Development of Geo Info Systems for Bangalore, BGS


4.b. Methodology

4. c. Implementation
  1. Application development – Phase I - Pilot project, development of BCITool for2 to 3 wards or local areas or 10 sqkm core city area of the project
  2. City level-Bangalore Cadastral Info Systems, BCIS and the development for the rest of the city areas
  3. Customization, training and creation of monitoring center for handling cadastral related information.
4.d. Benefits
The benefits in the longer term and the short term, the short term benefits like BCITool which is the immediate benefit to agencies, public as well as visitors etc.
  • The Physical compilation of data less storage space is required
  • Easier handling, updating allowing more effective and efficient analysis
  • Merging graphical and attribute data in one set of operations
  • Integration of different datasets can be managed and processed together fir better analysis.
  • Ensuring safety of data through use of non erasable storage devices
  • Easy and faster data transfer for sharing and used by others
  • Properly geo referenced land records data and integration with other land parameters will become asset for planners and decision makers
  • Disputes over land titles should be avoided and decided at the earliest
  • This process should integrate registration of land titles, land values/ mutation process should be simplified for easy and fast implementation
  • Protection of government/public properties and asset management is easier public as well as private
  • Encroachment /illegal occupation of public properties can be avoided
4.e. The Potential Users

  • Enhanced data sharing
Conclusion
Bangalore Geo Information System (BGS) and the tools like Bangalore GeoInfo Tool (BGT) and the Bangalore Cadastral Information Tool (BCIT) will make a lot of difference in planning and monitoring of properties for various public, private agencies and the citizen. Since it is more scientifically done, no room for discrepancies. Accurately geo referenced data will be the biggest asset for planners and urban managers. This simplifies the process of land registration, assessment and easy to update. It can be shared among different agencies avoid duplication of data and uniform data across the data. It will act as a base for multipurpose cadastral information for various land uses. This project envisions a future where GIS is recognized, as an integral and indispensable information tool for government and business, serving the integrated information needs of both citizens and customers.
