Abstract

The Department of the Army must provide its personnel with acceptable housing at minimum cost within the vicinity of military installations. To achieve these housing objectives, the Army often has to enter into agreements for the long-term leasing of existing housing. A decision-support system, called HANS, has been developed to project the number of leases that must be arranged.

This paper describes a geographical information system (GIS) enhancement that helps Army managers to locate the lease properties and display characteristics of the properties. It also overviews the benefits, challenges, and limitations of the enhanced system.
