Avery, MClements, RHarrison, GHughey, KennethThompson, M2009-03-201997-101173-8405https://hdl.handle.net/10182/925The Walkway Management System (WMS) uses geographic information system (GIS) software to calculate an estimate for the level of maintenance required for walkway segments. It then assists the user in prioritising the maintenance on segments of the walkway that require repair. The development of the WMS is a cooperative effort between a team of researchers at Lincoln University and Department of Conservation (DoC) staff. DoC staff provided guidance and data, and the Lincoln University research team has implemented the system in Arc/Info software. This paper provides an analysis of the walkway maintenance problem and an overview of a GIS application developed for use as an applied tool for resource management.pp.1-12enGeographic Information System (GIS)walkwaysmaintenancewalking tracksinformation systemsWalkway Management System (WMS)OtherMarsden::280102 Information systems managementMarsden::300902 Land and parks managementANZSRC::0803 Computer SoftwareANZSRC::0802 Computation Theory and Mathematics
