Almost any public-sector task employing a computer can be accomplished more efficiently with a variety of tools rather than any single one. Basic tools include word processing, spreadsheet, statistics, and database-management programs. Beyond these, Web authoring software, presentation software, graphics, project-planning and -management software, decision analysis, and geographic information systems can be helpful depending upon the job at hand.

Across the public sector, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis are increasingly ubiquitous when making decisions involving people and places. However, historically GIS has not been prevalently applied to the various types of impact assessment. As such, this paper presents findings from a survey conducted in 2011 of 100 local authorities in England to examine how embedded GIS, spatial analysis and visualisation practices are to the process of conducting impact assessments. The results show that despite obvious advantages of applying GIS in these processes, applications employing basic techniques are at best sporadic, and where advanced methods are implemented, these in almost all instances are conducted by external contractors, thus illustrating a significant GIS under capacity within the sampled local authorities studied.

Database Management System

The chapter presents the geographic information systems. A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that allows various sources to gather and organize, manage, analyze and combine, develop, and present geographically located information contributing in particular to the management from space. A geographic information system is also a database management system for entering, storing, retrieving, querying, analyzing, and displaying localized data. It is a set of data located in space, structured so that it can conveniently extract syntheses useful to the decision.

RESUMO Um sistema gerenciador de banco de dados pode possuir uma extensão de um banco de dados voltada para o armazenamento e recuperação de metadados baseados em objetos abstratos. O objetivo deste trabalho é alcançar um entendimento melhor dos requisitos básicos para um gerenciador de metadados. operar satisfatoriamente, além de testar ao máximo um modelo de armazenamento avaliando o seu desempenho, diante dos diversos tipos de dados geográficos existentes. O trabalho aponta a necessidade de se conhecer melhor o desempenho de sistemas já desenvolvidos, ou em desenvolvimento, com objetivos de gerenciar metadados geográficos digitais. Palavras-chave: Sistemas de Informação Geográfica, Geoprocessamento, Geografia, Bancos de Dados, Computação.ABSTRACT Database management systems can be design with an extended database in order to store and retrieve metadata based on abstract objects. The target of this paper is a better understanding of basic requirements to this database management system operates satisfactorily, above all to test at best a model to store, analysing your performance, in front of several types of existing geographic data. The aim of this paper is to show some needs to know developed systems performance, or in developing, which purpose is digital geographic metadata management. Keywords: Geographic Information Systems, Geoprocessing, Geography, Databases, Computation.
