Geo-enabled Field Survey for Municipal Property Verification and GIS Mapping

Infoz has developed a mobile application and administration system to streamline the process of verifying and mapping properties within the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) limits. This solution leverages geospatial technology and mobile data collection for faster, more transparent, and accurate surveying.

Scenario:

The AMC requires a comprehensive and up-to-date record of all properties within its jurisdiction. This includes validating existing registered properties (approximately 200,000) and capturing data for unregistered properties. Additionally, the AMC aims to create a Geographic Information System (GIS) base map encompassing key physical features and property boundaries.

Solution:

Infoz’s mobile application and administration system address these needs through the following functionalities:

1. Geo-enabled Field Surveys: Field surveyors utilize the mobile app on handheld devices to collect data for each property. The app captures the user’s location using GPS, ensuring accurate geospatial data for each property.
2. Data Collection: The app facilitates the collection of around 60 data points for each property, potentially including:
   • Property address
   • Building footprint
   • Construction details
   • Municipal-defined property attributes
3. Drone Image Integration:
   • High-resolution drone imagery is used for comprehensive geospatial coverage.
   • The mobile app allows surveyors to overlay digitized KMZ files onto the drone images for enhanced clarity and verification during field surveys.
4. Data Validation: The captured property data is synchronized with the central administration system, enabling real-time validation against existing registered properties. This process identifies discrepancies and facilitates data correction.
5. GIS Base Map Generation: The collected geospatial data, including property boundaries and physical features, is used to generate a comprehensive GIS base map of the AMC area. This map serves as a valuable resource for urban planning, infrastructure development, and property management.

Benefits:

• Faster Data Collection: Geo-enabled mobile data collection streamlines the surveying process compared to traditional paper-based methods.
• Improved Accuracy: GPS location tracking and data validation processes ensure the accuracy of collected property information.
• Transparency and Traceability: The digital workflow provides a clear audit trail for data collection and verification.
• Enhanced Decision Making: The comprehensive GIS base map empowers the AMC with a powerful tool for informed decision making regarding urban planning, resource allocation, and property management.

Conclusion:

Infoz’s mobile application and administration system offer a robust solution for the AMC’s property verification and GIS mapping requirements. The geo-enabled field survey approach promotes efficiency, accuracy, and transparency while contributing to the development of a valuable geospatial resource for the city.
