| Abstract | Typically, a municipal infrastructure requires processing, evaluation and mitigation plans on the basis of some significant spatial data with respect to various rules, factors and constraints. An electronic data management system can be a good solution, but its implementation can be expensive and tedious. These problems needs to be addressed with a web-based GIS applications that can manage, query and envision different noteworthy and upgraded essential data concerning with the Gulshan-e-Iqbal water pipelines network. The possible available paper maps and information of underground pipelines was collected from the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB). A geo database was developed using the information of pipelines such as: network type, pipelines diameter, pipelines material, pipelines age, and water sources currently catering the study area. The data was shared onto the application by creating service connection. This application was developed using Adobe Flex builder and Arc GIS viewer for Flex. The results obtained in the application were displayed as GIS maps, tables concisely and widgets/tools – dealing with the data shared on the application. The web-based GIS application presented in this thesis is an improved way to interact with large amount of spatial data, and even asses the risks associated with the current water pipelines network with less technological requirements. |
