The Neighborhood Geographic Information System is a joint endeavor between the University and the city's four community cultural centers. The University and the centers are developing a database containing statistical and geographic information relevant to the minority community served by the centers. Faculty and students participate in training cultural center staff while developing the system and provide technical support. The team also works with cultural center staff to identify and analyze issues affecting their neighborhoods. The result will be a community-based database that will enable local cultural centers to obtain and use information available through numerous sources to more effectively participate in public debates and improve their ability to influence outcomes about policies affecting their members.
