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.
exeGesIS provided data collation, analysis and reporting services for a national project researching access to water-based recreation facilities across the UK. Water resource datasets were compiled and were subjected to network analysis to determine the accessibility of water resources.
exeGesIS were contracted by Plantlife Cymru to help with the identification of computer based methods and techniques suitable for defining and mapping Important Plant Area (IPA) boundaries. We demonstrated how spatial analysis techniques can be used to define IPA boundaries and how areas of potential IPA expansion can be modelled and visualised using GIS.
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.
exeGesIS produced a set of 20 management plans for some of Northern Ireland's top sites for the National Trust. This was done through a series of workshops with wardening staff. The final plans were handed over in CMS, giving the managers a tool to record planned activities and data collected. CMS training was also provided.
The Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre Partnership wanted to mobilise biodiversity information and encourage greater participation in wildlife recording. An IT development plan was required before a full bid could be made to the Heritage Grants Programme. This involved liaising with contributors and the production of a costed plan.
We facilitated a management planning workshop to prepare a CMS plan for the Topla Landscape Park. Topla is a small alpine valley in northern Slovenia and has many SAC and SPA features including beech forests, capercaillie, black grouse and pygmy owls.
