Populations and resources in rural areas are very often the last to benefit from the application of technological advances and innovations. In Iowa, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) geographic information system (GIS) technology at the local level to address rural issues is in the early stages of development. The importance of sound natural resource management to the economic and social well being of rural communities and areas underscores the enormous potential of GIS as a decision-making tool for resource managers, public officials, and business owners. That being the case, Golden Hills RC&D, an organization deeply concerned with the human environment and natural resources in rural Iowa, has developed the expertise and acquired the technical and material support necessary to serve as a regional source of GIS assistance.
