Abstract  
The idea of basis is the present condition and developing trend of cadastral management Valcea. The paper 
expatiates on the construction status of the Cadastral Management Information System on Integration of 
Urban and Rural area of Valcea. For a long time, urban and rural area is managed separately, and their 
database is established respectively, so it's very hard to update data synchronously. These problems can't 
be  solved  until  cadastral  management  information  system  is  established,  which  also  makes  cadastral 
product  accord  with  new  land  classification  system  of  urban  and  rural  integration.  Several  issues  are 
discussed: the objective, idea, principle of system design, the hardware and software environment, overall 
framework design, cadastral database structure design and function design. 
Keywords: Geographical Informatics Systems, Database, Cadastral Management Information System. 
 
 
1. INTRODUCTION 
For the future the trend for our cities is to extend to country, and the difference between city and country 
is to decrease.  As a result, it is important for cadastral offices to pay more attention to urban and rural 
integrative cadastral management. According to actuality and trend of cadastral management, we must 
to analyse the construction of modern urban and rural integrative cadastral management information 
system. For a long time, city and country are managed separately, and their database is established 
individually, so it's hard to update data synchronously. This problem can't be solved until urban and rural 
integrative modern cadastral management information system is established to accord with new land 
classification system both for city and country. 
2. SYSTEM DESIGN OBJECTIVE 
The  system  design  objective  includes:  the  need  of  cadastral  information  management;  enhance 
decision making  ability,  quicken  decision making;  frequent  and  dynamic  state  monitor  realization; 
society applications, Bai et al. (2005).

A. The Need of Cadastral Information Management.  
The completion of the system construction will construct government affair management system, and 
accordingly regulate current organization functional division. So resource configuration will be much 
more optimized and the work efficiency and work quality will raise significantly. 
B. Enhance Decision-making Ability.  
During economic construction and social development, the cadastres usually need relevant abundant 
information when analyzing macroscopically to make an administrative policy decision, and that the 
cadastre information is its basic data. The construction of cadastral management information system on 
integration of urban and rural area will establish data foundation on the depth development, extensive 
usage of land resource and offering information resource services towards the community. 
C. Frequent and Dynamic State Monitor Realization.  
The land dynamic monitor is an important task of land management. There are a lot of troubles tot 
manage the alteration data by traditional techniques. After the construction of cadastral management 
information system on integration of urban and rural area is set up, the cadastre will become very 
convenient and everyday land dynamic land monitor can be implemented quickly and accurately. On the 
premise of collecting the relating information duly, the application system can quickly follow the progress 
condition of the land construction items, and check up the execution condition of the land leasing 
contract, punish illegal phenomena in time. Which is much significant for the criterion of land market and 
real estate, the maintenance of the serious land law and carry out land policy. 
D. Society Applications.  
After the construction of cadastral management information system on integration of urban and rural 
area is set up, the system will be open to the public and provide the real estate information for the 
public.  With  the  extension  of  information  collection  and  more  and  more  extensive  application,  the 
system comes into effect gradually to city management, social progress and economic development. 
3. THE PRINCIPLE OF SYSTEM DESIGN 
In the time of system construction, several elements have be adequately considered: the advanced 
characteristics of hardware and software technique, the scientific of model, the completeness of system, 
the flexibility of operation, the practicability of system, the openness and the extendibility, Jankowski 
(1995).

A. General Design Idea. 
 On the basis of the fact of cadastral information management, what are adequately considered includes 
the  advanced  characteristics  of  hardware  and  software  technique,  the  scientific  of  model,  the 
information ,the rationality of structure, the completeness of system, the flexibility of operation, the 
practicability of system, the openness and the extendibility. The system construction lay scientific, real 
time, and practical as leading idea. 
B. Overall Design principle. 
 The construction of cadastral management information system on integration of urban and rural area of 
Valcea  includes  software  development,  database  construction,  and  network  design  and  system 
maintenance and so on. It is an engineering enormous and complicated information system project. All 
kinds of factors need be comprehensively considered, and need manage such problems as the relation 
of advancement and practicality, standardization and flexibility. The following principles, Han (2004),  
have been followed when designed: 
1.  Standardization: The system bases on the existing technique regulations of The Ministry of 
Land and Resources, and accords with criterion on working flow, accords with industry 
criterion on input and output, accords with industry criterion on software engineering and 
database construction. 
2.  Practicability: The implementation of work without paper, accord with the working custom, 
operates  simplicity,  and  offer  complicated  and  strong  operation  function  for  the  system 
vindicator. 
3.  Advancement: the advancement of hardware equipments, software and technique means. 
4.  Security:  The  system  security  is  the  important  principle  of  system  design.  The  system 
adopts authority management and network control, which assures that the whole software 
system is not illegally accessed and the subsystem is not illegally used. 
5.  Dependability: Includes the dependability of data and system run. 
6.  Expansibility and Openness: The system has friendly interface, optimized system structure 
and flexible database system in order that all kinds of function modules can operate and run 
independently to the utmost, and implements the maintenance and joins of such database 
as topographic map, present land use map, Cadastral map etc. The system should have

