Abstract
Realising the advanced virtues of GIS technology in planning and development a Decision Support System (DSS) was developed for the drought prone Pudukkottai District. In the said study a hierarchy of GIS data bases were generated on Natural Resources, Physical Resources / facilities in various developmental sectors and Human Resources using ARC/INFO. Further novel Decision Support System was developed using ARCObject. The Decision Support System has advanced credentials in retrieving many type of geospatial information on Natural Resources availability and Conservation, Physical Resources and Human Resources for the whole District, Taluk wise, Block wise, Panchayat village wise, Watershed wise and Feature wise. This is expected to be a very advanced tool for the planners and decision makers.
