Public works and infrastructure-based development are the key to living quality. Serving as an authority for carrying out the construction and maintenance of all public works information in the Emirates of Fujairah, Fujairah Public Works & Agriculture Department manage huge files to collate information about local roads and infrastructure.

To achieve the aim of effectively sharing massive amount of geospatial information of public works with different departments, Fujairah Public Works and Agriculture Department developed a GIS e-Map system to store, edit, and share reliable spatial data of roads for supporting the Fujairah government in making informative decisions and policies.

In this project, a new transformation model was created to integrate the input GIS layers extracted from the old AutoCAD files with an ERP system to systematically set up and display up-to-dated data. Therefore, the public works personnel can consolidate new data sources to current system architecture and develop an advanced query tool for helping extract the detailed information from the ERP system.

The overall functionality of the system includes Basic Map Manipulation, Advanced Query, Reporting, and Measurement of features. The system delivers quicker response, offers better options to integrate standard SHP files with different ERP systems and other database formats, as well as allowing the department to use existing proprietary software along with SuperGIS Desktop to edit GIS layers.

In addition to helping schedule a job on specified intervals to update recent changes made in ERP system to the GIS layers, the e-map application offers several options to select data structure of output tables without altering the existing ERP system tables. Users can therefore obtain the output GIS layers with specified details quickly.

On the server side, a JavaScript-based Web application is applied to publish maps, GIS data and services. As a result, the public users in Fujairah can easily view, query, add, and manage the data via browsers to effortlessly plan the construction of new roads or renewals of existing roads and generate reports of different road projects.

The Web application security is also enhanced with the custom authentication function to help the administrators determines whether the authenticated user is authorized to access Web resources. With the development of the GIS e-Map application, the government officials are empowered to formulate future plans meticulously for different public work projects in the emirate of Fujairah.

Located in the plains of southwestern Taiwan, Chiayi City is famous for its three great national scenic areas surrounded with high hills and sufficient water resources. Also, the high-speed rail development makes it more convenient for people to travel to this city for holidays.

Supergeo cooperated with Chiayi City Government to build the a GIS website and GIS travel applications for Apple users to stimulate tourism growth and therefore create more local employment opportunities through government assistance programs of a music festival, handicraft souvenirs, agricultural products, etc.

This project aims to assist local stores that match specified conditions in collecting coordinates of stores, performing Nearest Neighbor Analysis, and using spatial data to promote the culture of local traditional industries.

To achieve this, a GIS website and mobile apps were developed to record the data about human resource management, and construction of aesthetics for the living space and then formulate creative marketing campaigns to increase jobs and accelerate urban economic revitalization in the City.

The website established with SuperGIS Server includes front-end and back-end platforms. The back-end platform enables administrators to easily upload and manage data usage, as well as showing the audited data on the front-end platform for query.

The two iOS travel apps integrate with PR (Pattern Recognition) and AR (Augmented Reality) technologies, allowing Apple users to find and show the locations of nearby stores through iPhone or iPad. Also, Google Map Display was adopted as the basemap to diversify and facilitate utility of apps’ functions for better route planning. Chiayi Travel Guide App allows users to apply a variety of functions such as tourist attraction query tool and store recommendations to obtain useful travel information for better itinerary planning.

In the near future, SuperGIS Network Server will be employed to perform network analysis, assisting administrators in obtaining results that match with the real-time environment and maintaining network data through management tools. Besides, new Android travel apps will be also created to make travel planning more efficient and easier using up-to-date information and interactive maps.

Supergeo Technologies, a leading global provider of complete GIS software and solutions, announced that SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a, the newest desktop GIS software, supports Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO), Pakistan for helping the management make informative decisions on a variety of rights-based civil activities and democratic programs.

SPO is founded to strengthen and support local community organizations and public interest institutions for protecting basic human rights and handling with governance-related issues. GIS help the organization better visualize, organize, and analyze geospatial information that can be applied to plan and promote democratic programs at all levels.

Featuring the advanced data processing function and improved manipulation and editing tools, SuperGIS Desktop 3.1a enables the SPO personnel to manage spatial information in a digital mapping environment, process, query, and view massive amount of GIS data efficiently, ensuring that all users can freely retrieve needed data between past and future.

Delivering quality services, professional technical support, and reasonable price, SuperGIS software is ideal for fulfilling users’ growing demands for reliable geospatial solutions in Pakistan. Working in collaboration SPO would not only help Supergeo penetrate into the new market, but also to continually increase its brand awareness in South Asia.
