GIS-Based Municipal Information System (GMIS)

The GIS-Based Municipal Information System (GMIS) is a digital platform developed to help municipalities map, manage, and monitor urban assets and services. Integrating spatial and non-spatial data, GMIS links building permits, property tax, roads, land use, and infrastructure information into one unified system.

First implemented under the SMUSDP/DUDBC project in 2014 in Dharan, Janakpur, Nepalgunj, Siddharthanagar and later upgraded for Dharan Sub-Metropolitan City in 2022, GMIS features real-time dashboards, GIS mapping, mobile data collection, metric addressing, and multi-user access.

Built using open-source and commercial GIS technologies, GMIS enables data-driven urban planning, transparent governance, and improved municipal service delivery—empowering cities like Dharan to move toward smarter, more efficient urban management.
