Towards an Intelligent Integrated System for Urban Planning Using GIS and Cloud Computing

摘要

During the last few years, urban field has become more and more complex, as much as the growth of new technologies, new problems occurred. Therefore, urban territory planning organizations look ahead to find out sustainable alternatives, to meet human urban needs and to reach a high level of efficiency with the best employment of available resources. This paper proposes an Intelligent Integrated System using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Cloud Computing technology. The projected approach is based on: (i) the expand of the local GIS, by adding required information; (ii) the prediction of urban needs for a local scope, via analyzing GIS information; and (iii) the support of decisionmakers so as to fit suggested urban projects to appropriate areas, respecting constraints. This paper includes a new architecture combining the main components of the proposed system.
