Implementation of Mapserver UMN and effective Open Source Software for spatial management of Land Ex
Geographical data services, via internet, require proper management of spatial and non-spatial data. GIS helps in effective analysis and management of spatial data. Spatial data attributes can be efficiently managed using open source based Object Oriented Relational Database Management System (RDBMS).
Target of this project was the development of a Web-based system by integrating the Mapserver (UMN), PHP, Apache Web Server, Openlayers, PostGIS and PostgreSQL Object-Relational data-base by adopting a Web based client/server environment.
The final system provides a web-based platform for Land expropriation’s procedures in Greece and their implementation at the construction of public works and land management in open pit mining. The end users are specialists, planning agencies, citizens, engineers and private entities. To access the spatial data by the user, a Web browser and Intranet or Internet only, is needed.
