SUMMARY OF THE 1994 NARC 
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM 
(GIS) USER SURVEY





                       SUMMARY OF THE 1994 NARC
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
USER SURVEY


INTRODUCTION

In January, a Geographic Information System (GIS) User Survey was sent
to 182 councils of governinent (COGs) on the National Association of
Regional Councils' (NARC) mailing list.  In subsequent months, two
follow-up mailings were made to non-responding agencies.  The survey
was an initial effort by NARC's GIS Technical Network to get a better
understanding of the use of GIS by COGs, and the types of data bases
being used and maintained.  The survey was not intended to provide a
complete description of each agency's GIS and their applications, but
was intentionally kept short to obtain a higher response rate and to
provide a general overview of GIS use by councils of government.  A
copy of the survey instrument can be found in Appendix A.

RESPONSE RATE

Following the initial January mailout of the survey to the 182
agencies, a total of 43 or 23.6 percent responded.  A second mailing
was sent to non-responding agencies in February, increasing the
response rate to 53.2 percent (97 agencies).  As part of NARC's effort
to establish a GIS Technical Network, a third mailing to non-
responding agencies was made in early March.  This final mailing
yielded an additional 18 responses, for a total of 114 agencies
responding to the survey, or a response rate of 62.6 percent.

A list of the responding agencies, with a GIS contact person's name
and address, is contained in Appendix B.

STATUS OF GIS USE (QUESTION 1)

Almost 60 percent of the COGs responding have had a GIS in operation
for more than one year, while over one-fifth of the COGs have had a
GIS in operation for more than three years.  Sixteen agencies (14
percent) responded that they were gathering information about GIS. 
Table I provides a breakdown of responses to Question 1: "Which of the
following best describes your agency regarding the use of a GIS?"

SOFTWARE/HARDWARE (QUESTION 2)

Ninety-six agencies indicated that they used at least one GIS software
package.  Forty-four agencies listed two or more packages.  A total of
17 different packages were listed as in use.  The top three software
packages listed were: Arc/Info - PC Arc/Info (55 users), Atlas GIS (25
users), and MapInfo (18 users).  Table 2 provides a breakdown of the
number of users for each package.

Fifty-eight agencies indicated that they were using at least one
Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) package in conjunction
with their GIS.  Eleven agencies listed two RDBMSs.  A total of 17
different RDBMS packages were listed, with various versions of DBase
listed by the most agencies (29 users).  Table 3 provides a breakdown
of the number of users for each package.

Ten different general categories of hardware platforms were listed by
95 agencies responding.  Twenty-three agencies listed two different
platforms.  PCs were listed the most often (75 users), followed by SUN
workstations (27 users).  Table 4 provides a breakdown of listed
hardware platforms.

DIGITAL DATA BASES (QUESTION 3)

Of the 81 agencies responding, an average of just over nine data bases
were listed in response to Question 3, "Please complete the following
table for the digital data bases used and/or maintained by your
agency." Fifty percent of the agencies listed five or fewer data
bases.  The average number of data bases listed as primary and
secondary were the same, just over four per agency.  Just over 30
percent of the agencies responding indicated that they did not
maintain digital data bases created from primary data (data gathered
by their agency).  An equal number of agencies (14 percent) indicated
they maintained one or two digital data bases from primary source
data.  Thirty percent of the responding agencies indicated they used
one digital data base obtained from some other agency.  Another 18
percent indicated using two data bases from secondary sources.

                                   7

The data bases listed were catagorized into 25 different groups,
including a miscellaneous category.  Table 5 contains a list of the 25
categories of data bases, with the number of agencies indicating they
use or maintain digital data bases.  The table further indicates
whether the data bases are primary, secondary, both primary and
secondary, or the source was not specified.

Many of the agencies that listed multiple types of data bases used or
maintained also indicated varying measures of Vocational accuracy. 
Table 6 presents the number of agencies by general categories of the
accuracy of their data bases.  When more than one measure of accuracy
was given for multiple data bases, the predominant level of accuracy
is reported.  Most councils of government use and maintain 'regional
scale" digital data bases with locational accuracies of 100 feet or
more (47 percent).  Very few agencies indicated having data bases with
locational accuracies of less than ten feet.  Predominant accuracy
levels for each agency are provided in Appendix D.

GEOGRAPHIC REFERENCE SYSTEM (QUESTION 4)

While most agencies used one reference system for their data bases, 17
of the 92 agencies responding to Question 4, "What geographic
reference system are you using?", indicated more than one system was
in use at their agency.  State Plane Coordinate systems were listed by
57 of the 92 agencies responding.  Thirty-six agencies use
latitude/Longitude, and sixteen agencies listed UTM.  Appendix D
contains the geographic reference system used by each agency.

FORMAL STANDARDS AND DATA DICTIONARIES (QUESTIONS 5 and 6)

Forty percent of the agencies indicated formal standards are used in
developing and maintaining their data bases.  Most agencies having
standards indicated they are willing to share their standards with
other agencies.  Over half (55 percent) of the responding agencies
indicated data dictionaries existed for their data bases.

AVAILABILITY OF DATA BASES TO OTHER AGENCIES (QUESTION 7)

A variety of responses were provided to Question 7, "How available
and/or accessible are the data bases to outside agencies?" Table 7
provides a breakdown of the responses to this question.  The most
often provided response was that their data were "public domain" (25
percent), followed by II percent of the agencies indicating their data
was free to other public agencies.
