From page 23...
... 23 This chapter describes the benefits of using GIS to support land use compatibility around airports. Benefits accrue from efficiency (i.e., time or money savings)
From page 24...
... 24 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports staff is immersed in day-to-day federal-level airport planning, engineering, and operational terminology and requirements -- differing from the localized city planning nomenclature and regulations of community planners -- airport staff is often unaware of geospatial tools the local community may employ. The most successful enterprise systems have executive champions that not only promote and utilize the information, but also garner support from other managers to enable sustained financial investments for the long term.

... Benefits of GIS for Land Use Compatibility Planning 25 • Operational efficiency. Empowering humans with more intuitive maps and computers with more detailed geographic information enables aircraft to be routed to gates faster, maintenance and emergency crews to be dispatched more precisely, and simulation models to better optimize airfield designs.
From page 26...
... 26 Using GIS for Collaborative Land Use Compatibility Planning Near Airports Compiling these data sources can aid airport staff in measuring and visualizing the spatial allocation of compatible and incompatible land uses/land covers around airport property. Land covers with more intense and frequent human use are generally less compatible with airport operations (i.e., residential land conflicts most with aircraft operation and noise)
