In conclusion, the project established a lot of tools to meet the needs of the local government. The DIGIS is expected to improve the managing capability of the People’s Committee of District 5 to serve people more effectively.
4 Training
Training was one of critical issues of the project. Training program was divided into 2 courses: Introduction to the GIS and Using the DIGIS 1.0. The first course gave trainees basic knowledge about GIS. The content of this course had 7 chapters: introduction, creating and editing spatial data, creating and editing attribute data, linking data, querying data, presenting data, and creating layout in ArcView GIS. Trainees were supported with textbooks. At the end of the course, they all had to complete a mini-test. The second course was started right after the mini-test. The course focused on giving district’s staff skills to use DIGIS 1.0 in their actual activities. At the end of the second course, the final test was performed to help trainees to review all lessons.
The training program was completed successfully with about 16 of 20 trainees passing the examination. All passed trainees got a certificate of achievement.
