Over several years exeGesIS undertook a number of analyses of Greenspace provision, comparing the results against the standards in the CCW Greenspace Toolkit. Analysis was undertaken to determine the distance between each postcode and the nearest access point on the nearest Greenspace.
This project involved the collation and evaluation of a suite of ecological datasets, the production of an indicative map of upland habitats, an investigation of upland field data collection options, and capturing all survey data to GIS.
Various datasets relating to the rights of way management in Rhondda Cynnon Taf had fallen out of date, and exeGesIS was asked to assist Rhondda Cynnon Taf County Borough Council with the task of updating and correcting this information, using data from multiple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.
This project involved the survey of several hundred kilometres of walking trails across London, provision of the results in a bespoke asset management system and publishing the results through a map-based, web interface. Using our 'Path Surveyor' application, the survey team captured data on 24,000 features with 15,000 images.
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.
exeGesIS built the River Basin Management Planning System (RBPMS): an integrated MapInfo Professional and web-based mapping tool. This collated, analysed and presented data in order to simplify the consultation process that the EU Water Framework Directive required.
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.
