Abstract
Remote Sensing and GIS play very important role in creating future smart cities. Facilities management being an important component of smart cities assimilates infrastructural functions and processes. Moreover it defines scheduled approaches toward the optimization of resources, in turn, promoting efficiency and simplifying complex decisions. This study aims at developing a better facility management system at Delhi University North campus by utilizing an integrated approach of information technology and GIS. The case study pertains to meet the objectives like collection of information on various facilities (viz., Banks and ATM, Photocopy and Printout shops, Food Joints, Health Care and Medical shops, Hostels, etc.) in the Delhi University North Campus and collating that information to develop the facility management system in a GIS framework. For this study, high resolution satellite imageries of QuickBird (60 cm resolution), EICHER Delhi City Map and Google Earth have been used. The heads-up digitization has been performed for feature extraction (e.g., road network, canteen, Railway Reservation centre, parks, shopping centres, etc.) from the very high resolution satellite imagery and ArcPAD mobile GIS has been used to perform the survey related to facilities in the campus. The mapped facilities have been brought into a GIS-based network analysis to find out basic closest facilities, optimized route identification, service area identification, origin-distance matrix etc. The mapped facilities have been then published using open-source ArcGIS Explorer toolbox for common users.
