How to reach the hard to reach
According to recent research from the University of York in the United Kingdom, innovative participatory GIS techniques are able to assist in those segments of the community that are often regarded as "hard to reach".
Implementation of a pilot GIS for a volunteer water quality program
This presentation to an international conference on geoinformatics describes a pilot GIS program designed to provide analyses of water quality monitoring information for a catchment group - the West/Rhode Riverkeeper Organization, Inc. (WRR), an affiliate of the international Waterkeeper Alliance. Rather than focusing on a comprehensive implementation of spatial technologies, it was the intention that the project serves as a pilot study which must be sustainable and have its technology transferred to other Riverkeeper or similar catchment organisations.
