Urban Planning and Information System for Municipal Corporations
Overview of Solution
Urban planning and information system was implemented over intranet backbone (Fig. 1) and using Windows NT server. The GIS based system has 3 modules consistently for all 11 departments. They are, Data Entry, Report Generation and GIS based query system. All the three modules can be accessed from remote machines using a browser. The only perquisites being that the terminal nodes are connected to the server via Internet or Intranet. Data Entry screens are used for entering data related to the various entities in the system. For example, data related to Town Planning department module can be entered using the TDR Properties Entry screen. The entered data is stored in an Oracle 8i RDBMS module. This data is used subsequently to link with the plot maps so as to link with the property location and related information. Figure 3 illustrates the outputs from the system. For all 11 departments under corporation namely Water Supply, Sewerage Operations, Electricity, Town Planning, Roads and Building Construction, Health and Sanitation, Estate and Land Acquisition, Administration/ Encroachment & Misc. Taxation, Fire, Garden and Accounts, the paper and survey maps were digitized and the related attributes were entered into database. Attribute data were stored in the RDBMS (Oracle 8i) and spatial data in MapInfo. The system provides the users of the NMC, tools to query, update & analyze individual department information for taking prompt decisions. The users have options to view the maps on screen and retrieve information required for decision-making. The system generates consolidated reports periodically as required by the user.
