About CIMS
The Community Infrastructure Mapping System (CIMS) combines Google's mapping library and infrastructure with a comprehensive database of different kinds of community infrastructure. Information about the different pieces is organized into layers. Some of the information has been collected by Newfoundland and Labrador Statistics Agency (NLSA) staff, while other layers (in particular, the Heritage Layers) are revised based on information received from partner agencies.
CIMS also features several layer specific tools. When activating any of the Heritage Layers users have access to two unique features, a travel time search and a topic based search. Activating the Health Centre layer makes the Health Care search tool available. These feature specific tools are one way in which we want CIMS to be of mutual benefit to both the developers of the site and the sources of the information, and providing more features to the users of the site as well.
About the Developers
The layers within CIMS and the system itself are a collaboration of two groups within the NLSA: Community Accounts and the Social and Economic Spatial Analysis (SESA) group.
