Levels of Use of a GIS

Levels of Use of a GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Area of Science:

Environmental science
Public health
Recreation management

Background:

Canada's national parks are globally recognized but often inaccessible to individuals with disabilities.
Legislation is driving the development of new park design and management standards.

Purpose of the Study:

To inform federal park accessibility standards for all visitors.
Identify international standards, challenges faced by disabled visitors, and recommend specific standards for national parks.

Main Methods:

A three-phase approach including a scoping review of existing standards.
Objective audits of park trails and features in six parks across Canada.
Mobile interviews with 48 participants and a Delphi consensus process to prioritize recommendations.

Main Results:

Anticipated identification of gaps in current accessibility standards for diverse needs.
Existing standards may be insufficient for ensuring equitable access to all park amenities and experiences.
Potential need for supplementary guidelines and best practices for complex accessibility scenarios.

Conclusions:

Participatory and mixed-methods approaches will yield insights for inclusive park standards.
Findings will support the development and enhancement of park accessibility standards across all government levels.
