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 produced an updated map of ancient woodland in Wales . Woodlands were mapped according to forest type determined from aerial photographs. The resulting dataset was more compatible with other rural land-use datasets, such as the agricultural Integrated Administration and Control System.
Devon County Council asked exeGesIS to calculate the gradients along their Rights of Way network. This would inform decisions about accessibility and the availability of the network for different users, and particularly targeting resources in order to improve accessibility.
exeGesIS developed data input and verification software that could be run from within the user's standard GIS interface. This ensured that English Nature's habitat inventories could be amalgamated quickly and efficiently, and standardised the data attributes. Support and training for the system was provided by exeGesIS.
