NLTB GIS/RS Update Date : 24th November 2010
Introduction • Brief History of GIS/RS at NLTB • Major Issues Facing NLTB • Process in going to ArcGIS • Current Implementation
GIS/RS History 1975: The first computer installed in NLTB to process rent and distribute income 1988:Computerised Land Information System (Mapping) using InfoMap 1997: Migrated LIS information to InfoCAD for ALTA Project 1999: LIS Section was decentralised 2002: MapInfo, GPS Rovers and Base Station installed at NLTB with Help of SOPAC 2004: MySAP Installed 2009: Replaced MySAP with LandSoft 2010: Spatial/GIS Project
Issues Being Faced At NLTB • Large number of different Systems being Used • Double Leasing • Identifying available Land for Leasing • Quality of GIS Data • Integration of GIS Data with LandSoft • Use of NLTBS GIS Data • Fourteen GPS rovers at NLTB are getting old or not functioning • Use of new Technology
Choice between MapInfo or ArcGIS Followed a thorough evaluation process in how the software would assist in addressing main issues • Choose ArcGIS because • Product Support • Upgrade Path • Integrating to LandSoft • Centralised Server • Creating KML’s • USP Students learning ArcGIS
Testing use of ArcGIS • Created KML’s to be used in Google Earth to look into Schedule A+B issue. • Lease - Arrears, Expired, Reassessment and by Lease Type • Identified area on ground with development but no lease boundary • Creating Land Owning Unit Maps
Addressing the Issues • Purchased Six Trible GeoXT Rovers • All Technical officers will be using ArcGIS • Centralised Data in new Spatial Server • Multiple levels of access for estate staff will assist with GIS data accuracy issues, double leasing and management of leases. • New NLTB website has link to available land • ArcMap files are linked to Reporting Server
Thoughts on the Process • GIS Being part of IT has significant benefits • Approval process in current environment is much more thorough so more time consuming • Technology from GIS/RS has really improved • GIS Functionality can replace a lot of old “IT Functionality”
Going Forward • Finish implementation of Spatial/GIS Solution • Look into use of Smartphones e.g. Blackberry, Iphone and Android Phones to assist with staff in field accessing Map Information • Look into Vehicle Tracking

ArcGIS Server • Plan was to create KML from ArcGIS and then let users on the counters access it from Google Earth • Issue was that a large number of users would have to have internet access • With ArcGIS Server able to publish map and include a layer to Bing Maps • Means all NLTB users will be able to access our published maps • Access maps with Web Pages and queries
