Web-Based Community Planning for the Citizen Planner

The title above was the focus of the December 2001 issue of the Land Information Bulletin of the National Consortium for Rural Geospatial Innovation (RGIS) � Great Lakes at the University of Wisconsin � Madison and the Land Information & Computer Graphics Facility. This group created a fascinating planning website. The website is based on a land use planning project in Verona Township, Wisconsin through a community demonstration grant. The website provided Verona�s land use task force and citizens to learn about their community, visualize, and explore the consequences of different land use alternatives. The website includes maps, data, a land use survey, a planning search engine, and various tools for analyzing farmland protection, environmental corridors, and residential development.

The table of contents includes: information about the website, resources and information, an explanation of their tools of analysis, a virtual tour, how the website works and setting up your own website.
