Abstract

The GIS technology evolves rapidly to encompass different domains of the real world from the simplest applications to manage a series of data for determining some statistic results, to the huge and complex systems serving to analyze and make decisions. Critical efforts have been made to improve the computer engineering goals and the designing approaches to build GIS applications. To every problem are associated specific GIS solutions such as the multipurpose cadastral information system, which needs reliable management to enhance land management, land ownership administration, land resources assessment, network infrastructure studies, and land valuation. The structure of cadastral information with their large database is not easy to manage using conventional methodologies. The need of introducing the object-oriented approach is very significant, because of their ability to integrate textual and geographical features and to deal with their various aspects in a seamless manner. This paper has the aim to describe a method based object oriented approach to conceive a multipurpose cadastral information system. Two major reasons are considered. Firstly, the GIS technology becomes increasingly sophisticated including new software packages that support the OOA concepts. Secondly, this new approach will be a good beginning to implement an integrated multi-purpose cadastral system based GIS. As a result of this study, one can find that the Object Oriented approach provides powerful tools to express suitable analysis and modeling of the real world. In terms of implementing phases, one can require involving the Unified Modeling Language to provide best solutions for implementation issues.
