Abstract


Paper  ArcIMS Helps the Development of Bogotá
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, Bogotá'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.
