exeGesIS Spatial Data Management

Ceredigion County Council are using CAMS to manage their Register of Common Land and Village Greens. Site boundaries are mapped and information held on ownership and the rights exercised across the sites. Because the system is shared with ROW staff, management of the sites can be integrated with access management.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority had a new footpath dedicated by a landowner. ExeGesIS were asked to capture the precise line of the path on the ground using GPS to add the route to their digital Definitive Map, held in their CAMS application.

We demonstrated through spatial processing and statistical analysis that it may be possible to predict wood pasture and parkland quality. This project generated a model that could be used to target survey effort to those sites with the highest predicted quality.

JNCC contracted Exegesis to undertake a review comparing the functionality available in ArcGIS with that in QGIS. Nearly 1,000 items of functionality were reviewed to ascertain whether they occurred in QGIS. We also assessed the required changes to JNCC’s IT infrastructure in order to implement QGIS, as well as the associated costs.

In order to meet Welsh Government requirements for planning application searches Powys County Council required their Section 31(6) deposits to be available as digital data. Exegesis SDM were contracted to create a digital layer and associated scanned deposit documents.

We developed the BASC Green Shoots website, which is designed to encourage their members to contribute to biodiversity conservation by recording shooting areas, habitats and species they see.
 

The definitive map data relating to rights of way in Breconshire and Radnorshire was out of date, and exeGesIS was asked to assist Powys County  Council with two project to update and correct this data for Breconshire and Radnorshire, using data from multiple sources to do so.

Church Heritage Cymru is a digital database of church buildings with integrated GIS. exeGesIS developed the system in 2015 for the Church in Wales in order to capture information on all its churches.

The Wales Active Travel Act required Local Authorities (LAs) to produce a route map of existing safe footpaths and cycle-ways for their designated areas. Data would then become part of the national Active Travel map for Wales focusing resources on linking residential areas with schools, town centres, leisure locations and other walking and cycling destinations. Exegesis staff were tasked with providing a cost-effective web-mapping solution to enable the collation and management of this information.

exeGesIS were contracted to review the available historic and cultural data and options for a website and mobile app, as part of the Long Forest project in Wales. We considered a wide range of possible options for the website and mobile app, including crowdsourced hedgerow mapping and survey data collection and management.
