Maintenance and Upkeep  Final product is a dataset from which to begin working  Continued checks and updates need to be performed

as land uses change  Needs to be maintained against any and every

department within the city as development occurs


Conclusion  Created a dataset from which to begin monitoring and

updating  Can be used for a wide array of analysis related to city

planning  Can reveal patterns and problems within the layout of

a community  GIS represents the best tool for the job
