Abstract


Paper  ArcIMS Helps the Development of Bogot�
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Andres Leonardo Castillo

This paper presents how ArcIMS can become a powerful tool for city planning, growth organizing, and giving the citizens an easy way to reach information about city land use restrictions. In the second semester of year 2000, Bogot�'s City council approved a new law that regulates the development of the capital. This law is also known as POT. It includes urban guidelines such as how many floors a building can have, what kind of business can be open in a neighborhood, where the government is planning to build a new highway, etc.

The main objective of this project is to allow the citizens to access, consult, and understand the POT through a Web site, which includes maps and tabular information as a real GIS site.
