Try www.GISdevelopment.net. It has many case studies of usage of GIS in developing word. Ravi On September 16, 2004 Gunter Zeug [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Two years ago I was involved in the development of a Water ressource management system based on GIS technology. This was carried out for a small NGO, which was interested in seeing if GIS could be a useful tool for their work. Since then I am interested in the existing and potential use of GIS by NGOs (mostly in the developing world). I would like to know how geo-technology and geo-data are used or could be used to support their work. Do you already use GIS/geo-data within your projects? Did you already have good or bad experiences? Would you like to use GIS but do not know how? What kind of software do you use? Free tools, enterprise systems? Where do you get your input data from? Commercial data, freely available, field surveys? After first searches in the internet I found that there are a few things going on in the field of water management, but I think there are many more possible applications, starting with project planning, natural resource and wildlife management, conservancy, health services Do you know any journals/online publications/links where the topic of GIS use by NGOs is dealt with? ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, a Non-Profit Organization*** To post a message, send it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED].
