3 Introduction To provide something better than the existing should be the main concern of a planner. Since long time man has studied the world using models such as maps and globes. From the last 3 decades it has become possible to put these models into computers along with the tools to analyze them in the form of Geographical Information systems

4 Geographical Information System Geographical Information system is a system of hardware and Software that supports the capture, management, manipulation, analysis and display of geographic information Geographical information system technology has developed so rapidly over the past two decades that it is now accepted as an essential tool for the effective use of geographic Information The recent and widespread introduction of the GIS has created a sudden need for users of geographic information to become knowledgeable about this technology

5 Introducing the software: Environmental research system institute located in New York, USA as the vendor of products like ArcView, ArcInfo and ArcGIS has created wonders in the world of GIS ArcView ArcEditor ArcInfo In the current project I have worked with Arc View. ArcView is a comprehensive, integrated, scalable system designed to meet the needs of a wide range of GIS users.

6 GIS Database: A GIS database includes data about geographic features: Location (spatial data) Shape (spatial data) point, line, polygon Attributes (tabular data) e.g., population. characteristics Map overlay

7 Area of Study King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals is located in Dhahran, between the headquarters of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (SAUDI ARAMCO) and the Dhahran Air Base.

8 The campus is situated near the Arabian Gulf at a distance of about seven Kms from the town of Al-Khobar The port city of Dammam, capital of the Eastern Province, is only 20 kilometers away and the oil refinery at Ras Tanura is 70 kilometers from the campus Background Information about the area of study The academic buildings are located on a 100-foot mountain which forms the main attraction The Academic section is large arena with many facilities.

9 Methodology The base Map of KFUPM Academic-campus was digitized and worked on with. The area of study is classified in to four layers, classifying various forms of its services. The basic purpose of working specifically on Academic was the existence of the academic campus as a separate entity in itself. The academic-campus map was worked for its different areas of Academics, Activities, Administrative, pounds and Services. Along with it layers for Greenery and Parking were added to give more detail, aesthetic view to the representation.

11 The attribute table was created and data was entered in it for the relevant features Data includes Area, Perimeter, Building number, type, no of floors.. of each Building. Due to lack of adequate data, analysis to the desired extend could not be maid. Classification was done depending upon the requirement

18 Scope of study: In further to this study and representation, the entire KFUPM campus can be represented, classified in to various forms of services and utilities. Similarly by providing required attribute details, major analysis can be performed.