strong  compatibility  on  output  aspect,  and  can  make  conversions  among  different  data 
formats. 
4. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT  
A. Software Environment Analysis  
GIS Software 
For the moment, the platform which Cadastral information system, Piotr (2006), depends on include the 
following  several  kinds:  ARC/INFO,  MAPINFO,  GENAMAP,  MAPGIS,  and  so  on.  MAPINFO  is  a 
desktop GIS, which is not good at Support of huge data set and its capability is also limited enough on 
spatial  analysis.  ARC/INFO  is  famous  GIS  product  internationally,  its  capability  of  huge  data  set 
management and all kings of spatial analysis are strong, but high price and the request to English level 
and  operation  ability  is  the  huge  obstacle  to  use  widely. MAPGIS,  the  home grown excellent  GIS 
software, get people more and more favor. 
The  construction  of  cadastral  management  information  system  on  integration  of  urban  and  rural, 
Burrough (1992),  area should walk along the way of home grown GIS, and take on right GIS software 
as  the  platform.  It  is  very  significant  to  construct  function perfect  multi user  network  management 
information system. No matter what on economy, technology, and information security, we all must 
depend  on  ourselves  GIS  software.  So  it  is  the  demand  of  constructing  cadastral  management 
information system to select MAPGIS as developing platform. MAPGIS is a GIS that the map and data 
is important comparably. It has strong map function and can satisfy all kinds of strict request of map edit 
and output, and its spatial analysis capability is also strong as ARC/INFO. Owing to MAPGIS is home 
grown GIS software, its interface is Romanian, so operation is simple, and moreover, it is expensive. 
In  view  of  the  software  technique  advancement,  system  structure,  the  data  management  model, 
function, capability, supporting platform and the software corporation development and other factors, 
MAPGIS is chosen as software platform. 
The storage structure of cadastral data based on relational database 
The relational storage structure of cadastral data has the following advantages: perfect data security, 
easiness to transmit and share data; the strong ability of record lock and security recovery etc. These 
advantages provide cadastral data an efficient management and overcome the demerits in developed 
cadastral management systems. To store cadastral data in relational database is actually feasible.

Spatial ware and Oracle 10i are a data storage solution based on relational database, and have the 
ability to store cadastral data integrate. Of all the cadastral spatial data, the data about boundary nodes 
and property parcels is the most important; they should be stored in relational database. For the others', 
because they are less important and usually treated as backgrounds, they may be stored in GIS files. 
However, you can store them in relational database if necessary, Yang et al. (2005). 
Oracle  Enterprise  Edition  Release  10.0i  is  relational  database  management  system  which  was 
developed by Oracle Corporation. It has a history of nearly twenty years, and it is mainstream relational 
database  management  system.  Oracle  PSTN/ISDN/ADSL  Enterprise  Edition  Release  10.0i  offers 
efficient credible secure data management which is the same as all kinds of application, including the 
on line transaction processing OLTP system of big charge and data ware application system which 
takes  query as  primary  function.  At  one  time,  based  on  object relational  design  Oracle  Enterprise 
Edition  Release  10.0i  makes  managing  complicated  data  (multimedia  data,  spatial  data)  possible. 
Oracle 10i provides system management tools, and can distribute data to all kinds of user availably and 
flexibly. Oracle 10i has needful refractivity of obtaining optimal capability from all practicable computer 
resources. 
The access mode of database is multi formal (e.g. ODBC, RDO and ADO etc.).Here the construction 
employs ODBC to connect database and MAPGIS OLE function to make a reality of map interaction. In 
fact, the above two key techniques involve a series of map object operations (e.g. inserting, deleting, 
updating, keeping map object and its spatial storage data synchronous etc.). 
B. Network Running Environment 
Based on the existing status of hardware and network, the system adopts the existing LAN among the 
bureau and other substations. The system network environment is shown as in Figure 1, connecting the 
bureau and other substations by fiber, connecting the population consumer and the system by Internet 
in order to realize the resource sharing.

A. System Framework Design 
In view of the work characteristics of the bureau of land and resource of Valcea and the network 
connection  request  among  the  bureau,  government  and  superior  governing  bureau,  the  system 
adopts the system framework of such network mode as principal B/S and adjective C/S (Figure 2).The 
interior function sections  access information center by LAN and B/S mode,  the information center 
manages data by C/S mode. The bureau and exterior network are separated physically, and connected 
by Internet, and firewalls are set up, which all assures the security of system. The substations access 
the information center by B/S mode, Ma et al. (2003). 
 
FIGURE 2   THE SYSTEM FRAMEWORK 
 
B. Cadastral Database Design 
Based on the existing status of data scale, organization setting and function dividing, the project adopts 
the concentrative data management mode, the system database can realize the following request: 
   The data uniform management; 
   Import data form other source to the system expediently; 
   Manage spatial and attribute data by object relational database, insure the integration of 
spatial and non spatial data, and realize the seamless organization of spatial data; 
   Solve the generation, storage and management of historical data; 
   Assure output of data resource safely and communion conditionally. 
   Cadastral database includes base topographic database, cadastral map database, and 
attribute database (Figure 3).

6. CONCLUSION 
"Digital Land" is an important constitution of "Digital City", and "Digital Cadastral" is also the foundation 
of "Digital Land". The   construction   of urban   and rural   integrative   modern cadastral management 
information system breaks the difference between city and country, advances the process of "Digital 
Cadastral"  construction.  Digital  construction  must  consider  the  important  development  process  of 
integration of urban and rural area. When "Digital Cadastral" is constructed, we must also consider 
constructing urban  and  rural  integrative  modern  cadastral  management  information system. The 
construction  product  will  offer  abundant  practice  experience  for  the  country  wide,  also  offer 
demonstrations  for  the  spatial  data  application  and  services  of  land  resource  industries,  even 
correlative industries. At present, using a great volume of information calls for achieving a proper way of 
managing, attentively elaborated, suited totally  to data structures. Thus, information used in public 
utilities networks administration can be divided in two categories: spatial information and descriptive 
information. Such types of data can be integrated in the same information managing system, by creating 
a Geographical Informatics System (GIS), RăduŃ et al. (2009).
