huge record keeping in papers. 
e This system compliments the fully functional 
database that can be updated regularly. 
e It not only benefits the planning for Rural 
Development but also help to make proper 
decision by the policy makers in the 
appropriate direction and in right time. 
e Our designed System acts as a powerful tool 
by proper interpretation of a huge database 
with Maps for all kinds of planning & 
implementation in the fields of Economy, 
Objective 1: Perform Regional Economic 
Analyses/Quantifying the Rural 
Community-Agriculture Linkages 
Objective 2: Non-Market Valuation of the Benefits 
of Agriculture and Cottage Industry, 
Self Employment schemes in 
Fostering Rural Development. 
Objective 3: Identifying Constraints to Increased 
Agriculture, Drinking Water Supply, 
Irrigation, Drainage, Sanitation, Land Use 
and effective use of Rural Resources. 
The proposed system has been designed in a 
comprehensive manner so that it becomes beneficial 
and will facilitate Panchayat Administration, 
Revenue Dept, Block Development Authority, Police, 
Telephone Dept, and Electricity Dept and all 
department related to rural areas. 
avalanche of information, not only for scientific 
research, but also for information transfer to a 
broader public and for planning or policy purposes. 
Several reasons may explain this information 
explosion in planning and policy-making.

Linkage of Spatial and Non-Spatial Data 
GIS allows the linkage of spatial and non-spatial data 
based upon a defined relationship. A one to one 
relationship can be defined for each of the spatial 
entity with the non-spatial data. For performing the 
linkage operation the following steps were done: 
e Identification of relation between spatial and 
non-spatial data such as one-to-one relationship 
between each of the village entity with non- 
spatial data for them. 
e Selection of key field as linkage item which 
may be Census-code, polygon — id obtained 
after topology creation. 
e Linkage has been done in a environment of the 
GIS coverage’s, as they are easily accessible 
and performing Join operation. 
Method of Analysis 
In a GIS based system any analysis can be done and its 
output can be shown in a much better way only by 
integrating non-spatial data with spatial data. The core of 
all analysis is: 
e A combination of different parameter whether 
spatial or non-spatial.

Conclusions 
The introduction of computers, micro-electronic equipment 
and telecommunication services have paved the way for an

our complex society needs insight to the 
mechanisms and = structures determining 
intertwined ^ socio-economic, spatial and 
environmental processes; 
the high risks and costs of wrong decisions 
require a careful judgment of all alternative 
courses of action; 
the scientific progress in statistical and economic 
modeling has led to a clear need for more 
adequate data and information monitoring; 
modern computer software and hardware 
facilities (e.g. decision support systems) have 
provided the conditions for a quick and flexible 
treatment of data regarding all aspects of policy 
analysis; and 
many statistical offices have produced a great 
deal of data which can be usefully included in 
appropriate systems. It is evident that a user- 
analyst communication is necessary for removing 
the above mentioned bottlenecks. It is of course 
important that the user or client is not 
disconnected from an information system, but it 
is equally important that an analyst is informed 
about the way a certain policy issue or problem is 
structured. In several choice situations, however, 
interactive simulation experiments and computer 
graphics, designed by experts, can nowadays 
already directly be used by decision-makers and 
planners, so that policy and analysis may be 
brought closer together in the future. 
For further development, technology will not be a 
limiting factor. Geographical information
