Public Participation GIS in Municipal Services...
The advancement of municipal services in any community requires effective collaboration between the public and the service providers from
the public and private sectors. The ability to utilize these technologies in an easy fashion is a key factor for an effective partnership between the public and private sectors. Combining GIS technologies with the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technologies provides technologies such as the “talking directions” to a specific address on a map, technologies that can be found in most modern high end cars. The technology can also identify the location on a map of a car, or even a child, as some of the current mobile telephones offer.
