Exegesis Spatial Data Management

Various datasets relating to the rights of way management in Rhondda Cynnon Taf had fallen out of date, and exeGesIS was asked to assist Rhondda Cynnon Taf County Borough Council with the task of updating and correcting this information, using data from multiple sources to do so.

exeGesIS built comprehensive and consistent greenspace datasets. This dataset was used to assess whether greenspace targets were met. Network analysis techniques were employed to ensure the shortest walking distances from every postcode area, to the nearest greenspace could be identified and measured.

exeGesIS were commissioned to produce a digital map of Greenspace for East Lothian, Midlothian and Aberdeenshire County Councils. MasterMap data were classified to a standard land use classification using attributes and aerial photograph interpretation. These data were provided as a single Greenspace dataset.

We collated and processed existing digital information to determine the sustainability of Motorised Recreational Vehicle routes. 'Noise' and 'tranquillity' maps were created for the Cambrian Mountains region. Several hundred kilometres of routes and roads were surveyed to record the physical robustness and condition of vehicular routes.

The MESH project gathered large amounts of marine habitat data from a number of European partners. These were standardised to produce a unified seabed habitat map using the best data available for each area. We produced web mapping for this project using open source Mapserver software.
