Government officials and staff need to be trained to use the GIS and explore its importance. The LIS prepared is a much needed tool for assisting with the planning and urban management operations. Conclusion The project work attempted to build a GIS based LIS for the local housing board colony, the lack of which has so far constrained the planning process for the development of the colony. It is hoped that this project will bring awareness among all on the potential use of GIS database and maps. The most beneficial amongst all the departments are A.P. Housing Board, District Administration, State Election Commission, and Town Planning. The future of this system lies on sharing the information to the public and to extent the study area to the whole MMC and its allies to build a comprehensive GIS system.
