An Open Source Geographical Information System Tool for Province Administration
Abstract
We
introduce a new open source Geographical Information System tool for public
administration. Our tool contains utilities for the geographical analysis of
public governance that supply services to urban, suburban, and rural areas. We
present an architecture that handles content heavy geographical image data. In
order to achieve fast computation time and ensure security, we present a
layered architecture. The tool exploits open source accelerators and
interfaces. We also consider client side development and provide an open source
front-end web framework. We enabled spatial data generation and presentation
utilities. Results denote cache our utilizations speeds up the picture
generation time by 8X. Field experiences show that our Geographical Information
System tool contributes to the province development strategies in a fast,
reliable, and scalable form. The tool is still on use by ********* Province Administration.
