br /> • Storm water management <br /> • Managing habitat, environmentally-sensitive areas, and agricultural areas <br /> • Monitoring water quality and viewing watersheds <br /> • Monitoring agriculture and farming operations <br /> • Managing County-owned property and corresponding grounds <br /> • Telecommunications infrastructure mapping , design , and analysis <br /> a Project-based mapping and analysis <br /> • Linking as-built drawings to GIS data <br /> • Statistical analysis for budgetary preparations <br /> 119 <br /> GIS Needs Assessment and Implementation Plan Chapter 1 - Departmental GIS Needs Assessment <br />
