Abstract

Abstract : Geospatial technologies have evolved as a science for location-based problem solving at varying scales – from local, regional, national and even global levels. Location intelligence is the core strength of geospatial technology and enables efficient public administration and ensures proper delivery of government services. Technical advancements in geospatial technology enabled new modes of government services through the g-governance toolkit. At the heart of this articulation lies the conceptualization of g-Governance as a geospatial plug-in for e-Governance. Emphasis has been given on harnessing geospatial technology for enabling governments to do the public services by exhibiting high-quality and cost-effective operations, delivery of services, citizen engagement, bringing transparency, and accountability in the public administration process. The need of g-Governance in various service verticals was analyzed and compiled in this article.
