URISA will be holding a Conference from July 31 – August 2, 2005 at
Cleveland State University, Cleveland, Ohio on the subject of public
participation GIS. Public Participation GIS (PPGIS) refers to a range of
topics raised by the intersection of community interests and GIS technology.
The 4th Annual PPGIS Conference will bring together participants with a rich
diversity of experience.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has demonstrated great value
in empowering citizen organizations and revitalizing communities. The
technology is relatively inexpensive, digital spatial data is increasingly
available and the user interfaces are improving. As its use grows and
evolves, GIS is being used alone or with other information and
communications technologies to improve public knowledge and participation.
Abstracts are being solicited in the following presentation
topics/categories:
PPGIS Practice, Monitoring, and Evaluation
PPGIS Theory/PPGIScience
Data Issues
Organizations and Institutions (Using and being affected by PPGIS)
We are also accepting submissions for a Project Showcase/Poster Session
The abstract submission date is March 11, 2005. Abstracts received by this
date will be considered for the program.
More information and the abstract submission form is available on the URISA
website at:
