Stakeholders Involved

Coastal Zone Management Authorities of respective Coastal States/UTs, Environment Department, Tourism Department, Archaeological Department, Coastal Communities, Port Authorities, Public Works Department, District / Local Administrative Bodies. Solution and Implementation

A unique portal to access the geospatial layers related to Coastal Zone Management Plan & Administrative Boundaries has been developed and hosted in the public domain to serve the community of coastal regions, various stakeholders, and administrators. The portal facilitates simple decision-making and policy formulation by visualizing the superimposed layers in a comprehensive Web Portal Application.

Use of Geospatial Technologies

Advanced GIS software technology has been leveraged in the creation of web-based applications for the visualization of geographic information. The base layers have been converted into thematic layers and are published as ReST (Representational State Transfer) services using the ArcGIS server, followed by creating web maps using ArcGIS Portal.

The application has a three-layer architecture where the backend is the ESRI Geo database, the middleware is the ArcGIS Server, and the frontend has been designed using the Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS.

Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS is an intuitive application that allows for building web apps. It includes powerful tools to configure fully featured HTML apps. A published web app is based on a map authored with Map Viewer. Any changes the author makes to the map, including its extent, layers, description, and so on, are reflected in the web app. The tools are loaded with cross-platform functionality using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript and HTML 5 Key Outputs
