Location was done with TopoL software. Therefore, panorama
was obtained as data.
4. INQUIRIES
TIS has some inquiry attributes. The inquiry is capable of
answering some basic questions so as to find out optimum
solutions.
Inquiry is always essential part of the Geographic Information
System (GIS). Therefore, databases were designed so that it
could be inquired easily. Figure 5 and 6 illustrates a inquiry
table and graphics answers at TIS project.

TopoL allow users to inquire by either table or graphic.
Therefore, user could reach a data from another data by
inquires. Moreover, it is possible to find out answer from
graphic data easily as shown Figure 5 and 6.
5. CONCLUSION
In the study, an information system which serves tourist and
tourism, was obtained. Panoramic imaging was integrated with
information system. Therefore, a visual supported information
system was realized. A quick documentation possibility was
provided with obtained panoramic image as transferring to TIS.
The information system give opportunity for basic inquire so as
to provide a reliable guidance for tourist.
Panoramic imaging is a suitable documentation method for
information system. Nevertheless, panoramic images need more
research work to obtain measurements from them. Therefore, a
new dimension can be add to georeference of information
systems. So, an information system can be produced more
effectively. It can be used for other fields which are different
from tourism.
By exploiting panoramic images we are able to generate
relatively inexpensive yet convincing walk through
representations of complex facilities which support ad-hoc
measurements. These image archives are very rich source of
information about the true operational status of a facility and
thus are already a very valuable component of any FM database.

Handheld GPS is a practical solving to integrate panorama with
TIS.
At the work, TIS was designed for a pilot project. It should be
improved to realise professional project. It needs new layer and
data type depending on aim of the project. It is also necessary
that a lot of association or corporation work together.
Figure 5. Inquiry table and its graphic Internet, intranet and wap technologies should be supported to
TIS so as to provide an effective and interactive TIS.
Nowadays, small, precise handheld GPS give opportunity easy
use for each tourist. If TIS connects with wireless technology,
tourist will acquire a reliable guidance.
TIS can provide a standard service for tourism. Furthermore,
new technologies can improve the tourism field.
