Exploiting WebGis technology to build an environmental database to support the environmental management of Ho Chi Minh city

Abstract

Recently, climate change and its effects have been significantly influenced by human life. Human activities, mostly from urbanization, are the main contributors to the pollution of soil, water, and air, which has been proven by several observations and studies. However, it is necessary to raise awareness, by including support from society as a whole, in order to maximize the efficiency of environmental campaigns. In this work, the geodatabase model of geographic information system (GIS) combined with the WebGIS system based on ArcGIS server technology was employed to build environmental database for Ho Chi Minh city, which will be used by the HCMSSED system (Ho Chi Minh city - system for sharing environmental database). This system supports the environmental administration with the management, updating, and sharing of environmental databases, as well as providing environmental information to the community quickly and efficiently.
