Description:

Abstract:

The Jamaican Government has developed an information management system (IMS) using a Geographic Information System (GIS) software package. The Montego Bay Pilot Study data consist of the layers for Land Use, Enumeration District Boundaries (1982, 1991), Housing Topology, Perennial Streams and Rivers, Primary, Secondary and Town Roads, Contours, Zoning, "Urban Fence", Open land suitability analysis, and Place names in Montego Bay. All coverages are stored in the common coordinate system.

Purpose:

The Montego Bay Pilot Study has focused on a number of environmental information and management activities which include: 1. compiling, storing, processing and reporting environmental data and related information; 2. preparing issue-specific/sectoral assessments on environmental quality health and development; 3. preparing research reports.

Supplemental_Information:

The Montego Bay Pilot Study is being distributed through the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) initiative in the development of an information management system (IMS) to strengthen the coastal and marine resource management capabilities of member countries participating in the programme. The seventeen member countries are: Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela benefit from this project.
