Urban Planning and Information System for Municipal Corporations
 Fig. 3: Web-GIS based Thematic Display of Electricity Supply & Respective Poles Conclusions Map making and geographic analysis are not new, but a GIS performs these tasks faster and with more sophistication than traditional manual methods do. Without owning the individual software, the Internet GIS technology has opened new paths for disseminating, sharing, displaying, and processing spatial information on the Internet. Web-based solutions provide a low-cost, efficient way to deliver map products to users. The urban planning and information system is a step towards web-GIS based solution, which is certainly helping public in a big way. The utility departments of NMC are encouraged to view maps and data using a PC sitting comfortably in their ward offices thereby not visiting head offices as often they did earlier. Fire and Health department departments find it useful during emergency services since all information is brought around the hot spots with the click of a button. The most beneficial amongst all departments are the roads and building and town planning. The search for maps and documents seems to be over. Where hours are counted to locate maps, now that uncertainty is over. Overall the department officers find the system too much beneficial. The future of this system lies on sharing the information to the public and to other municipal corporations of India and world via www. References
