Futurity's research
services range from documenting land cover conditions to identifying analysis
options. Our knowledge base and infrastructure provide organizations with
cost-effective means for fulfilling research needs. Products such as inventories,
statistical comparisons, and implementation strategies are used in "state
of condition" reports, management plans, and development strategies.
Land
Cover Conditions
Many projects require specialized datasets, which in turn serve as the
basis for ongoing analyses. Futurity uses GIS and remote sensing to document
the presence, extent and quality of land cover conditions. Planners and
scientists use our inventories and assessments as benchmarks for assessing
change.
Demographic
and Land Use Conditions
Demographic and land use conditions are documented through analysis of
diverse data. Futurity's understanding of these data enables it to build
and undertake efficient and effective land-use analyses. Our research
documents factors such as geographic shifts in population, land use conditions,
and type of property ownership.
Land
Use Interests
Through specially compiled data files and GIS analysis, Futurity can link
organizations such as land trusts, watershed management coalitions, and
habitat protection groups to political and natural resource mapping units.
This connection can provide advanced information by determining the combined
and interrelated roles of organizations.
Information
Requirements and Availability
Questions can often be investigated using more than one avenue -- and
more than one source or type of information. Futurity understands both
land cover/land use issues and how information can be used to increase
knowledge of these issues. We identify the analysis approach that is best
suited for a particular project based on factors such as anticipated findings,
budget, timeline and information availability.
