Abstract
The popularity of using GIS web applications has risen, and is likely to be a staple
tool in the future of science communication, public engagement, and outreach. In this
paper, I will evaluate one of the GIS web tools the State of Hawaiʻi is planning to use,
and determine its effectiveness. The Hawaiʻi Department of Health, authorized by Act
132, established the Cesspool Conversion Working Group (CCWG) to research and
develop an extensive plan to tackle the conversion of cesspools statewide by 2050. While
adopting an updated cesspool prioritization framework, the CCWG decided to create a
GIS web application that would be a visual representation of cesspool prioritization. To
measure the functionality of the web application, we evaluated the user experience
through a combination of qualitative observations and survey. This study contributes to
the body of evidence that creating a GIS web application with an excellent user
experience requires an iterative process. Scientists can enhance their GIS web
applications by considering the diverse users which are bound to utilize their tool.
