GIS Case Studies

PRSS integrates evidence-based data assessment in maximizing performance outcomes. The utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a location based methodology, in working with what is traditionally viewed only as tabular data in sport, provides a visual decision tool for leadership in sport and recreation.

The GIS becomes an integral planning tool both for short and long term application, as all data that is incorporated in the map view resides in tablular format as part of the digital GIS. Data is available in real time relative to the recency of the tabular data from which the GIS products are created. Hence, change over time can also become a key consideration.

Types of data can include:

  • Sport member gender, age, and performance statistics;
  • Coach certification, sport and experience data;
  • Officials certification, experience, and availability;
  • Facility location, usage and accessibility details;
  • Demographics, such as ethnicity, age breakdowns, and spending capacity.


The above are a small example of the types of data that can be mapped, with the ability to compare and contract differing data types, as demonstrated in the case studies below. The visual map outcomes allow for evidence-based data defined decision making strategies to be applied in all areas of sport, and at all levels from recreational program planning through to high performance trend analysis.

With the continued growth in availability of data, PRSS is focused on acquiring applicable data and quality data that meets specific criteria to ensure that decision outcomes are founded on good information.
