近年来，作为一项技术和一门科学，地理信息系统取得了巨大的进步。此前，地理信息系统被批评为地理空间专家专门使用的一门独立科学。然而，近年来，各种研究调查了未接受地理空间培训的社区促进或受益于使用地理信息系统的潜力。事实上，开源和基于互联网的包(如Google Earth和Open Street Map)以及移动导航设备等创新已经普及了地理空间数据的重要性。这项研究试图调查一种向使用南非水坝的渔民和游客提供最新地图的方法。本文报告了在南非Theewaterskloof大坝上使用基于Web的地理信息系统服务绘制地图的试点案例研究。它提供了一个开发和测试网络地理信息系统的案例研究和方法，该网络地理信息系统可以针对智能手机和平板电脑进行优化，以便社区可以在使用被评为危险的大坝用于钓鱼或其他娱乐活动时获取最新的信息。
In recent years there have been huge advancements in GIS as a technology and as a science. Previously, GIS was critiqued as a segregating science used exclusively by geospatial experts. In recent years however, various studies have investigated the potential for communities without geospatial training to contribute towards, or benefit from, the use of GIS. Indeed, innovations such as open source and internet based packages like Google Earth and Open Street Map as well as mobile navigation devices have already popularised the importance of geospatial data. This study sought to investigate one way of providing up-to-date maps to fishermen and tourists using dams in South Africa. The paper reports on a pilot case study in the use of web based GIS service for mapping on the Theewaterskloof dam in South Africa. It presents a case study methodology for the development and testing of a web GIS that can be optimised for smartphones and tablets so that communities can access updated information while using the dam, which is rated as dangerous, for fishing or other recreational activity.
