Abstract

The study describes a simple technique to formulate an automated land information system using PC based Arc/Info GIS. Thematic information on land use, land ownership, plot height, slope, infrastructure facilities, building structure and building construction setback rules are integrated together using GIS to monitor and regulate physical development of city using KDA as case study. The study also demonstrates the capability of GIS technique to identify the planned and unplanned development activities and delineates the probable waterlogging areas which would help the decision makers to take appropriate measures for development of the city at the right time.
