Abstract
 Development of the City of Cape Town GIS Heritage Inventory Track: Archaeology Author(s): Clive James, Lorraine Gerrans Cape Town, the oldest city in South Africa, has since 1975 been the subject of a number of surveys to identify the cultural heritage resources of the city. In 2006 the City of Cape Town initiated a project to consolidate information from these surveys into a single GIS-based heritage inventory. As part of the project, a number of hand-drawn survey maps were scanned and georectified, before the information was captured on-screen into heritage feature classes. The feature classes have been incorporated into the City's Planning Geodatabase, which is linked to the City's electronic development control tracking systems. The Planning Geodatabase is also linked to the City's intranet-based Planning GIS viewer, which allows spatial heritage information to be viewed by planning and environmental management staff in all offices and by customers at the public counters.
