    The Bangkok Land Information System Project: designing an integrated land information system for a large city in the developing world
    Williamson, Ian P. ; Mathieson, Garry ( 1992)
    International aid and lending organisations worldwide are increasingly recognising the importance of improving the operation and management of cities in developing countries. A key activity to improve these cities is land information management, however the methods adopted in the developed countries are not necessarily applicable to those which are less developed. This paper reviews an important and innovative approach to developing a land information system for the City of Bangkok. The Bangkok Land Information System (BLIS) Project is a cooperative effort between five key authorities in the City; this cooperation in itself is almost unique. The paper reviews the operation of and strategy behind the design of the two year BLIS project and highlights some of the early lessons.
