Wireless Technology : Making Neighborhood-Based Data Collection Manageable

Information gathering, conducting surveys, data analysis—these phrases can strike fear in the hearts of community development corporation (CDC) staff and volunteers. While effective project and neighborhood planning requires good data, collecting and analyzing neighborhood data is a timeconsuming and labor intensive job. Fortunately for Philadelphia’s CDCs, this monumental task has been made easier by the development of the Pocket Neighborhood Inventory System (Pocket NIS). This software application developed by the Philadelphia Association of Community Development Corporations (PACDC), used in conjunction with a handheld computer, helps process data, increases the quality of data gathered, makes data collection and analysis simpler, and establishes a basis for measuring changes in a neighborhood over time.
