8.1 LUPMIS Tools: General
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Beginner; specifically for LUPMIS @ TCPD
8.1.1 Overview
c) ArchitectureTo facilitate and standardize the GIS procedures for land use planning, the software package of 'LUPMIS Tools' has been developed. This is not part of the standard Map Maker setup, but customized for land use plannig in Ghana. There are 8 'Tool Sets':
Note: Technically, these are programs in PHP, using MMmacro and GIS file import/ export features of Map Maker (loc, xy, mme, ptp, geo files, see also Annex 18.5) and SQL processing. PHP was chosen for highest compliance with web-based browsing facilities.

- b) Start of LUPMIS Tools:
Click the 'LUPMIS Tools' shortcut on your desktop:
This will automatically load Map Maker to run in the background.
For the installation of the 'LUPMIS Tools' see Annex 1.1.
For training questions, see end of Annex 13.2.
