LGU: GIS AND MAPPING MODULE; LAND USE AND ZONING MODULE (BRIDGING GIS AND LAND USE STRATEGY USING DATA INTEGRATION CAPABILITIES, GIS-BASED MAPPING, AND LAND USE SCENARIO SYSTEM)

Abstract

The LGU GIS and Mapping Module integrates GIS technology with land use planning, serving as a tool for local governments to manage land use and zoning more efficiently. By combining data from various sources, the module enables the analysis of land use patterns, zoning regulations, and infrastructure networks, supporting evidence-based planning and decision-making. The module utilizes data integration capabilities to combine multiple data sources, providing a comprehensive view of land use patterns and zoning regulations. Through GIS-based mapping functionality, it generates interactive maps that visualize and analyze spatial data. These maps incorporate layers representing land use categories, zoning regulations, infrastructure, and environmental features, enhancing usability and improving planning strategies. The implementation of the LGU GIS and Mapping Module has shown a significant impact on land use and zoning strategies. By bridging GIS technology with land use planning, the module supports evidence-based decision-making, optimizes resource management, and promotes sustainable development. It serves as a valuable tool for local governments in creating well-planned communities that meet both present and future needs. The LGU GIS and Mapping Module offers an innovative approach to integrating GIS technology with land use planning. Its data integration capabilities, GIS-based mapping functions, and land use scenario system facilitate informed decision-making and responsible community development. The successful implementation of this module reflects the LGU’s commitment to leveraging technology for efficient land use and zoning practices.
