DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTER BASED CARTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM (CASE STUDY NPC ENUGU)
ABSTRACT
This project carries out a study need for the design and implementation of a computer based cartographic system using National population commission as case study.
The researcher attempt to find out an improved method of cartographic drawing and how to automate the process (computerization).
Hindrances encountered in the mammal process that is, old approach of using and papers in drawing maps which could lead to poor representation of graphs, maps, hence the need for a well design and implemented computer based cartographic system arises.
This project computer based cartographic system will also help to keep record of many areas and maps of this country.

CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND OF THY STUDY
1.1Â Â Â Â Â Â INTRODUCTION
           Cartography is study and paractice of making maps or globes. Maps have traditionally been made using pen and paper, but the advent and spread of computers has revolutionized cartography.
           Most commercial qualities maps are now made with map making software that falls into one of the three main types, CAD, GIS AND specialized map illustration software.
           Maps functions as visualization tolls for spatial data. Spatial data is acquired from measurement and can be stored in a database from which it can be extracted from a variety of purposes. Current trends in this field are moving away from analog methods of map making and towards the creation of increasingly dynamic, interactive maps that can be manipulated digitally.
           The cartographic process rest on the premise that the world is measurable and that we can make reliable representations or models of that reality. Map making involve advanced skills and attitudes, particularly the use of symbols to represent certain geographic phenomens, as well as the ability to visualize the world. In an abstract and scaled down form.
1.2Â Â Â Â Â Â STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
           The present system of cartographic system of Nigerian population commission has a lot of problems, which are mentioned below.
ACCURACY
           In term of accuracy, the system is relatively slow and since it is dependent to human effort, so inevitable, it is also prone to human errors and omission.
TIME
           Going by the present system of operaion, time is consumed in the handling of operation; since most cartographic drawings are manilly operated with pen and papers. It takes time to execute a particular work.
1.3Â Â Â Â Â Â PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
           The objectives of the study is designed to help the Nigeria population commission in their cartographic and maps designing and presentation.
1.4Â Â Â Â Â Â OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
           The objectives of the study are as follows
1.                  To provide better efficient job presentation for various designing in the commission.
2.                  To produce a system where information and output report will be produced much faster, more accurately and more detailed to the commission.
3.                  To keep records that are compact, integrated and updated.
