Maps and GIS in Hertfordshire County Council Much of the data within Hertfordshire includes a location. Maps and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) can help display and analyse it. Maps can add value by making data easier to understand, leading to better-informed decision making. There are two online, interactive mapping / GIS services; Webmaps and Webmaps-extra. Webmaps shows locations on hertsdirect for everyone, including the public. Webmaps-extra has more tools for staff and partners to work with maps. You can view and print a map, find an address using a gazetteer, or save a map as an image to include in a document. HCC has a valuable resource in maps and geographic data supplied by Ordnance Survey in particular. OS mapping is protected by Crown copyright and used for official business purposes by Hertfordshire County Council under licence. You can find Webmaps-extra and a wealth of supporting information on Connect. Look for Maps and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the A-Z. http://connect.hertscc.gov.uk/connect/knowledge/maps/?view=connect
The GIS team in the Community Information Unit develops and manages these services and also provides expert advice and assistance on maps and GIS, including a bespoke mapping service and printed maps up to A0 size.
GIS in UK Government In November 2008 Communities and Local Government published Place matters: the Location Strategy for the United Kingdom. “If we can understand more about the nature of place, where events happen, and the impacts on the people and assets at that location, we can plan better, manage risk better and use our resources better. This will increase the success rate for new initiatives, assist in the reduction of the potential for future problems and give tangible financial benefits. The objective of the Location Strategy for the United Kingdom is to maximise the value to the public, government, UK business and industry of geographic information. It will provide a consistent framework to assist national, regional and local initiatives and service delivery.” http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/communities/locationstrategy
