| Database records represent the second basic component of the GIS. These computer files contain a wealth of information about the city. Data such as property ownership, assessments, legal descriptions, land use, zoning, population and demographics, natural resources, utilities, building activity, and literally hundreds of other pieces of data are available through the system. |  |

The maps and databases, when joined together in a computer environment, form the foundation of the GIS and provides the base from which vast amounts of information can be stored, maintained, and analyzed to the fullest extent. The system provides an opportunity to eliminate many space-consuming paper files and records. In addition, information necessary to answer citizen inquiries can be retrieved more quickly and will be consistently up-to-date. |
