Design and Implementation of Land Planning System:A Case Study in Guangdong Province

Land planning is a comprehensive strategic deployment of land resource development,use,harness and protection;it gives geographical expression to the economic,social,cultural and ecological policies of society.The traditional means of land planning management have no longer met the requirement of the information construction for land planning management.Geographical Information System is any system that captures,stores,analyzes,manages and presents data that is linked to location.GIS is a powerful tool of spatial analysis,and computer networks can convey information and share resource very quickly.As a result,considering the characteristics of land planning,combining with GIS and network technology,this paper presents a GIS-based information system on the planning management at provincial level.Taking the Land Planning Management Information System of Guangdong Province as an example,this paper introduces the design principle,system structure and system functional modules in detail.The system contains Browser/Server based land data reporting system and Client/Server based land evaluating and analyzing system.It can help to carry out land planning,enforce land planning monitoring,and give a resolution to conflicts in land planning.Furthermore,it integrates multi-source land information to build provincial,prefecture and county level land information.It constructs and updates geographical base map of land planning,and gives technical support for land planning management and decision making.Land Planning Management System of Guangdong Province is designed and built with the final completion of the project.The construction of the system improves planning level of Guangdong,and gives an important guarantee to land planning project of Guangdong.The system satisfies the needs of the planning and different user groups,and coordinates the conflicts of land planning and other planning.Meanwhile,it gives an example to other provinces to build land planning management systems of their own.In light of the results and limitations of this study,some directions are provided for future researches.
