GIS Services
Global Image offers a variety of GIS services, core to our primary business. Below
are just some of those GIS related services:
Linking Treasury Systems to a GIS
Global Image GIS Consultants offers products and services to enable Local Authorities
(Municipalities) to access information from different departments. This information
is typically based on the following questions:
- Where is a specific property?
- What
is the land use and zoning of a property?
- Who is the owner?
- What is the property
and land value?
- What is the Balance of the Municipal Account on the property?
GIS
maps are produced indicating trends based on the information compiled from the Treasury
departments. These maps includes, among others, account payments, land use, zonings,
treasury tariff zones and pre-paid metered sites. All systems are developed on central
server, enabling the user to access data and GIS maps from an Intranet platform.

Integrated Geographical Information Systems (IGIS)
Under the prevailing circumstances in South Africa, local government is under continuous
pressure to give effect to government’s policies on reconstruction and development.
On the other hand the need to survive under ever increasing pressures on the internal
resource base of the municipality largely constrains the ability of local government
to sustain itself over the medium- and long-term.
A low economic growth rate at
provincial and national levels directly affects the prospects of local authorities
and their ability to satisfy the needs of their residents. Increased financial pressure
does not only requires good financial management, it stresses the importance of
optimising the income derived from the municipalities resource base. The current
practices at local authorities have lead to a situation where the different activities
of council do not necessarily function and operate on an integrated basis.
The aim
of this service is to enable Local Authorities to access information from different
departments. These departments include the Town Planning-, Building Control-, Engineering
and Treasury departments. All systems are developed on central server, enabling
the user to access data and GIS maps from an Intranet platform
Town Planning Scheme GIS
 Global Image developes customised Town Planning Geographical Systems, for the various
municipalities in South Africa and Namibia. The Town Planning GIS application, specifically
developed for the Town Planning Scheme, provides the officials within the Municipality
access to Land Use, Zonings and other relevant information about the property. The
application also enables the officials to generate custom zoning certificates, for
properties. This not only helps officials to access information quickly, but also
enables them to serve their ratepayers more effectively.
