Land Information System

An important consideration in developing a temporal component for spatial information systems lies in determining which data sets are worthy of archiving and which ones need not be retained after their currency ceases. For many natural resource and socio-economic based systems (often termed Geographical Information Systems), the choice is usually clear since certain historical data will usually be needed as the basis for longitudinal analysis. However in the case of parcel-based Land Information Systems (LIS) established for administrative purposes, the answer is not always so obvious. This is compounded by the difficulty in assessing what the likely value of non-current data, within this latter type of system, may be in the years to come and who the potential users might be. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the selection criteria which professional archivists use in making such decisions and to examine the application of these procedures in the context of LIS.

The tithe files contain a large amount of agricultural production data, but have not been much used for econometric analysis. The data is the result of averaging and estimating, thus some doubt has been cast on its accuracy. This article shows that for eight counties in the southwest of England, some data from the tithe files is reasonably reliable and was recorded in a consistent manner. The article demonstrates how tithe files and other data can be geocoded with spatial information so that an analysis using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) may be performed. Three tests are carried out, showing that pastoral rents followed a ‘distance decay’ model; that reported arable yields were consistent with exogenous variables; and that arable rents were set with economic variables in mind.

Support Tools

Impact Assessment (AI) is getting over its "teething problems" of the early 1990s, and is now trying to define, consolidate and spread best practice. It has been suggested that computer technologies like Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and/or decision-support tools like Expert Systems (ES) can play an important part in this process, and in a series of two articles we critically review these technologies, their use and their potential — and drawbacks — for IA. This first article is devoted to GIS, powerful packages that can handle spatial information quite efficiently in map form, but whose analytical capabilities are rather limited and would benefit from being articulated with other tools to make their use more friendly and efficient. The proposition underlying these articles is that these three areas (IA, GIS and ES), if properly organised, are potentially complementary and there can be mutual benefits if they are brought together. We concentrate on GIS first, ES will be discussed in the next paper.

Information Systems Use

The paper considers the problematic issues of the geographical information systems (GIS) use in the sociohygienic monitoring (SHM). We analyzed scientific and practical publications on this subject that are freely available on the largest Russian information portal of scientific electronic library eLIBRARY.RU during 2014- 2018, which allowed us to formulate the principles of organization and requirements for effective operation of geographic and information systems in the socio-hygienic monitoring. An analysis of the implementation of these principles at the present stage of development for the socio-hygienic monitoring system is presented, the results of which were used in formulating priority tasks in the area of geographic and information technology implementation into socio-hygienic monitoring and risk-based planning of control and supervisory measures: to determine the necessary level of detail and an information list depicted on electronic maps for the implementation of risk-based control planning; to provide organizational and regulatory and methodological support for the hierarchical principle of GIS within Rospotrebnadzor operating on a single software product of domestic developers for organizations and institutions; to work out the need to combine GIS with similar systems of other departments involved in the data collection of social and hygienic monitoring (Rosstat, Roshydromet, Rosprirodnadzor, Ministry of Health, etc.) to enable automated data export and import; to solve staffing issues to ensure customization and subsequent GIS operation; to provide budget funding for the purchase of licensed software products for GIS in SHM, preferably of Russian developers.
