Enterprise GIS Solution for Census Operation: Case Study From KSA Track: Census and Geodemographics Author(s): Aymen Solyman Census operation is a very important event in the history of a nation. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Centeral Department of Statistics (CDS) conducts census operations every 10 years. The strategic plans of CDS, that census information must be shared by all divisions within the organization to support mandated functions and also to supply other ministries and organizations in KSA with this information. Data produced by census is a primary source of information needed for effective development, planning, and monitoring of population, services distribution, and socio economic. Taking into consideration that many potential users of spatial information don't know about GIS technology, the development of an Enterprise GIS solution would serve two crucial purposes. Firstly, it would allow the users to operate the system without having to go the underlying intricacies of GIS and DBMS technology. Secondly, it would allow sharing of information and technical experience between a wide range of users.
