    ARMView was a joint effort with the Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) at the University of Florida.  Delivered on a CD, the database contained a detailed listing on over 320,000 commercial properties in Florida.  The ARMView software  to access the database, written by ARMASI staff, could display all records for a particular land use or all data for a single parcel.  For added convenience the selected data could be written to a spreadsheet.  This product is no longer  available.

With the application of the BEHIV process to additional species we changed the name to:

Analysis of Species Specific Environmental Setting’s for Sustainability (ASSESS)

 

     In this project we applied the procedures used in the BEHIV to

 

                  Red Cockaded Woodpecker

                  Florida Scrub Jay 

                  Sandhill Cranes

                  Wading Birds

 

     The basic procedure involved the development of satellite coverage profiles for each of the above species.  This provided for ithe identification of existing and potential habitat and was accomplished using ArcGIS, armasi’s GIS utilities and FWC’s latest statewide satellite image of land cover.

     As with the BEHIV process there are two main components of the index, one is a quantitative characterization of the Natural Setting Vulnerability Index (NAVI) and the other is the Conservation & Future Land Use Vulnerability Index (COVI).  The first, NAVI, is a measure of the quality of the existing and potential ecological setting while the COVI is an indication of the potential for modification of the habitat based on projected land use  

     This dual approach based on current habitat quality and the long range sustainability of the habitat area provides a valuable management tool.

 

 

     NAVI map at top and COVI map below with the scatter graph.  The graph displays the distribution of the scores NAVI Y axis and COVI the X  axis for each site. The arrow points to a specific ASSESS value for a single point queried through the ArcGIS interface.

     The map below shows the distribution and quality of habitat for the Red cockaded Woodpecker .

 

 

       Future Land Use Map of Florida composited by armasi using the current future land use maps from all relvant (about 50) planning jurisdictions in Florida.  It required conversion to a common projection, translation of disparate land use classification schemes into a common use scheme and edge matching of borders where possible.

    ARMASI was charged by FDOT with the task of determining within a brief time period the amount of commercial and industrial space within a five mile wide area surrounding the FIHS highway segments and interchanges for the year 2000. 

     The image, at right, shows the sq. ft. of industrial land use within the buffered area of the interchanges.  The results are derived fron overlaying the LUMS section level data, center, on the FIHS interchange locations.

     The image at bottom  shows the results of overlaying the LUMS data on the FIHS highway segment file. The color coding indicates the amount of  sq. ft. of industrial land use within the 5 mile wide buffer of each highway segment.  The grided areas are the section boundaries.

      Though this project required a calaculation of existing inventory other possibilities include showing the amount of residential land or indicating a change in a land use .  For example the change in the value by sq. ft. of commercial land over time at each interchange.
