Community Use of Public Facilities Ball Field Web Site
Montgomery County, MD
Population: 757,027
Program Year: 2001
Abstract:
The Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Information Systems and Telecommunications-Geographic Information Systems (DIST-GIS) team in partnership with the Community Use of Public Facilities Program (CUPF) created a website to enable the general public (customers) to find a ball field managed by CUPF in Montgomery County, Maryland. Customers are able to search for a ball field by a complex/school name, by geographic area, or by generating an alphabetical list of all ball fields managed by CUPF. The results of the ball field search options enable customers to display contact information and access detailed field descriptions, rules and regulations and aerial photographs for 210 ball field facilities. The web site was developed as part of Montgomery County's e-Government web portal, known as eMontgomery (http://www.emontgomery.org). It can be accessed through the eMontgomery web protal, under Recreation category, or by itself (http://routemap.emontgomery.org/cupf/). Web browsers such as Netscape 4+ or Internet Explorer 4+ can be used to access the website.
The CUPF Ball Field website was developed on DIST-GIS Intranet Web Server connected tio the Montgomery County Government Intranet. The Intranet, or internal web network, provided an effective testing environment for DIST-GIS programmers and enabled the CUPF staff to review the design and content of the website using a web browser (Netscape 4.7). Database and content revisions were provided by CUPF, via e-mail attachment, and addressed by DIST-GIS staff upon arrival. Once the website was approved by CUPF, it was uploaded from the DIST-GIS Intranet web server to an eMontgomery web server for public access. The following procedures were used to create and maintain the website: determine the website's functional requirements; collect and deliver website documents, content and data; design, program and test the website on the Intranet; review, revise, and approve the Intranet website; and maintain the Internet website.
