Conclusion
The purpose of this project is not only to help the Hill Country Alliance in their quest to ensure the continued existence of the hill country’s scenic, natural beauty, but also to create an instrument that will be reliable and current enough to be used to create sustainable growth models. A database containing data for all seventeen counties in the Texas Hill Country will be connected to an interactive interface and will be made available to citizens, landowners, future developers, environmentalists, politicians, and local governments. This mapping tool will provide a record of present land-use and provide insight into patterns for land-use in the future. This project is done in concordance with the Hill Country Alliance in an effort to marry science with policy.
