LAEP Speaker Series: Mike Johnson, Turns Out, Location Matters...A Lot!
In 1854, John Snow, MD, used geographic analysis and maps to determine the primary source of the cholera epidemic in London. Public health spatial analysis was born. Much more recently, organizations across government, utilities, and private industry have discovered the positive impact of adopting a GIS-based location intelligence strategy using spatial analysis and maps to communicate potential outcomes. This session will offer some historical insight into early GIS in Utah and describe the current diversity of location intelligence applications through case studies. Examples represent stakeholder engagement, climate and environmental issues, transportation, and development challenges and will reference outcomes representing a strategy for balanced interaction between humans and the natural environment.
