DEVELOPMENT OF GEODATABASE FOR JNEC CAMPUS

Abstract

Development of geodatabase is crucial for Jigme Namgyel Engineering College (JNEC) enabling data storage capabilities in terms of spatial and non-spatial information. As a result, the study was aimed to develop a GIS-based geodatabase of JNEC to store both spatial and non-spatial information about the college infrastructure for efficient future retrieval through online WebGIS. Traditional surveying techniques were adopted to collect the geospatial data through field surveying, while the survey questionnaires were deployed to collect the non-spatial data from the residents of JNEC campus to integrate with the geospatial information’s collected through field surveying. The updated geodatabase of JNEC campus includes information of buildings (i.e., residential, hostels, recreational, academic, and administrative), electric poles, lamp posts and transformer details. This study enables us on easy retrieval of the past and update the future upcoming infrastructures for references and for the GIS, Geodatabase, WebGIS, geospatialdevelopment of any authentic reports.
