The goals of the GISAG Center are five-fold:

 

  1. To provide the expertise in the application of GIS/GPS/Remote Sensing  technologies, in both the public and private sector. 
  2. To provide outreach instruction and state-of-the-art technology transfer in GIS technologies.
  3. To conduct research grant and contract work for on-campus and off-campus units
  4. Develop a centrally-distributed GIS and spatial database that can be employed by academic units and researchers across the campus, as well as community groups. Users will have the ability to access the centrally-distributed GIS database via their World Wide Web browser and download pertinent information onto their desktops. Having a centrally-based GIS database reduces potential problems with data replication and redundancy, and thus saves time and money in research and teaching efforts. The GIS spatial database will focus on a number of applications including, environmental planning, land use planning, natural resource monitoring, transportation planning, location-allocation modeling, monitoring, public health, and economic and census analysis.
  5. To promote, improve, and develop interest in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing among members of the Toledo community. To achieve this goal, the GISAG Users Group will have a series of lectures, meetings and training workshops, and discussions on the GIS Mailing List
