MAP-BASED LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM PLANNED *****

THE BUILDINGS AND LANDS DEPARTMENT IS PLANNING TO START WORK EARLY NEXT YEAR ON SETTING UP A MAP-BASED LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM.

THE DEPARTMENT'S DIRECTOR, MR CHAU CHAM-SON, SAID THIS TODAY (WEDNESDAY) WHEN OPENING A ONE-DAY WORKSHOP AND SEMINAR ON SUCH SYSTEMS AT THE HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC.

MR CHAU SAID HIS DEPARTMENT HAD EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUIRED FOR ESTABLISHING A MAP-BASED LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM AND HE POINTED OUT THAT AN INTER-DEPARTMENTAL STEERING COMMITTEE HAD BEEN SET UP IN 1982.

HE SAID HIS DEPARTMENT PROPOSED TO IMPLEMENT THE SYSTEM IN THREE STAGES:

(1)

(11)

(11)

INSTALLATION OF THE CENTRAL (HEADQUARTERS) SYSTEM.

DIGITISATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE HONG KONG AND KOWLOON SUB-SYSTEMS.

DIGITISATION FOR AND INSTALLATION OF THE NEW TERRITORIES SUB-SYSTEMS.

+ INITIALLY THE SYSTEM WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF THE BUILDINGS AND LANDS DEPARTMENT ALONE, BUT IT WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH THE SCENARIO IN MIND THAT IT WILL TAKE UP THE ROLE OF A CORE SYSTEM IN A NETWORK OF SYSTEMS AMONG A NUMBER OF GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, AND IDEALLY FOR THE UTILITY COMPANIES WHICH RELY ON LAND-RELATED INFORMATION, MR CHAU SAID.
