An Open Source Geographical Information System Tool for Province Administration

We introduce a new open source Geographical Information System tool for public administration. Our tool contains utilities for the geographical analysis of public governance that supply services to urban, suburban, and rural areas. We present an architecture that handles content heavy geographical image data. In order to achieve fast computation time and ensure security, we present a layered architecture. The tool exploits open source accelerators and interfaces. We also consider client-side development and provide an open source front-end web framework. We enabled spatial data generation and presentation utilities. The results denote that our cache usage speeds up the image creation time by 8x. Field experiences show that our Geographical Information System tool contributes to the province development strategies in a fast, reliable, and scalable form. The tool is still in use by Kütahya Province Administration.

İl Özel İdareleri için Yeni Bir Açık Kaynak Coğrafya Bilgi Sistemi Yazılım

Bu çalışmada İl özel İdare yönetimi için geliştirilen yeni bir açık kaynak Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi aracı tanıtılmaktadır. Araç kentsel, banliyö ve kırsal alanlara hizmet veren kamu yönetimine coğrafi analizi için yazılım öğeleri içermektedir. Bu amaçla resim verilerini işleyen bir mimari sunulmuştur. Hızlı hesaplama süresi elde etmek ve ağ güvenliğini sağlamak için katmanlı bir mimari kullanılmıştır. Araç açık kaynak hızlandırıcıları ve arayüzleri açık kaynaklı bir ön uç web çerçevesi sağlar. Mekansal veri üretimi ve sunum yardımcı programlarını sağlanmıştır. Sonuçta, önbellek kullanımlarımız resim oluşturma süresini 8 kat azaltmıştır. Alan deneyimleri, Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi aracımızın hızlı, güvenilir ve ölçeklenebilir bir biçimde il gelişim stratejilerine katkıda bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Araç halen Kütahya İl Özel İdaresi tarafından kullanılmaktadır.
