Cambria Community Services District, San
Luis Obispo County
Country: USA |
Project
name: Cambria Water ordinance support
Funding source: Cambria Community Services District (CCSD),
San Luis Obispo County, California.
Year: 1999-2000
Description: Conversion of parcel boundary information and
linking of information to assessor's real data and the development
of several queries to support in court defense of the District's
water allocation policies. This involved the compilation,
integration, and format conversion of data from CAD files,
parcel data that originally resided on a legacy pick operating
system and information from the country Assessor's Office.
This information was integrated into an initial database
framework that was used to support the District's Court
argument, and has since served as the basic foundation for
the development of other GIS components.
In a second subproject
2000-2001, Geobits worked with the District's engineers
to refine the original parcel base to a greater level of
spatial accuracy. This was done by conducting global positioning
system (GPS) data collection and the rectification of the
parcel base.

within the market analysis and land acquisition functions
of the company. Information was compiled from many different
sources and integrated geographically for analysis of optimum
market housing products as well as the identification and
assessment of various land acquisition strategies. The system
has been structured to support extension and refinements
of the basic data and GIS software tools to support other
parts of the company's operations .

City
of Valencia, CA
Country: USA |
Project
name: GIS Visualization aid analysis
Funding source: City of Valencia , California
Year: 1999
Description: Global Geobits, Inc. team supported Psomas'
engineering and land planning department in conducting a
visual impact analysis for a major industrial/commercial
development project in Valencia, California. This analysis
involved the compilation of contextual, digital elevation
model from the USGS and the integration of that information
with more detailed site survey information for both existing
conditions as well as planned landscape alterations. This
information was used to generate before and after topographic
alteration and building massing conditions, which provided
input to the development of an environmental impact statement
to explain the future visual impact of the project. This
information was used to develop a series of visualization
projects in both digital and hard copy display formats.

University
of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
Country: USA |
Project
name: University of Southern California (USC) and the World
Exposition. .Funding source: University of Southern California
(USC)
Year: 1999-2000
Description: Global Geobits, Inc. supported USG in the development
of an electronic globe as a component of USC and the world
exposition. One of the prime objectives of the exhibition
was to showcase the linkages between USC and the global
community at a variety of levels. The electronic globe allowed
the linking of faculty, students, and alumni, to their various
engagements around the world, and the development of spatial
and tabular queries tools and map visualization to highlight
these connections. This web-enabled application allows users
to locate specific individuals and to display their locations
one map anywhere in the world, or to zoom to a specific
location on the globe and query about USC affiliations within
this particular place.

Project
name: Geographic information infrastructure utility analysis
Funding Source: The Superintnedencia de aguas, La Paz
Year: 1999
The Superintendence is the organization responsible for
managing all water utilities and related concessionaries
within the Country of Bolivia. The project was intended
to demonstrate the application of GIS technology to the
management of publicly owned facilities, and for the tracking
and valuation of assets that are managed by private concessionaires.
An overall policy direction in Bolivia is to move these
utilities to privatization, and the GIS project was effective
in demonstrating the effective management of the Superintendence’s
role in both public and privatized context.
Activities included Consultation and GIS applications development.

Data
Conversion for Itoshima project
Country : Japan (Itoshima)
Funding source:
Geographic Planning Collaborative GPC, USA
Year:1999
Description: Global Geobits, Inc. supported the development
of an environmental analysis for the itoshima peninsula
near Fukouka, Japan. The Fukouka National University is
exploring opportunities for moving the institution to a
location that can accommodate the current and future growth.
The nearby peninsula of Itoshima companies a picturesque
and environmentally sensitive setting that can provide an
ideal future location for the university. The Geobits team
developed series of development opportunity and constraint
data and models, which were further, analyzed to developed
land capability and suitability analysis. This information
was used to both develop an overall conceptual master plan
for the new university, and the development of several energy
and environmental related research projects that were being
carried out by the university. It is expected that this
detailed and comprehensive database for the peninsula be
used beyond the planning phase of the project to support
more detailed site analysis and campus design activities
if the University decides to move to that location.
Activities included :Consultation, Data conversion from
hardcopy maps , Digital mapping, GIS Database development.
