Research On Campus Housing Management System Based On GIS

In recent years, with the rapid development of information, network and3S technology, geographic information system (GIS) becomes very common in more and more fields. Web technique promotes GIS to develop quickly, forming the current hottest Web GIS and broadening the function and applied range of GIS. It makes applied GIS function of the traditional stand-alone desktop send to thousands of households by the network, contributing to the public application.Most of things in the world have their own spatial characteristics, buildings and structures at school are no exception. However, at present, the housing management system in many universities and colleges still remains in the stage of Management Information Systems (MIS), it can only manage the housing attribute data, so the housing spatial characteristics cannot be highlighted. With the promotion of informalization in universities and colleges and appearance of digital campus, the visual demand on housing construction becomes more and more apparent. However, the appearance of GIS will need this demand, which can organically combine the spatial characteristics of objects with their attribute information and vividly present the objects with pictures.The housing management GIS on Hanzhong campus of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine is selected in this dissertation as the example, and the application of GIS technique in this system is emphasized to discuss. At first, research background and significance are described, and then the basic concepts, development tendency and characteristics of GIS and Web GIS as well as the development platform of commonly-used Web GIS at home and abroad are introduced; then, some important techniques involved in the system are illustrated, such as spatial database, spatial database engine, AJAX technique. Google Maps API and so on; at last, by combining the general design, function demand and database design of system, the newest ArcGIS10series software (including AcrGIS, Server10and AcrGIS Desktop10) invented by American ESRI company is adopted to design the map for Hanzhong campus, release GIS service and apply Net Web ADF and Visual Studio based on ArcGIS Server to develop environment in order to promote web development of housing management GIS and MIS. Meanwhile, the spatial database engine from ESRI Company is used to manage the spatial and attribute date stored in relational database (SQL Server2005is adopted in this system). Finally, the system issues the spatial information and attribute information of the buildings on Hanzhong campus in B/S mode to realize campus map browse, spatial query, attribute query and attribute lookup of housing construction information; besides, it also manages room information of housing construction inside the campus.
