Enabling Decision Making Through Spatial Conversations
Andrew Clouston, Pernilla Lofgren & Zhang Sisi
It is no secret that Christchurch has moved, especially in the eastern suburbs. The shallow surface movement associated with that movement has far reaching implications on property rights both now and into the future. To make decisions on how the New Zealand cadastral and title system should manage the effects of shallow surface movement it is vital all decision makers and advisors can communicate effectively together and share a common perspective of the extent of the movement. A web based geovisualistion tool played a vital role in enabling decision makers and their advisors, not all of whom are spatial professionals to access, understand and use what is otherwise complex technical planning, geophysical, cadastral and geodetic data. This paper examines the need to transform data into information and introduces the concept of spatial conversations as a key application of geospatial visualisation.
