Introduction
                  Land Development Department (LDD) had developed application programs in response to the need of LDD 's  regional offices to build and share  GIS  applications  among  less  skilled  end  users  and  institutes concern.
                  LDD has integrated the IT solution to support management and decision - making  in soil and land databases.       LDD builds and operates  GIS database and implement  GIS applications.      Standard application softwares includes soils, land use / land cover, permanent forest that greatly enhance the value    of investment in base maps and other data.
                 The IT solution in LDD was initially developed in 1996 until present. Feedback from users both in government  and private sectors bring  LDD to the solution  in improving its products.      Originally, the project was developed in collaboration   with  Chiang Mai University   mostly under   ArcView environment. All the functions of the complex application in the programs were brought into ArcView with an easy to use interface.  They are:
 
Soil database application software (SoilView)
Permanent Forest (PermanentForestry)
Typical Soil Series' Profiles (ThaiPedon)
 Physical Land for Eco- Crops (Zone)
Soil Erosion (ErosView)
 Land Development Village Soil and Water Conservation Planning (ConsPlan)
 Physical Land Evaluation for Farm Pond (FarmPond)
 Economic crops Zoning (AgZone)
