Complete streets can offer many benefits in all
communities, regardless of size or location. Complete streets guide map
make economic sense. A balanced transportation system that includes
bolster economic growth and stability by providing accessible and
efficient connections between residences, schools, parks, public
transportation, offices, and retail destinations.
Map making in
Nigeria has necessary caught up to the new trend many state and local
government agencies still on traditional maps thus the need for a street
guide is to strongly demonstrate the impact and effectiveness of
adopting the new trend and The improvement on both the speed and quality
of map making. The computer has change both the mapping process and the
maps as a concept the ideal of map making as increase the volume of the
map as a source of environment information for all types of planning
and decision making. Furthermore, there has been an increase in the
demand for high quality hard copy and digital map in recent times thus
the need for the capability or capacity of producing high precision and
quality map within a reasonable time frame and at a greatly reduce
production cost.
The improvement has revolutionized the map making process through computer aided cartography. (CAC)
Flexibility in the mapping process
Reduced vulnerability of maps to dimension distortion (expansion or shrinkage
Capacity to respond to the increasingly complex and diverse requirement in Geoinformation product.
Simplified and faster map revision process
Quick and easy linkage to database (geo database) and subsequently to geographic information system. (GIS)
In
this study CAC is being advocated as a way forward in the map making in
developing countries in order to quicken and improve map production
process through increased precision accuracy quality and productivity
among others
Statement of problem Kebbi is known for its famous
Argungu festival, the seat of various tradition artifacts which became a
centre of attraction for tourist from all over the world. Tourist on
arrival find it difficult to locate important places in the state
capital (Birnin Kebbi) such as hotels, banks rest houses, market,
parks, hospitals, schools, market, churches, police station, emir palace
army barrack and mosque e.tc. This project seek to find solution to
this problems by providing a street guide map which will lead tourist,
or those visiting Birnin Kebbi for the first time and dwellers where
necessary.

To pick feature on the ground using hand held GPS for updating the map
Scan the analog map using Ao scanner and import it to Arc gis9.2 environment
Prepare table for attribute data
Link attribute with raster.
1.3 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
extent of this project will involve the execution of street guide
mapping of part of Birnin Kebbi metropolis covering the Jega roundabout,

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The advent and advances made in computer technology in the twenty-first century has generally increased the speed and the capacity of various geoinformation and map-making processes. The improvements have revolutionized the map-making process, which has metamorphosed into the widely acknowledged of the use of ARCGIS 9.2. ARCGIS 9.2 has tremendously transformed the traditional (analogue) method of map-making. Round the world, ARCGIS9.2 is continuously being applied in achieving high precision str ...
