Introduction & Outline Education & Background Interest in GIS Sustainable Development & Conservation Planning Alley Network Design Recap/Conclusion

Education & Background Graduate Student MS-GIST B.S. Regional Development (GIS) GIS Intern City of Tucson Environmental Services GIS Intern Tucson Unified School District United States Coast Guard

Interest in GIS Search & Rescue Geography Research Allows us to make intelligent decisions Manipulation of data to solve a geographic problem

Sustainable Development Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan Designed on science based-principles influenced by public review and discussion Recognized as one of the top eco-regions world wide by the Nature Conservancy Sensible Growth Estimated each new year of construction consumes approximately ten square miles of desert How to direct growth while preserving lifestyle and quality of life in Pima County

Study Design Determine and identify parcels that are the most important for conservation and critical habitat Assume parks and protected areas are safe from development Important factors Critical habitat Owl habitat Access to water (major corridors for movement of wildlife)

Data Pima County FTP site (http://gis.pima.gov/data/contents) Conservation Lands System Special Species Management Proposed Pygmy-Owl Critical Habitat Tohono O’Odham Reservation Boundary Tucson Urban Area Habitat-Wildlife Springs Pima County Parcels Urban Interface Mines Protected Lands of Pima County Parks and Recreational Areas Major Wash Networks

Land Use in Eastern Pima County

Develop High Priority Areas for Conservation Analysis Develop High Priority Areas for Conservation 5 km buffer around springs and major washes 3 km buffer around mines Remove overlapping layers (intersect) owl habitat critical conservation areas springs Combine with habitat-wildlife

Remove Areas Inside of Conservation Area Analysis Remove Areas Inside of Conservation Area Parks & Protected Areas Tucson Urban Boundary Areas within the mining buffer

Wildlife Corridor

Alley Network Development Objective Investigate the potential for automating the solid waste collection street alley network system routing and design process To achieve this objective will require: Identify existing locations of 300 gal containers Identify and update the topology of the existing network Identify conflict points between designed route and existing features Research, develop and add attribute information Integrate alley feature class with Tucson’s street network to provide a fully functional street centerline network.

Data Sources Street Network, Alley Network, Private Street/Roads, Refuse Paths, Lease Point/Line Environmental Services Vector SDE Plat/Row Maps Survey Deeds City of Tucson Ordinance “Permission Slips” (Property Owners) Non-GIS Tucson Water Tucson Police Department Tucson Fire Department Tucson Department of Transportation Internal Agency Data Pima County Tucson Electric South West Gas External Agency Data

Methodology Parameters to Establish Incorporate STNETALL as a based standard Develop and maintain an alley naming convention Incorporate field parameters based on the data models of venders that sell automated routing software Use federal and state guidelines in assisting development (metadata) Develop QA/QC standards
