Abstract

The urban development management is a complex science including many different fields in which scheming management plays a vital role. How to make the process of urbanization develop stable? Most of the departments of urban management may use drawing software to keep scheming/planning data under control, attributive information is thought to be particularly treated or directly noted in drawing file. With the aforementioned facts, the management of urban plan is simplified and the urban planning managers can reduce their labor, as well as their time. Climate change is increasingly complex and unpredictable worldwide. The consequence of global warming is the rise in sea level that caused more severe flooding. Vietnam is one of the countries severely affected by this process. In this paper, the authors aim to use the opportunities offered by GIS analysis of mapping flood warning service for flood protection, rescue, and traffic, to provide the residents with the forecast changes about the route they have chosen to move through flood zone, and to study the functional process of planning management model applying GIS technology to support the management of zoning plan.
