Impact/Purpose:
This is a clearance for completion of a product as part of the SHC (old RAP 1.2.3 new RAP 1.62) program project. The deliverable was two fully documented use cases incorporated into EnviroAtlas. The use cases are a product deliverable - NOT an APR for Q4.
Description:
EnviroAtlas is an online spatial decision support tool for viewing and analyzing the supply, demand, and drivers of change related to natural and built infrastructure at multiple scales for the nation. To maximize usefulness to a broad range of users, EnviroAtlas contains training materials including help documents and tutorial videos; we are also developing use cases. Use cases demonstrate to users how to use EnviroAtlas resources for on-the- ground decision-making. Eventually EnviroAtlas will include a large library of use cases using different types of communications media. This deliverable consists of the first two use cases. The concept behind use cases is to develop them using easy-to-understand text and present them using different types of interactive media. Use cases are developed for a particular geography but the methodology can be transferred anywhere.
