GIS at UCD and on the Web: UCD Case Studies - see the benefits

UCD Library GIS Guide

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Service - Impact Case Study

The application of Geographic Information  Systems (GIS) to research has two key benefits:

it facilitates the analysis of data through visualisation

and it provides a method for disseminating research findings in an accessible and impactful way.

Case Study 4

To examine the role that the Dublin city region has in the national context and its value to Ireland as a global city of scale. The process through which this was achieved was firstly by examining available data and then by using this data to produce a spatial analytical assessment of Dublin’s role. This was followed by structured discussions with key policy makers and stakeholders.

Case Study 1

Planning for sustainability through Environmental Sensitivity Mapping

Dr González’s research looked at opportunities for a more                                 
proactive and participative integration of environmental considerations into land-use planning using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Through this work, Dr González
created a new way of mapping environmental sensitivity.
