Abstract
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer based information system that enables storing, modeling, manipulation, retrieval, analysis and presentation of geographically referred data. The suitability of the GIS for rural road planning and management lies in the fact that all the data in this field is normally geographically referred. In this paper, a systematic approach has been evolved to generate GIS based database for preparation of rural road plan and core network plan, including detailed project report information through case studies. It also reviews various applications of GIS in plan implementation, monitoring and management aspects.
