Its population is approximately eighty thousands and its area is 185.79 square kilometers as shown in Fig.1. The city government has been developing GIS for the purpose of land management and tax base calculation and is one of the most advanced local governments in Shizuoka Prefecture. The city government has been developing the database of various kinds of physical and social environmental information, but the city government uses small parts of the database only fur land management and tax base calculation. The purpose of this report is to show the database of kakegawa City as shown in Table 1 and propose the effective usage of the database. The database of Kakegawa City as shown in Fig.2 and Fig.3 is imported to GIS in our laboratory and reconstructed as the database retrievable from each individual land. The authors developed the retrieval system of each individual land and combined it to the reconstructed database. If our GIS is open to the public, a lot of citizens will get useful information about their environments.
