Abstract

The research involves identifying the agents of change and contributors that enable upgrading the role of GIS in Cairo governorate Urban Upgrading Units (UUUs). This leads to better geographic information recordkeeping, improved communication, better decision making, better knowledge sharing and cost saving resulting from greater efficiency. A participatory approach was followed throughout the study in gathering the information as well as discussing the resolutions of issues and obstacles faced by the UUUs. The first stage of the study is concerned with identifying the agents of change and contributors that will help in the process of bridging the gap between the current status of the UUUs and reaching the objectives.  The second is concerned with identifying priorities of application according to the rapid influence on improving the system, in addition to the analysis of these priorities and identifying the cofactors (agents of change), obstacles and contributors based on participatory approach involving the UUU staff, GIZ GIS representative and researchers
