  • 摘要:History shows that from time to time, progress in advancing functionality in one or other of these requirementshas contained the diffusion and adoption process. In Australia, at present, it is adoption by third-tier governmentagencies and local organisations that is such that the biggest gap between potential and actual deploymentis exhibited. Especially, can it be argued from a survey of local-area (e.g. LGA, DSE regional offices) GISLab data processing practice, that there is a lack of data flow coherence. This paper presents results of ananalysis of the relative significance of constraints upon adoption of the full power of digital spatial datahandling with coherence in the service of the PINP and related organisations. The coherence problem isshown to be overcome by adopting a data directory model including well-trailed data dictionaries. The biggestconstraint is shown to be access to adequate software for data sharing and maintenance; mainly a problemof finding the funds to pay proprietary software license fees. Although this is not unusual, it is shown thatrecent advances in efforts to promote data sharing and spatial data visualisation, worldwide (in the form ofopen-source software) promise a revolution in the construction of detailed geographies (time and space)such that transparency and utility are greatly improved, and the user-base of the digital spatial database cangreatly increase in size by extending itself to include many naive users. Exemplification is made usingseveral decision support tasks faced by Phillip Island natural park rangers, Shire environment officers andcommunity LANDCARE groups. GIS, empowering the regional environmental managers in the interests ofmaximising the value of spatial information and the implementation of public policy promoting diffusion ofdigital spatial data handling and transparency in government. This main aim of this paper is the out-reachweb GIS for regional environmental managers.
