Regional National Map Project - January 2004

Arkansas Floods - March 2002

The rains of March 2002 have left an aftermath of flooded farmlands, lost crops, and rivers cresting at monumental heights. Arkansas received exactly 10 inches of rain for the month of March, making it the third wettest March on record since 1880. The recent floods have given the Arkansas Geographic Information Office (AGIO) a good example of one of the many uses of geographic information systems (GIS) technologies.

Arkansas I-Teams - 2002

The State Land Information Board tasked the Arkansas Geographic Information Office to coordinate I-Teams in the state of Arkansas. Arkansas I-Teams are designed to focus on the major framework data layers. Reports for each of the major framework data layers focus on the status, further development of and cost of each spatial data investment. The Arkansas I-Team plan is modeled after the Federal Office of Management and Budget Federal I-Team initiative.

Mapping Arkansas' Information Network (MAIN) - 2000

The Department of Information Systems launched a project to map the public information networks in Arkansas and their end points. This effective visualization tool will aid network planners, educational planners, and distance learning planners in deploying these resources. Equally important, the results will serve as a powerful economic development resource for attracting knowledge-based companies. These companies, unlike their manufacturing and industrial cousins, require locations and facilities near information transportation.

Arkansas GIS Audit - 1999

The State Geographic Information Office conducted statewide Framework Data Survey of GIS users in the state. The survey began in January of 2000 and was completed in August of 2000. The purpose of the survey was to find out who creates, updates, uses, and distributes digital geographic data. It also attempts to ascertain what kind of software is currently being used and whether GIS data is being shared. Roughly 1,550 individuals and/or organizations were contacted. The audit could be completed via the World Wide Web or by the hardcopy provided. In all, 560 responses were received, compiled and analyzed.
