Goals and Activities

Improve and integrate natural resource and key planning data for more effective regional planning and program decisions. The GPP would build upon its current efforts with the Department of Fish and Game to digitize existing habitat and natural resource data and add new resource information needed for local and regional planning. In addition, the GPP would work with state and regional entities to determine data gaps and obtain local data not currently part of the GPP data layers (e.g. general plans and their updates, habitat, land use and parcel data).

Improve access to, and use of, natural resource and planning data through an on-line, centralized spatial data system. Through the California Environmental Resources Evaluation System (CERES) Web site and the California Digital Conservation Atlas, up-to-date, high-resolution spatial data for the San Joaquin Valley will be easily accessible for planning decisions within the San Joaquin Valley. In addition, the GPP will work with other state entities to incorporate new data.

Establish processes for sharing data between local/regional and state entities. A pilot would be implemented to establish a process for sharing key data between state, regional and local governments in the San Joaquin Valley. The GPP would work with regional representatives to:
  • Determine data needs
  • Design a consensus based, data sharing process
  • Compile and share existing natural resource and planning geospatial data and develop additional
    layers at a scale appropriate for local analyses for the San Joaquin Valley
  • Develop and deliver geospatial analytical tools to empower and better inform local, regional and
    state decision-makers
  • Make local San Joaquin Valley geospatial data layers publicly accessible
