8.1.3 QC of GIS
8. Database > 8.1 Permit Database
8.1.3 QC of GIS
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Intermediate
In an automatic procedure following GIS characteristics are checked:
- Unique occurrence of all UPN: No UPN should be mapped more than once
- All units are correct polygons: There are no points, no lines, no polygons with an area of 0
- All parcels have a UPN
- Correct installation of LUPMIS and Map Maker
- Correct location of the Local Plan DRA file
- Correct spelling of the Local Plan DRA file
- Check for duplicate objects, offer to delete duplicated objects in the DRA file (see also Part I of Chapter 8.1.5).
- Check for correct syntax of all UPN (xxx-yyyy-nnnn, see Chapter 7.8.1)
- Existence of selected parcel in the Local Plan DRA file
- Identity of display labels and IDs in the DRA file (see part G of Chapter 8.1.5 and standards in Annex 10).
If any of these conditions fail, an error message is shown. A list of the faulty parcels can be displayed (active buttons under ‘QC: GIS’).

It is also possible to display a list of all mapped parcel (‘mapped UPN’) in the DRA file:
It is possible – and for some operations necessary – to import data, which are in the DRA file, to the Permit Database, such as the land use planning zone (in ‘style’), the precise location (x and y), the size of the parcel etc. These data are automatically integrated to the main data table of parcels through the ‘Import from GIS (Local Plan --> PDB)’ button.
Similarly, also the more general land use planning zone of the Structure Plan can be imported to the Permit Database (through the ‘Import from GIS (Structure Plan --> PDB)’ button (see also Part H of Chapter 8.1.5).
From there, data can be ‘exported’ to the GIS to generate a map in Map Maker, either the status of the Planning Permits in this sector or of the Building Permits through ‘Export Permit Database to GIS’. See example below:
The legend can be called as ‘map furniture’ from C:\LUPMIS\Permits\Support\Permitstatusmap_legend.emf. See Chapter 6.3.1 for the procedure to call and place ‘map furniture’.
These permits maps work as a perfect tool for monitoring the application status of a sector.
