them on the computer screen in the form of an official

also can have it as a hard copy by printing it out.

As mentioned before, vector based spatial data are sent from the
server to the client. The data are saved in the data base of
Microsoft Access. As it is aimed by the system, coordinate data
as well as the topological information is saved in the data base.

3. CONCLUSIONS
As the trend of the globalization increases and economical
boundaries are removed around the world, continuous
improvements in information and communication technologies
widens the gap between highly-developed countries and
Turkey. In order to narrow down this gap and to generate an
mformation society, the government, using both very last
technologies and most current admission techniques, must
consider a reorganization of its structure in which the
individuals and serving each individual citizen should have the
biggest priority. This reorganization model can be defined as e-
government.
E-government, as a new administration model, aims to increase
performance and efficiency of the government by using last
technologies in exchange of information, science, and goods
443
between government agencies, citizens, and private sector. The
main objectives of the e-government are: (1) to transparent the
government, (2) to run the government fast an defectively, (3)
to ease the daily life of the citizen, (4) to give citizens important
role in the administration, (5) to prevent repetition of the work
and data, and (6) to improve the periods of information based
decision making (Aktepe et al., 2002). In the lights of these
objectives, the applications of e-government presented in this
study can be good examples for government agencies that use
spatial data. Government agencies can automatically perform
some of the procedures that causes excessive loading in the
system, slows down the activities; therefore, the system will run
easily and service quality will be dramatically increased.
Besides, effective use of web-based e-government applications
reduces user-time, saves money, and increases efficiency.

As the interest in spatial data based e-government applications
increase, the communication between various local GIS
applications will increase as well. Therefore, the dependency
between the agencies increases, which will lead to collaboration
and establishment of common standards. This will open the
doors of systems will determine the features of internet based
GIS technologies.
