Abstract

Social implications of Web-GIS 243 15.2.2 Software Given the above requirements, the Web-GIS was created using ESRI’s Internet Map Server ArcIMS®, the ArcSDE® middleware and an Oracle® 8i. database. Since it is often the case that the general public object to using Internet services that require the download and installation of additional software components6 a thin client approach7 was adopted and the system development was carried out with the ArcIMS HTML client. This meant that the end-user only needed a plain web browser capable of executing JavaScript to access GIS data and functions over the Internet. Nevertheless, in order to adapt and enhance the basic Web-GIS software (graphical user interface, functionality) for use in a tourism application, extensive programming was necessary using HTML, JavaScript and Perl.
