 GIS Approach to Shoreline Management Using MapObjects and MS Access Track: Application Development Author(s): Rose Dopsovic, Michael Franks In efforts to streamline and standardize the current business process of managing shoreline permits within the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, a relational database, utilizing MapObjects technology was created. In the past, the USACE did not release any standards to ensure area resource offices were collecting accurate and complete permitting information. This paper presents the process used by the Spatial Data Branch to design and distribute a user-friendly, Microsoft Access database that enables non-GIS users to quickly retrieve data through both spatial and attribute queries, without requiring a license to high-end ArcGIS software. The ultimate goal of the centralized database is to allow any authorized user to access, create and modify database information and view a geographical representation of permitting datasets, such as permit location, imagery, and shoreline allocation polygons, all within an attached simple GIS interface.
