GIS Implementation Strategy in Oman: Past, Present and Future
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This paper addressed the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in the Sultanate Oman; its implementation strategy and process constrains. It also suggested ways of enhancing its current strategy in the Sultanate of Oman. GIS was initiated in the Sultanate of Oman in late 1980s. The initial GIS implementation strategy was introduced to define the public originations requirements and then to plan and introduce a National Land Information System (NLIS). Several efforts and works have been done since the initiative strategy particularly by the Supreme Committee of Town Planning (SCTP). The implementation progress has fluctuated due to several reasons. To maximise the value of GIS in Oman, the implementation strategy needs to be reviewed and modified in order to meet the old and new objectives of GIS; and to go with the new trend of the technology. Therefore, this research aims to: (i) review the current strategy of GIS implementation; (ii) identify the implementation process constraints; and (iii) enhance the current strategy of GIS implementation in Oman.
