Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled An Evaluation of User's Perception on the Planning Information System for Urban Renewal in Hong Kong Submitted by Wong King Wan, Bille for the degree of Master of Geographic Information Systems at The University of Hong Kong in June 2005 Several GIS Systems in Hong Kong have been set up by organisations involved in land-use related fields such as Government departments as well as private developers and planning consultants. The Urban Renewal Authority (URA), an implementation agency for government in charge of urban renewal has also developed a GIS system in its Planning and Development Division since 1999. The system was enhanced in 2003. It contains information covering all buildings within the urban areas, all current and potential URA projects, and other necessary data to facilitate the identification of potential projects and/or assist in the decision making process. The technology for both GIS software and hardware has changed rapidly in the past few years such that most of the GIS packages and computers are becoming more powerful, user-friendly and affordable. With more understanding obtained from spatial data exploration and more GIS data are available from the Government, there is a need for constant upgrading of the GIS system not only to enhance its functions but also to enrich its data contents. The lifespan for a "customised" GIS system is expected to last for only 3 years and thereafter, an overhaul to the system will be necessary especially when it is coupled with new and/or changes in user requirements, for example, to access GIS data via the internet. The dissertation aims to assess the effectiveness of the enhanced system in serving its predefined functions and to identify the inadequacy of the system in terms of data availability, data quality, data sharing and data compatibility, with the last two not only a problem within URA but also a major source of concern within government departments in Hong Kong. The dissertation will further examine the system to identify the type of constraints imposed to the system and to investigate whether there is room for further improvement, and to propose new GIS functions which might help to streamline the authority's workflows as well as to provide more useful information to support decision making by the senior management.
