Abstract
Municipal GIS is by far one of the most critical
uses for the geographical information system at the city level. Visually
represented property data that is generated through this exercise facilitates
the process of municipal property assessment/ reassessment and provides the key
to a financially stable Urban Local Body. This easy model developed for the
Gorakhpur Municipal Corporation through the joint efforts of the Society for
Planning & Research in Sustainable Management (PRISM) and The Gorakhpur
Municipal Corporation is being replicated in 11 cities within the State of
Uttar Pradesh, including Gorakhpur.
