Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis presents the development of a Web-Based Geographic Information System (GIS) tailored for Urban Planning and Management. The rapid urbanization and associated challenges in managing urban areas necessitate the utilization of advanced technology like GIS to facilitate better decision-making processes. The research focuses on the design, development, and implementation of a user-friendly and efficient GIS platform that can be utilized by urban planners and managers for effective urban planning and management tasks. The study begins with a comprehensive review of existing literature in the field of GIS, urban planning, and management to establish a solid theoretical foundation. The review highlights the importance of GIS in urban planning and management, showcasing how it can enhance data visualization, analysis, and decision-making processes in urban environments. The research methodology employed in this study involves a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data collection methods include surveys, interviews, and case studies to gather insights from urban planning professionals and stakeholders. The data collected is analyzed using appropriate GIS tools and techniques to identify patterns, trends, and relationships relevant to urban planning and management. The findings of the study demonstrate the successful development and implementation of a Web-Based GIS system specifically tailored for urban planning and management tasks. The system incorporates features such as interactive maps, data visualization tools, spatial analysis capabilities, and decision support functionalities to aid urban planners and managers in making informed decisions. The discussion of findings delves into the practical implications of the developed GIS system, highlighting its potential impact on enhancing urban planning processes, improving resource allocation, and fostering sustainable urban development. The study also addresses limitations encountered during the development process and provides recommendations for future research and enhancements to the GIS system. In conclusion, the research underscores the significance of leveraging GIS technology in urban planning and management practices. The developed Web-Based GIS system offers a valuable tool for urban planners and managers to address the complex challenges of urbanization and promote sustainable development in urban areas. This thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a practical solution that integrates GIS technology with urban planning and management processes, ultimately aiming to create smarter and more sustainable urban environments.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Development of a Web-Based Geographic Information System for Urban Planning and Management" aims to address the growing need for efficient urban planning and management tools in the modern era. As urban populations continue to rise, the challenges faced by city planners and managers have become increasingly complex. Traditional methods of urban planning and management are often inefficient and time-consuming, leading to suboptimal outcomes and resource allocation. The utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in urban planning has shown great promise in enhancing decision-making processes, improving spatial analysis, and facilitating data visualization. By developing a web-based GIS specifically tailored for urban planning and management, this project seeks to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly platform that integrates various spatial data and tools to support sustainable urban development. The proposed system will enable city planners and managers to access real-time geospatial data, perform spatial analysis, generate visualizations, and collaborate with stakeholders more effectively. By leveraging the power of web technology, the system will be accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, promoting greater flexibility and convenience in urban planning activities. Key features of the web-based GIS will include interactive mapping functionalities, data integration capabilities, scenario modeling tools, and decision support mechanisms. These features will empower users to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and enhance urban development strategies in a timely and efficient manner. Overall, the project aims to contribute to the advancement of urban planning and management practices by harnessing the capabilities of GIS technology and web-based platforms. Through the development of this innovative system, urban stakeholders will have access to powerful tools that facilitate data-driven decision-making, improve spatial analysis, and promote sustainable urban development in the face of rapid urbanization and environmental challenges.
