2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Building Spatial Information Infrastructure for Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Tribhuvan Pradhan Since 1998, the city has taken leadership in city development. Metropolitan has overall responsibility over urban spatial database development in response to the citizens' demands. The city has to not only respond to the citizens as a local government body and deliver services, but also disseminate GIS information. The methods of providing efficient urban service deliveries to the people simplifying decision-making are not implemented to the full extent because of a lack of basic spatial information infrastructure applied to complex city management tasks. Based on this concept, ISC and KMC are building a spatial information infrastructure to support in the planning and service delivery functions of KMC. This paper will outline applications and elements of the spatial information infrastructure being developed for the city.
