Case study of the Bangkok Land Information System
In order to assess the GIS implementation in a developing country, a case study of the Bangkok Land Information System (BLIS) is presented. The initial development strategy, the extent to which it partially succeeded, the reasons why it has not progressed as fast as hoped, and the lessons this provides for other developing countries, are addressed in the case study. As a result of the experiences gained in the BLIS, suggestions are made on a successful approach to implementation of a spatial information infrastructure in developing countries. An important part of the suggested approach is to provide short term, useful and low cost outputs.
