The Geographical Information System used by MEPA
Introduction
The aim of this assignment was to approach a local organisation that is making use of some kind of Decision Support System. A Decision Support System involves any software that is specifically designed to help people at the different levels of the company, usually below the executive level, to make decisions. ... MEPA base most of their work on a Geographical Information System (GIS). A GIS is a system that combines layers of information about a place to give a better understanding of that place. The layers of information found on these systems depend upon the purpose for which they are used. ...
How does this Information System support the company?
This system is of great use to most of the employees of MEPA. ... All three commissions base their decisions upon the different information provided by the other commissions making up the Planning Authority. ... Any information that is found is stored in a much easier way on the map available on the system. By means of this system much less time is spent in writing long reports and documents. ... All the information is at the user’s desktop in just one file and in just one image, a way by which data is easier read and understood.
