Geographic Information Systems Database Development

1999 TWISTER: GIS database compiled to assess the damage of the January 22, 1999 tornado that struck Clarksville, Tennessee. Information in the database includes streets, location of damaged properties, degree of damage to properties, and value of loss. The database was produced on-site at the emergency operations center. It was used to provide ongoing and final damage assessments to the City and County governments as well as to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

1997 Tennessee Today and Tomorrow: A Statistical Abstract of Tennessee Counties (TNGIS): The TNGIS is a compilation of over 700 html files listing demographic, economic, social and other data associated with Tennessee Counties. These files are accessible via the world wide web at http://www.apus.edu/tngis

1995 Montgomery County Community Based Information Resource System (MC/CBIRS): The MC/CBIRS contains geographic data utilizing the Bureau of the Census Tiger Line files, including: streets, highways, hydrography, railroads, historic sites, and landmarks. Attribute variables currently total 180 and are derived from the 1993 Census of Housing and Population. The number of attribute variables are continuously being expanded as time permits. The development of MC/CBIRS is a result partially of an APSU Tower Grant.

1994 Tennessee Geographic Information System (TNGIS): The development of the TNGIS database for socioeconomic data is an outgrowth of the Nashville Region Atlas project funded by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. The database contains geographic files for counties, county subdivisions, interstate highways, U.S. highways, state highways, and zip code centroids. Over 1,700 attribute variables are available for analysis purposes, including: complete county information from the 1993 and 1988 volumes of the City and County Data Book, more than 200 socioeconomic variables for county subdivisions, Lifestyle Cluster data for counties, and complete breakdown of economic activity for over 900 variables by SIC code.

Nashville Atlas Geographic Information System (NAGIS): NAGIS was developed in conjunction with the Nashville Region Atlas Project. The database contains information for 21 counties in Mid-Central Tennessee. This system was developed primarily as a tool to develop thematic maps that are included in the Nashville Region Atlas.
