The GIS application that interests me the most is parcel
management. This application falls under Land Administration. The typical
problems that are addressed with parcel management are land ownership and
parcel boundaries. A local property appraiser uses GIS to relate their Computer
Aided Mass Appraisal (CAMA) System to the county’s tax parcels. Utilizing GIS
reveals any geographic relationships between tax parcels that would otherwise
be impossible for the appraiser detect in a standard DBMS. Parcel management is
interesting to me because it is the foundation upon which all other GIS
analysis is based. For example if we wanted to determine how many houses in a
certain area might be affected by the flooding of a nearby river, we would want
to use the information from the CAMA System related to the parcels in the GIS.
During the course of this class, and the remainder of this program, I would
like to learn more efficient methods and work flows with regard to the CAMA
System and GIS.
