Search SHPD Records

HICRIS makes project submission easier by allowing users access to the current GIS data and a digital library related to past projects and surveyed areas in the state. There are multiple ways to search for information to assist you in your research.

You can reach Search using the main menu in the upper left of the screen. Two examples here will help you get started.

Criteria Search

In this first example, a criteria search is performed to find Buildings on the Island of O’ahu.

Navigate to Search by selecting ‘Search’ from the menu in the upper left of the screen.

Among the dropdowns and text fields where search criteria can be entered, along the left side of the Search screen, input the following (you may need to scroll down):

•Resource Type of “Above Ground”

•Resource Classification of “Building”

•Mokupuni of “O’ahu”

Then scroll down to the bottom of the search pane on the left side of the screen and select ‘Search Resources’.

The results are presented in the results grid on the right side of the screen, below the map. Select the Go To icon  to view the Resource Detail screen of one of the Buildings returned in the results and learn more about it.

Spatial Search

In this second example, a spatial search is performed to find records with GIS data near Hilo.

Navigate to Search by selecting ‘Search’ from the menu in the upper left of the screen.

In the upper left of the map window, in the white search box that has a placeholder of ‘Find address or place’, start typing ‘Hilo’ until the option for ‘Hilo, HI, USA’ appears, and select that option. The map is then zoomed to the general vicinity of this locality.

On the right side of the map window, in the Spatial Search pane, select the polygon tool  and draw a polygon around Hilo. Click once to place each vertex of the shape, and double-click to finish drawing and perform the search.

The results, which include everything with GIS data that is present within the geographic area of the shape that was drawn, is presented in the results grid on the right side of the screen, below the map. Select the Go To icon  to view the Detail screen of one of the items returned in the results and learn more about it.
