Office of Planning
Mission & Vision
• Mission
• To guide the overall growth and development of the State
of Hawaii through a statewide comprehensive planning
framework.
• Vision
• To be a model planning office; to be composed of staff
who provide superior planning and technical assistance to
the State; to improve the quality of life for Hawaii's
present and future population through the pursuit of
desirable courses of action that effectively address current
and emerging issues and opportunities; and to carry out
our mission through close coordination with county, state,
and federal governmental agencies, the University of
Hawaii, and community stakeholders.

Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 225-M:

Responsible for…”Planning, coordinating, and maintaining a
comprehensive, shared statewide planning and geographic
information system and associated geospatial
database. The office shall be the lead agency responsible
for coordinating the maintenance of the multi-agency,
statewide planning and geographic information system and
coordinating, collecting, integrating, and disseminating
geospatial data sets that are used to support a variety of
state agency applications and other spatial data analyses to
enhance decision making.”

Hawaii State GIS Program History

• State leaders understood that Hawaii had finite land resources and
that carefully planning new development was essential
• 1961 – State Land Use Law – Hawaii was nationally recognized as a
leader in land use planning
• Mid-1970’s – State planners recognized the value of the newly
emerging field of GIS
• Late 70’s - The Hawaii State Plan (1978) was being developed using
manual map overlays; this was a process advocated by Ian McHarg,
whose “1969 landmark book Design With Nature has had a greater
influence on the development and application of Geographic
Information Systems than any other single event in GIS history. ”
(URISA GIS Hall of Fame, http://www.urisa.org/node/394)


• Planners realized that imagery could be used for
change detection, resource management & planning
• The Coastal Zone Management Program (CZM) funded a
number of studies to improve resource management
techniques including use of remote sensing technology.
• While collecting air sample data over the Islands, NASA,
using the U-2 airplane, agreed to capture high resolution
imagery– this was the 1st generation natural color and
infrared imagery of the State.
• NASA’s LANDSAT program also captured imagery of the
State – this first generation of LANDSAT produced digital
remote sensing imagery as 1.1 acre cells


• 1977 – CZM funded a first generation of a GIS, the UH CZM
Geographic Information & Display System (GIDS)
• 9/79 – Jack Dangermond, ESRI, gave presentation to
interested State agencies
• 3/87 – Jack Dangermond, ESRI, gave presentation to
attendees of the first State GIS Conference
• 1987-88 – CZM was funding the development of an Ocean
and Coastal Management System (OCIMS)


• 1987-Fourteenth Legislature, HR 275, HD1 – Request:
• DPED chair GIS Task Force composed of interested
agencies & companies
• Participants: OSP (later OP), DOA, DBF/EDPD (later ICSD),
DBED, DOD, DHHL, DOH, DLNR, DOT
• Tasks:
• Define user needs
• Review capabilities and limitations of current GIS technology
• Work closely with agencies with experience (UH, C&C, etc.)
• Recommend a system that would provide max data w/ min
redundancy
• Recommend a system that would permit public and private
agencies & orgs to access, extract, analyze data

• OSP 1988 Report to the State Legislature – State
Automated Geographic Information System
(SAGIS)
• Inventory of current activities/systems:
• Federal Agencies: USGS: ESRI; DOA: GRASS; NPS: CAD;
USFWS: MOSS
• State Agencies: DOT: Intergraph; DOD IEMIS; CZM: OCIMS
(ESRI); UH: HNRIS
• Counties: C&C – 1.6 million turn-key system by ESRI; Hawaii:
MAP; Maui: feasibility study; Kauai: None


• OSP 1988 Report to the State Legislature – State
Automated Geographic Information System
(SAGIS)
• Recommendations:
• CZM’s OCIMS (ESRI) would be the base of State GIS
• Mini Computer running ESRI s/w, housed in EDPD Data Center
• OSP, due to its statewide planning and coordination functions,
and its multi-agency, multi-disciplinary mission, would be the
home of State GIS
• B&F EDPD would provide technical & operational support,
including funding of shared equipment for GIS


• State GIS formed in 1989
• Jointly managed by OP (policy, data) and ICSD
(infrastructure, technical support)
• Officially recognized in legislation by 1996
legislature in Act 299, which modified § 225-M to
formalize the State GIS Program
• Original, core users: OP, ICSD, DLNR, DOH


• Late 90’s – State GIS helped to create the Hawaii
Geographic Information Coordinating Council
(HIGICC)
• OP obtained a federal grant to help form a Council
• Many HIGICC founding members are here – this is a
distribution list of a 1998 email from Craig Tasaka,
former GIS Program Manager:

Program (CELCP)

Use of GIS in Major State Agency Projects

1991, 2001, 2011 – Elections - Redistricting

Attorney General
Drug Treatment and Prevention Centers

Juvenile Justice Information System

Governor’s Office – Workforce Transportation Study

Governor’s Office – School Enrollment Trends

DBEDT – Enterprise Zone Determination

DAGS/ICSD – Microwave Siting Project

Challenges
• Layoffs/Attrition - Staff from 8 to 3
(1989 – 2; 1993 – 8; 2012 – 3)
• Budget cuts

Accomplishments
• Jointly funded new quad maps with USGS – led to
DLGs, DEMs, DRGs
• HI was the first state to have full DLG/DEM coverage
• used as base maps for State GIS – many layers derived
from this data

Accomplishments

• Participated in funding (with CZM) many of
Hawaii’s most-used data layers
• SPOT
• Digital Globe DOQQs
• IKONOS
• WorldView 2
• CCAP
• Neighbor Island Parcels

Accomplishments
• OP was first government agency in Hawaii to make
GIS data layers available for download at no cost!
• 2001: ESRI Special Achievement in GIS award
“The State GIS Program is the
coordinating agency for GIS activities
within state government. The Program
has created a publicly accessible
website with free GIS data and Internet
mapping capabilities.”

Future Direction
• State GIS Strategic Planning began 1/27
• Input from State users, other experts and
stakeholders
• CIO proof-of-concept budget request
• Hire permanent GIS Program Manager
• Beta testing ArcGIS Online for Organizations
• Database conversion from shapefiles to
ArcSDE (if funded – part of CIO request)

Future Direction
• True Enterprise GIS, including:
• Improved data sharing and access
• Cloud computing and data storage
• Web mapping and data services
• More use of GIS analysis
• And more…..
