Web based GPS and GIS model for rural areas

The survey of villages of Punjab state was conducted in 19^th and 20^th century to collect the correct details of each land parcel and boundary of the villages. The cadastral maps developed at that time are still same and no updation has been incorporated into them. Our work is based on updation of these old cadastral maps with a case study of village Rahimpur. A comparative analysis among the cadastral map, digitized map and GPS survey is made to demonstrate the difference between actual boundaries of the village and its status in traditional revenue records system. This leads to conclusion that geographical revisions are required to be incorporated into the revenue record on regular basis. A web based GIS model through leaflet technology and content management system has been developed to co-ordinate between the district authorities and villagers. The GIS model contains various digitized cadastral map, residential, agriculture details and other GIS scenarios related to Physical bodies and utilities of the village. This will assist the government in decision making, disaster management and planning in rural areas of India.
