Fukuoka Geographic Environmental Information System (GIS) is a powerful support tool for environmental preservation administration. Using an Engineering Work Station platform, this GIS displays overlayed images of vector, raster and mesh data with associated attributes data(numerical, textual and image data). This GIS's function is one of database, maintenance, networking and remote-sensing analysis. We present an instance of GIS system development and consider the suitability of GIS for a local Self-governing body.
