| Abstract | A geographical information system consists of physical
resources data, often extracted directly from existing maps,
aerial photographs, and tabula data . The geographical
information system for the Greater Bangkok Metropolis was
generated based on the available physical resources data and a grid coding technique. The input/output hardware/software interfaces involved the line-printer, Watanabe plotter, and PL/I,CP/CMS respectively. The main objective of this study
is to contract a simple geographical information system for the Greater Bangkok Metropolis for planners and managers of many resource oriented disciplines. Sources of data are obtained from office of City Planning , Royal Thai Survey Department , and Meteorological Department . The system code was produced to make it easy to complete the input forms for the Geographical Information System.
The off- line printer and watanabe plotter were used to
provide graphical output maps. However, it normally takes a
few hours for the result to be ready mainly because of its
non- interactive nature.
The results of this study, is a collection of geographical information for certain specified part of the Greater Bangkok area. This set of geographical information is a database consists of maps of different categories. These categories are small in number at the end of this study, but it is hoped that this study is only the starting
point for more future development in creating larger set of database which contains sufficient dynamic and static map data which enable solution to many interrelated problems of
the Bangkok area in the future. |
