The needs of municipal users cross a broad spectrum from large-scale regional demographic analysis to precise locations of property corners. To accommodate these varied needs, the system must be designed to operate at many scales with a feature set that supports a multitude of applications. Often built with feature sets and core functionality designed for traditional polygonal analysis, such as health, social service, and cadastral assessment. Usually require complicated databases that support everything from model analysis to asset valuation. As a result, the needs of municipal utilities have been overlooked during the design of many municipal GIS systems.
