coined as geoinformatics provides an innovative tool in developing decision support system, use in strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation of geo-referenced data and information.


Geoinformatics

• Such emerging technology should be incorporated in the trilogy functions (academic, research and extension) of higher education institutions, among other functions of the other agencies and entities, local and abroad.

• Sharing of expertise on such allied fields is recommended for collaborative research support systems and spread the advances of such technology.

What is GIS?A computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing things that exist and events that happen on earth. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits offered by maps

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)

• In the field of GIS, one cannot ignore the importance and use of GPS technology as a tool for data input and data reconnaissance. This is a relatively new and advance technology but with increasing applications in the field of GIS.

Mapping of Higher Education Institutions and Programs

A Case StudyA commissioned research funded by CHED


Rationale

• The spatial distribution of HEIs, programs and facilities cannot be fully appreciated without visual representation of said data

• Maps would enable planners and other stakeholders to relate such data to the geographic, physical characteristics, infrastructures, feeder population and education needs of the service area of the HEIs.


Expected Outputs/Deliverables:1:250,000 regional maps of Regions I and CAR (electronic data file and five hard copies each); 1:50,000 provincial maps (electronic file) such as Ilocos Norte and Benguet (inclusive of their cities) provinces showing:

location and spatial distribution of HEIs, including campusesdistribution/density of programs (SUCs only, electronic file)density and distribution of feeder schools and populations,relevant regional features and characteristics


The digital and/or printed maps showed the following:location and spatial distribution of HEIs (including SUCs campuses) distribution/density of programs of public and private HEIs (SUCs programs as basis for querying; electronic file)density and distribution of feeder schools and populations (electronic file)relevant regional features and characteristics (for digital file and printed regional map)


Methodology

This project (Phase 1) involved the following activities and strategies:

1. developed well-structured questionnaires for field surveys, compilation and data generation of HEIs with its feeder schools and curricular offering, among other data elements and secondary data from LGUs, NEDA-RDCs in the study sites needed in characterization, mapping and profiling;

2. developed computer-based MIS to compile geo-referenced (with latitude and longitude coordinates) database of HEIs and other socioeconomics and secondary data;


Methodology

This project (Phase 1) involved the following activities and strategies:

3. CHED-OPPRI gave each SCU involved the standard digitized base maps (Philippine Atlas-regional-provincial-municipal levels and other attributes) to be used in the regional/provincial analysis;

4. interfaced of database MIS generated on GIS platform (using ArcView 3.x version, depending on the availability of funds) to generate thematic maps, tables and figures for any subsequent analysis;


MethodologyThis project (Phase 1) involved the following

activities and strategies:5. GIS-based approach to characterize HEIs and

subsequent analysis based on policy views, criteria (business rules) and development plans in the project site and national concerns on public higher education systems; and

6. Produced thematic maps at different scales, attributes and queries with figures, chart and hot links of digital images of specific geo-referenced HEIs/schools in the project site, among other possible mapping queries indicated by CHED-OPPRI.

Highlights

1. A user-friendly graphic user interface using the combined used of geographic information systems (GIS), database management systems and Visual Basic programming language was developed --- coined as a decision system support (DSS) tool that can be used for subsequently analyses based on the three major performance thrusts required by Office of Planning and Policy Research Information (OPPRI) of CHED;


Highlights

2. Thematic mapping of HEIs and FHSs showed that there is a likelihood that most HEIs and FHSs are concentrated in major towns and cities among provinces in Regions I and CAR. Thus there’s a need for more strategic planning for identifying the best location of schools given physical, social, financial and environmental factors for a given area for future considerations among planners and concerned government and non-government entities;


Highlights

3. The combined use of GPS and GIS interface with graphic user programming language has proven to be a very valuable and indispensable ICT tools for gathering, organizing, easy retrieval and storing geo-referenced data for subsequent analyses;


Recommendations

1. To institutionalize such gathering of database among HEIs and other pertinent information for subsequent analysis and strategic planning, management information systems or services (MIS) offices among regional CHED HEMIS, SUCs should be strengthened; and


Recommendations

2. Promote the use of ICT on RD&E, specifically on GIS for CHED to create centers of development/excellence on Geo-Informatics among selected SUCs;
