ISLAMABAD DASHBOARD - IMPLEMENTING E-GOVERNANCE USING SMART GEO-TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Islamabad Dashboard" materializes the concept of city dashboards; this platform has multiple GIS based services and applications to help the citizens better understand the city. There are 12 applications in total, deployed on a web interface, which are related to citizen's facilitation in one way or the other. Some of the applications are directly related to the city information in various aspects, like Islamabad Housing gives an overview of the land prices in various sectors of Islamabad and City Development application gives a visualization of ����he current, past and future development projects in the city. Likewise, Islamabad Greenery provides an outline of how Islamabad has evolved in the recent few years in terms of vegetation and forestry. Few more applications integrated in the dashboard are Islamabad Overview, ICER, Transit, Urban Sprawl and Weather. All of the dashboard applications are worthy in their respective domains but there is always the potential of feeding and processing more spatial data, which is ultimately going to escalate the worth and effectiveness of all the applications. The overall purpose of this project is to efficiently manage the city affairs and involve citizens and government for feedback on the situation of city matters and proficiently plan the future development. ii
