Abstract
GIS is one of the fastest growing technologies of present time. It has emerged as powerful and sophisticated means to manage vast amounts of geographic data. It provides a mechanism by which information on location, spatial interaction and geographic relationship of various facilities can be assessed and viewed in moments. It provides an opportunity to effectively view and access geographic data and thus to improve decision making process. This paper summarises the attempt to develop a computerized spatial data base system for Calicut city and to use that for identification of missing links in the road network based on travel demand.
