Chapter 2 Surveying the extent of PPGIS practice in the United States David S. Sawicki and David Randall Peterman 2.1 INTRODUCTION Many of the key themes in PPGIS research revolve around knowing who produces and who consumes small area GIS products. Examples include the multiple ways in which PPGIS are being designed and implemented, and identifying community information needs and how PPGIS might contribute to those needs. However, many of the questions posed are difficult to answer because of a lack of comprehensive inventories of either PPGIS providers or consumers. Two exceptions are Craig’s inventory of consumers (community groups) in the Twin Cities (Sawicki and Craig 1996) and the Urban Institute’s list of 30 citywide neighbourhood data providers (Urban Institute 1996). Neither is comprehensive, nor were they meant to be. They do provide a start, however. In this chapter, we provide a definition of PPGIS and report on results of a search for PPGIS providers (see Table 2.1). Research interest on the use of GIS as a tool for enhancing public policy activities by community groups has been in evidence for a number of years. As part of the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis’s Project Varenius, a suggestion was made to undertake an inventory of PPGIS activities. The group decided that its primary concern was to learn from those using GIS and Information Technology (IT) to support community initiatives. Our original intent was to produce a comprehensive inventory of PPGIS groups throughout the United States. We quickly realized that it was not a reasonable goal, in part because advancing technology is making PPGIS activity ever more widespread, and in part because delineating PPGIS activity within the universe of GIS was not a simple task. The concepts we used to generate an inventory of PPGIS organizations are reflected in the following introductory statement to the survey instrument: The Public Participation GIS effort of the National Center for Geo-graphic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) requests your assistance in identifying significant information technology projects providing © 2002 Taylor & Francis Table 2.1 PPGIS suppliers contacted in fall 1998 survey Organization Host organization City State Phone URL e-mail Office of Community City of Birmingham Birmingham AL Development Morrison Institute Arizona State Phoenix AZ University Urban Data Centre Arizona State Phoenix AZ University Los Angeles Neighbourhood Los Angeles CA Neighbourhood Knowledge Early warning Los Angeles System (LANEWS) Bay Area Shared San CA Information Franscisco Consortium (BASIC) San Diego Association San Diego CA of Governments (SANDAG) Urban Strategies Oakland CA Council GreenInfo Network San CA Francisco ESRI Conservation Pro- Environmental Redlands CA gramme-Conserva- Systems Research tion GIS Consortium Institute (ESRI) Piton Foundation Denver CO City Room (aka New Institution for New Haven CT Haven On-Line) Social and Policy Studies, Yale University © 2002 Taylor & Francis 205-254-2309 480-965-4525 602-965-3046 619-595-5300 510-893-2404 415-979-0343 909-793-2853 303-825-6246 www.asu.edu/copp/morrison www.asu.edu/xed/urbandata nkla.sppsr.ucla.edu www.basic.org www.sandag.cog.ca.us www.greeninfo.org www.esri.com www.piton.org webmaster@sandag.cog.ca.us info@greeninfo.org ecp@lists.desktop.org eberman@piton.org Public Access The Council on Washington DC Network Directory Library and Information Resources (CLIR) The Right-to-Know Washington DC Network (RTK NET) Food Research and Washington DC Action Center DC Agenda Project Federal City Washington DC Council Poverty and Race Washington DC Research Action Council GIS and Software Federal Emergency Washington DC Development Team, Management Development and Agency Implementation Branch, Engineering Division, Informa-tion Technology Services Directorate Environmental Washington DC Projection Agency Community Office of Minority Washington DC Networks Health; Federal Dept. of Health and Human Services The Center for Civic Washington DC Networking Community Planning Department of Washington DC and Development Housing and Urban Development 202-939-4750 202-234-8494 202-986-2200 202-223-2598 202-387-9887 202-646-3071 202-362-3831 www.clir.org/pand/ info@clir.org pandhome.htm rtk.net webmaster@rtk.net www.dcagenda.org/index.htm www.prrac.org info@prrac.org www.povertyandrace.org www.epa.gov/enviro www.hhs.gov/progorg/ophs/ omh/community/htm www.civicnet.org/index.html webmaster@civicnet.org www.HUD.gov/cpd/ 2020soft.html © 2002 Taylor & Francis Table 2.1 (Continued) Organization Host organization City State Phone URL e-mail Jacksonville Jacksonville FL Community Council Incorporated Overtown Miami-Dade Miami FL Neighbourhood Community Partnerships College Center for Economic University of South Tampa FL Development Florida Research Office of Research Florida Department Miami FL and Planning of Children and Families, District 11 Office of Data and The Atlanta Project Atlanta GA Policy Analysis (TAP) (DAPA) Hawaii Community Honolulu HI Services Council Center for Chicago IL Neighbourhood Technology Chicago Area University of Chicago IL Geographic Illinois at Chicago Information Study (CAGIS) East St. Louis Action Champaign IL Research Project (ESLARP) 904-396-3052 813-905-5854 404-206-5015 808-521-3861 773-278-4800 312-996-5274 217-265-0202 www.jcci.org www.coba.usf.edu/ centers/cedr www.state.fl.us/cf_web/ district11 www2.hawaii.edu/~cssdata www.cnt.org www.cagis.uic.edu www.imlab.uiuc.edu/eslarp info@cnt.org httpadm@cagis.uic.edu © 2002 Taylor & Francis Polis Centre Indiana University- Indianapolis IN Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) Boston Persistent Boston Foundation Boston MA Poverty Project Coalition for Low- Baltimore MD Income Community Development Michigan Metropolitan Center for Urban Detroit MI Information Center Studies, Wayne (MIMIC) State University Automated John R.
