<br />Open Space Mapping
<br />and focus
<br />predominantly on
<br />protecting natural
<br />areas. Additionally,
<br />there are other
<br />communities that are
<br />expressing interest in
<br />creating a regional
<br />open space
<br />protection plan, but
<br />do not yet have the
<br />resource capabilities
<br />or for other reasons
<br />are not ready yet to
<br />proceed with
<br />creating a regional
<br />open space
<br />protection plan.
<br />Communications
<br />between and among
<br />the different groups
<br />is being promoted
<br />through the Million
<br />Acre Initiative.
<br />As part of the State Budget of Fiscal Year 2000, the General Assembly allocated $200,000 to the
<br />Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (CGIA) as part of the $1.7 million Farmland
<br />Preservation Trust package. This money was used to develop a Geographic Information System
<br />(GIS) for storing and mapping open space protection data in North Carolina. Dozens of
<br />meetings were held to discuss the technical intricacies of establishing such a complicated spatial
<br />database. The GIS was designed to achieve two goals:
<br />1) To map each protected property in North Carolina, documenting the owners, managers, funding sources,
<br />management strategies, type of protection, date of transaction, and many other important pieces of
<br />information about each land protection project.
<br />2) To bring together layers of data that can be used to develop strategies for future land protection. Data
<br />layers include prime farmland, municipal boundaries, water bodies, wildlife habitat areas, and target regions
<br />of various land protection programs.
<br />The structure of the database has been completed and the data have been partially collected.
<br />Additional data layers have been added to the protected areas layer to create a complete "project"
