An alternative methodology for optimizing the data input for cadastral systems
Abstract
Nowadays, most of the city governments that have started the process of implementing a GIS use two types of database: one for the cadaster system and another for GIS. Therefore, a lot of time is spent, on both systems databases updating. So that, the cadaster system database is usually priorized, once tax collection is necessary for the city expenditure. Manipulating this data for different purposes, within only one database, it’s extremely effective, because the data may be updated easilier, besides not presenting duplicity. This paper presents a set of applications developed, having as the main objective the integration of the cadaster database, implanted for property tax and other taxes calculus, with a relational database, which may be used for analysis in strategical planning. The importance of such work is in the fact of the possibility for availability of systematized information with more efficiency and at a lower cost. Besides that, the methodology developed will provide better conditions for periodic cadaster updating. This is effective through of the use of an optical reading device of the cadaster information reports. Such procedure will naturally reduce cost, enabling the operation. The cadaster information being updated in short periods of time, increases the reliability of the system, providing more confidence for information availability, besides amplify the opportunity of offering services through the internet.
