Project

Livingstone Urban GIS Database

Citywide GIS data capture and database development covering roads, utilities, land parcels and public facilities.

Livingstone, Southern ProvinceCompleted July 2023

Objectives

Build a single authoritative spatial database for the city, replacing several inconsistent record sets.

Leave the local team able to maintain and extend the database without external support.

Scope

Field capture and digitising of roads, water and power infrastructure, land parcels and public facilities.

Database design, metadata documentation and staff handover training.

Methodology

Existing records were georeferenced and reconciled first, so field capture was targeted at what was missing or contradictory rather than repeating work already done.

Data was structured against a documented schema from the outset, which is what makes later maintenance possible.

Equipment

  • GNSS receivers
  • Field data collectors
  • GIS software

Deliverables

  • Structured citywide GIS database
  • Thematic map series
  • Metadata, data dictionary and training handover
