An Integrated Information Service Platform for Wetland Based on WebGIS

Wetland resource management is an important task in the protection and utilization of wetlands. Given the environmental interests in these wetlands, there is urgent need for a centralized repository and mechanism to share geospatial data, information and maps of wetlands. Our objective is to develop an interactive WebGIS and geodatabase for wetlands providing mapping and data services. This paper represents an integrated information service platform based on WebGIS using spatial statistics and analysis method based on ArcGIS Server to manage and utilize wetland resources. The system adopts the Browser / Server architecture, dot NET framework, and ArcGIS Server component to improve the performance of current system. The functions of this system are map distributing, query and display, spatial statistics and analysis, scientific education, remote management, and wetland resource sharing. It has much superiority like good compatibility, convenient data maintenance, high efficiency, and code security, etc. The system scalability and database stability have been improved greatly. Practical application shows that the system can fully satisfy the requirement of wetland resource management and achieves expected goals.
