Planning for a Pedestrian-Friendly Neighborhood Using
3D GIS-Based Visualizations
Cana McCoy August 16, 2006
• Background & Goals
• Preliminary Research
• Methods
• Results & Conclusions
Background & Goals
• Revitalizing Pomeroy Village streetscape planning process
• Providing Amherst with reusable 3D GIS data and useful results from public survey and traffic analysis
• Evaluating the costs and utility of a particular method for creating 3D visualizations
• Aiding the continued integration of GIS into planning

Preliminary Research• Around 10 scholarly articles,
from sources such as – Journal of Urban Planning and
Development– Journal of the American
Planning Association– Landscape and Urban Planning– Computers, Environment and
Urban System– Transportation Research
Record
• Trade magazine articles and conference proceedings for most recent information– GeoWorld– Earth Observation Magazine– 2005 ESRI User Conference
• Amherst planning studies from Town and student researchers
Methods
• Pomeroy Village Public Survey
• Traffic Measurement & Analysis
Methods• Creation of
3D GIS Data & Visualizations
• Resource Accounting
• Public Meeting
• Did you find these visuals helpful? □ Yes □ Somewhat □ No
• Did the visuals have: □ Too much detail □ Just the right amount of detail □ Not enough detail
• Were you able to identify the locations shown in the computer-generated pictures? □ I could easily identify them □ Eventually, I could identify them all □ There were some where I couldn’t □ Not at all
• Did the visuals give you a good sense of how a possible future streetscape might look? □ Yes □ Somewhat, or only for certain aspects □ No
• In general, do you find the use of 3-D images like these in a public meeting to be a useful approach? □ Yes □ No
• Did you fill out the Pomeroy Village public survey? □ Yes □ No
• If yes, did you change your mind on any of the questions posed in the survey after this meeting? □ Yes □ No
Exit Questionnaire for Public Meeting
Results & Conclusions
• Previous reports tells us that the village center has been planned for some time, but implementation is slow.
• The public survey yielded both lessons and results.
• Traffic analysis indicated that intersection performance will need to be carefully examined as part of any changes.
Results & Conclusions
• Creation of 3D scenes was limited by both time, and software/hardware capabilities, but was ultimately successful.
• Time and resources required to achieve useful results were reasonable, and products can be reused extensively.
• The visualizations were a useful and clear tool which aided the public in understanding and discussing plans.
