dc.description.abstract | Fragmented management by New Zealand's environmental agencies has resulted in a dispersed information resource. Some inter-agency coordination exists and appears to be increasing. This collaboration presents an opportunity for local authorities to act as information brokers in communicating the concept of environmental interconnectedness. Internet Geographic Information Systems (IGIS) is one tool that can be used towards disseminating the message of environmental interconnectedness, and there are both costs and benefits to do so. A broadened cost-benefit analysis provides a rigorous yet more inclusive approach to assessment. Once a rationale for IGIS has been established, local authorities can turn their attention to the practicalities of public access. An assessment of audience make-up and needs is an important consideration towards harnessing the potential of this tool. Local authority adoption of IGIS poses challenges of a coordinative, economic and socio-cultural nature. Meeting these challenges however is an expression of proactivity and a step towards truly seamless government service. | en |
