Abstract

Over the past decade, the interest in land and geographic information systems (LIS/GIS) has been overwhelming. Surveyors, geographers, engineers, landscape architects, environmentalists, planners, and professionals from a number of other related disciplines have embraced this technology and begun to build information systems to assist them in their work. In the United States, the development of integrated information systems has focused to a large extent on the local level where most land-related information is acquired and maintained. This has been particularly true for highly urbanized areas (cities) where most of the information is related to the property parcel.
