Introduction

• Land Information Computer Graphics Facility
  (LICGF)? the University of Wisconsin
• "Land Use Planning Workshop",
• the use of computer technology, including GIS, in
  citizen-based landues planning.
• These workshops are a combination of lectures,
  presentations, and hands-on exercises.

several serve purposes

• helping to develop a "Planning Toolkit,"
  consisting of software modules and tools which
  help support land use analysis,
• growth allocation,
• visualization,
• impact assessment.

4
The Planning Analyst consists of 5 "Modules"

• Exploration (Status and Trends, WWW mapping, Data
  Download)
• Analysis (Environmental Corridors, Farm Priority
  Zones, Growth Management Factors)
• Allocation (Hands-On residential growth
  placement)
• Impacts (Cost Of Community Services, Visual
  impacts, Traffic, Ordinances)
• Public Access (Internet/Www Kiosk)

the Analysis Module

• "Environmental Corridors",
• "Farm Priority Zones",
• "Growth Management Factors".

Environmental Corridors model

• Professor Emeritus Philip J. Lewis, Jr.
• slopes, wetlands and surface waters

7
"nodes of diversity."

• water,
• wetlands, and
• steep slopes

Farm Priority Zones

• The idea is to model those areas which would be
  best preserved for agricultural uses.
• Dane County
• Farmland losing.
• Preserving farmland, and farming

10
3-step process to establish Farm Priority Zones
(FPZ)

• 1) Construct a base layer
• 2) Derive potential FPZs and
• 3) Evaluate and select final FPZs
