| Popis: | The methodology in this study is based on fieldwork, primary and secondary data collection, and analysis and displaying of the results. GIS was used in different ways, such as in preparing coverage for interpretation and in planning and decision-making. Different categories of distance were used to determine the delineation of service area of selective functions. The result shows that within a 5 km radius most of the study area is covered except for a few functions such as market, health and multi-nodal centers. The gap between served areas is small. However, there are some pockets of unserved areas that need immediate service facilities. GIS was particularly useful in creating a database required for spatial planning. It is applied more and more in developed countries as a main tool in the field of urban and regional planning. |
