Using ArcGIS Online to Reduce Complexity, Increase Transparency, And Boost Functionality

Background
1994: Santa Cruz County Mosquito & Vector Control (SCCMVC)
began using ArcGIS Desktop to locate, manage, and
analyze mosquito breeding sites.
2004: The County was divided into 5 service zones, each with a
zone technician and ArcGIS seat. Each technician was
responsible for creating their own maps, layers, and
attribute tables, as well as any analysis tools.
2011: The individualized approach grew increasingly difficult to
manage and challenging to change. There was a need to
simplify and streamline the process, as well as a desire to
add a mobile device program to the workflow.
2015: Transitioned from ArcGIS Desktop to ArcGIS Online system.
External Outcomes
Field View - Current - Mobile devices running a suite of programs
uniting data collection, data entry, navigation, and analysis.
Survey App
This app allows us to enter site data in customizable forms.
Collector App
The blue lines are creeks. The yellow line identifies an access trail.
Collector App
We can pull up treatment history of any site allowing for proper action.
Collector App
We can re-measure a site polygon by walking it to collect points.
Internal Outcomes
Technicians and management are able to analyze all zones
concurrently using standardized terms and symbology.
Trap data (species, count, and location) is overlaid with
breeding site data to determine efficacy of treatments.
Design builds (apps, widgets, and themes) are consumed by all
users from a single publishing source.
Centralized dispatch and routing operations lead to a simpler
and more efficient workflow.
Data enrichment variables (age, population, and
income) allow pinpointing of populations most vulnerable to
disease transmission.
Integrated navigation system is our next project for this venture.
Public View - Future - Integrated GIS maps on our website
providing real-time updated data, clickable points, and Storymaps.
Management View - Future - Operations dashboard allows all
aspects of the mosquito abatement program to be monitored in
real time.
Process
Optimize MS Access database for migration to SQL Server.
Develop standard coding and terminology for all zones.
Combine all zone layers into a set of county wide layers.
Build ArcGIS Online environment using Webmaps
and Webapp builder.
Respond to needs and concerns of users.
Publish feature layers off a map server feature service.
Develop a stored procedure to create an ArcGIS Online layer
which shows the current state of breeding sources based on
data entry into the SQL database.
Train users on new system including workarounds to perceived
loss of functionality.
