Design of the urban land grading information system

Abstract

This paper discusses the urban land grading system based on the self-developed GIS software. The system establishes the system template, the relevant data structure and the empirical formulas of the affecting factor and economic data of land use. Besides, the system can calculate the service radius, sum and land grade automatically. Furthermore, it can do statistics and query on various land information and show the result of land grading with spatial and attribute data. This paper illustrates the result by giving an example of the commercial land grading of the urban area of Wuhan City by the urban land grading system. © 2002 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
