| Abstract | The traditional and age-old system of intelligence and criminal record maintenance has failed to live up to the requirements of the existing crime scenario. Manual processes neither provide accurate, reliable and comprehensive data round the clock nor does it help in trend prediction and decision support. It also results in lower productivity and ineffective utilization of manpower. The solution to this ever-increasing problem lies in the effective use ofInformation Technology. Geographic Information System (GIS) GIS plays an important role in crime mapping and analysis. Response capabilities often rely on a variety of data from multiple agencies and sources. The ability to access and process information quickly while displaying it in a spatial and visual medium allows agencies to allocate resources quickly and more effectively. This proposed study will examine crime situation in Hyderabad municipality using questionnaire and GIS to elicit information from the public and the police. It has been seen that crime is on the rise and that the police are handicapped in managing it because of the obsolete methods and resources at their disposal. It also seen that members of the public have no confidence in the police force as majority do not report cases for fear of exposure to the informant to the criminal. In the light of these situations, the study looks at the possibility of utilizing GIS for effective management of crime in Hyderabad in India. This option was explored by showing the procedural method of creating 1) digital landuse map showing the crime locations, 2) crime geo-spatial database, and 3) spatial analysis such as query and buffering in GIS environment and GNSS. The probable outcome of study will be crime hotspots, areas deficient in security outfit and areas requiring constant police patrol. In the Present Research Various instances that occur in Hyderabad municipality region since from the past five years from 2014 to 2018was taken and make the hotspot maps and prepare a buffer suitable analysis for roads & police stations can be very helpful for developing a understanding of crime locations and zones to normal people and police officials. Nowaday's urban cities have gained much attention due to the complexity in urban growth. By considering the hotspot locations effect of crime or monitor the urban areas can be easily done. In the Present survey, we have taken Five main crime instances that majorly occur in Hyderabad municipality region consists of Ordinary Theft, Cheating, Simple hurt, Hit Run Homicide and locate their positions on map. Among all the crimes ordinary theft was most commonly seen among the five. The work can be helpful for the police officials to identify high potential areas for crime occurring since the research was done on last five years it can be some extent helpful for the prediction of future crime locations. Which helps to reduce increasing crime rate in Hyderabad |
