gis based hostel management system for punjab ... - Paas.com.pk

Pakistan Journal of Science (Vol. 65 No. 1 March, 2013)
For six of these layers, an attribute table was attached for
each. In the case of the building layer, first, second and
third storey layers were linked with attribute table.
The kind of data required could be grouped into
two types – the spatial data and the attribute data. The
spatial data include the spatial distribution of the various
Hostels, path ways, trees, Lawns etc within the hostel.
The attribute data on the other hand consists of specific
attributes of each object, relevant to the efficient
management of the hostel students. For instance, the
attributes of each hostel building would include number
of rooms, name of student living occupier, program,
session and department of occupier.
Creation of Geodatabase:
Figure: 2 Entity Relation diagram
Figure 2 show the tables of the Geodatabase and their
relationship with one another.
Following seven tables are created in geodatabase.
o Building Food prints (Geometry)
o First floor (Geometry)
o Second floor (Geometry)
o Third floor (Geometry)
o Path ways (Geometry)
o
o
Trees (Geometry)
Student table
First six tables are geometry information as well
as tabular information. After creation the tables all the
layers are digitized. ArcMap 10 is used to digitize the all
layers. Adding the satellite and scanned image of
university first six layers were digitized and then attribute
regarding the features were interred in the layers. Student
table is non spatial table unlike other table ,it holds the
information of the student i.e. name , father name, class,
session, registration ID, department ,subject and so on.
First, second and third spatial layers are showing
the first, second, third storey respectively of the building
of hostel. Each storey has a space id which is unique in
each floor. This space id is used to relate with the student
table, in this way all floors of all hostel included in this
application are linked with the student table.
