The benefits of GIS are considerable and include:
- The power to visualise, explore, query and analyse data geographically
- Presentation and summarisation of data to enable analysis and communication of land based issues such as relationships, trends and patterns
- A tool for managing a broad range of information
- A permanent digital database and plan base of information which can be easily updated and edited in the future
ASH design + assessment use ArcView GIS, one of the leading software packages for desktop GIS and mapping to manage geographical information from the desktop. ASH has been commissioned by a number of clients to incorporate GIS as a key element and tool in a number of projects and reports which include the following:
- Tranquil area mapping
- Environmental audit and strategies for social inclusion partnerships
- Sustainable development studies
