1. Making it happen: The GIS model presentation

2. GIS systems allow for the collection, presentation and analysis of spatial data During the study, ArcGIS will be used to process spatial data obtained from stakeholders and project partners Presenting the data graphically aids in engaging stakeholders in participatory exercises Analysis of collected data allows for modeling future scenarios ArcGIS format output will largely be compatible with stakeholder systems Introduction

3. A large amount of “base data” is required. This includes: ● Ordnance Survey Maps ● Boundary information ● Land Cover types ● Elevation ● Hydrology ● Soil data ● Habitats The following slides demonstrate examples of existing data for the Frome catchment area Introduction: The Data

4. A number of boundary data sets are available to help group stakeholders into geographic units Approximately 2/3 of the catchment is in the West Dorset district, with 1/3 in Purbeck district. Boundary Data

5. There are approximately 65 parishes that are mostly within the Frome catchment Surveying members of individual Parishes ensures good coverage of catchment area Parish demographic information can aid with analysis Parish Boundaries

6. A number of groups are responsible for the management of a large area of land in the catchment area Land Owners / Managers

7. The catchment contains most types of land designations. Designated Areas

8. Elevation data is required for modelling hydrology and aesthetic values Terrain

9. Produced by Biodiversity South West (www.biodiversitysouthwest.org.uk), the nature map provides an overview of target habitat areas to maintain and expand. The nature map will be used as a future scenario in the model. Nature Map

10. BAP habitat data can overlap due to classification definitions and quality of the source data. BAP data provided by Natural England BAP Priority Habitats

11. The CORINE Land Classification map provides a land cover map of 44 different land classification types at the start of the new millenium. Corine data provided by The European Environment Agency {Insert total area figures for each classification type here} Corine Land Cover Classifications

12. An online mapping application is in development using the Google Maps API. This allows for the public to easily record important locations, which are then saved to a database. This data can then be imported into ArcGIS for analysis. Online Mapping Application

13. The model combines stakeholder data with existing spatial data The results are displayed in an easy to interpret graphical format By adjusting the input values, the model can predict the outcome of possible scenarios The target nature areas from the Nature Map provide one potential future scenario The Model

14. Value data obtained from the mapping exercise and google maps online application can be used in hotspot analysis Hotspot analysis shows areas of importance or value Alessa et al, 2008 The Model

15. Hotspot data can be presented in different ways depending on requirements Troy & wilson, 2006 Black & Liljeblad, 2006 The Model

16. A large amount of data is already available to the project More data is required for the best possible results from the model The data required depends on the desired stakeholder outcomes …What would you like the project to achieve? Final Thoughts
