Attribute table and attribute table of spatial layer
also query able. Figure: 6 show how query can be made
through using table of spatial on non-spatial. Figure: 7
show the 3D perspective of the eight hostel of the study
area using Arc Scene 10. 3D view of eight hostels has
been created. ArcScene also provide tools like
“indentify” and “HTML Popup” as identify showing in
result.
With the use of the „Attribute Query tool, the
Room of any hostel could be located by merely typing its
number. The GIS finds the room by bringing it to the
center of the screen and changing its color, so that it
appears different from the rest. The database could also
be queried and results of queries displayed on the screen.
Thus, if empty room of any floor of hostel is queried, all
the empty room of required hostel will be selected for
further operations.
Figure: 7 Query on First Storey (3D view)
Conclusion: This study proved that the administrative
process of hostel management become more easy and
efficient by using the GIS rather than traditional
softwares. GIS does not require the hi-tech knowledge
and equipment. It only requires the proper training of the
hostel management authorities of the universities. This
kind of application could be applied in any human
resources organization.
