An infrastructure management support system for Western Cape Nature Conservation Board

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates the use of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) todevelop an infrastructure management support system for the Western Cape NatureConservation Board (WCNCB). The primary goal was to design a system to help themanagers with their task of managing the infrastructure of a reserve. It involved thedevelopment and description, of a system in ArcView with the programming languageAvenue in conjunction with an Access application developed in Visual Basic forApplications. The end result was a system that can create maps of all the differentinfrastructure features with ArcView and use an open-ended Access application toinput data. The data are stored in an Access database. The thesis describes the userfunctionality of the system. Basic reporting facilities are provided and the data andsystem have the potential to provide essential reporting in future development. Theconclusion of this thesis is that GIS could fulfil the role of an InfrastructureManagement Support System for WCNCB.
