Community Service
Many universities use GIS to provide important services to their communities. GIS is used to plan community bikeways, to route deliveries of meals-on-wheels for the elderly, and to provide community access to information about toxic materials or hazardous waste sites.

Web-based civic networks are an important first step in creating a societal GIS where citizens have access to a wide range of spatially referenced data about their community. |
