3. Integrate conventional data sources with modern data sources to develop
GIS databases.

4. Develop design standards for USIS and NUDB&I on methodology,
database, data exchange format and protocols etc.

5. Develop suitable applications/automated integration techniques in GIS to
provide inputs to Master/ Development/ Zonal Planning and Utilities
management.

6. Create a town level (pilot basis) repository of urban database through
National Urban Databank and Indicators (NUDBI), which would also enable
to assist development of urban indicators and urban indices by the Local
Urban Observatory (LUO) for National Urban Observatory (NUO).

7. Build capacity among town planning professionals at State and Local
Body level for the use of modern data sources and GIS techniques.

8. Decentralize data generation, storage analysis and retrieval at various
levels of urban planning.

Conventional inputs used for the project:

Administrative Boundary data: administrative boundary consisting of
different administrative limits such as district, taluka, village, cantonment,
wards, forest, sanctuary, national parks etc.

Town Boundary data: Each of the NUIS towns/ UA’s were comprised
of an urban core spread over a few sq. km. areas and an extensive
urbanisable area around the periphery of the urban core. The urban core
areas generally confirm to the municipal limits, whereas the urbanisable
boundaries follow the town / City Development Area boundary or the Master
Plan/Development Plan boundary. It would show the recent boundary details
like the Municipal extent, Cantonment and Development Area limits,
Planning Zones and Ward boundaries.

The settlement and village location and names were collected from
data sources like Digital topomaps, district census reports and gazetteer
documents.
