Tools for the electronic age
Johnston, B.
Tools for the electronic age - 2003 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1536) 12 September 2003, 15-16(2) .
Looks at the ever-increasing application of GIS technology to planning services in the context of the government's e-government demand that all local authority services should be able to deliver 100% of their services electronically by 2005. Examines efforts by the GIS producers to meet the challenge of creating inter-operable systems, which can integrate data from different sources and systems and on developing public interfaces to the systems. Examines in detail a recent review carried out by Peter Pendleton and Associates, which assessed 371 local authority planning websites in terms of their public interest and usability. Describes examples of electronic planning service delivery such as online application submissions and stresses the importance of understanding users' needs. Concludes that the majority of planning authorities will meet their 2005 etargets.
