Dibba Al-Fujairah

Municipality is

Transforming

Though its first enterprise GIS project,
Dibba Al-Fujairah Municipality aspires
to serve better the community

Located in the North-East of the United Arab
Emirates, Dibba Al-Fujairah is a major city in the
Emirate of Fujairah and the Dibba region. It is
considered to be the 2 largest city in the Emirate of
nd
Fujairah with an area of 600 km , and a population
2
estimate of 29,301 (according to the 2015 census).
On 17 September 2017, Dibba Al-Fujairah
Municipality partnered with Khatib & Alami (K&A)
to launch its first Enterprise GIS project. K&A is
playing a pivotal role in designing and implementing
a world-class GIS data model across the Web
following the international standards set by Esri and
the US government to enhance the Municipality’s
business performance.
By creating a GIS-format basemap with data
correction, loading and automation using Feature
Manipulation Engine (FME), Dibba Municipality
can now replace the existing AutoCAD Master Plan
with the latest GIS tools and mapping products
developed by K&A. FME model automation will
ensure automatic and accurate database updates
of collected data from different departments
within Dibba’s Municipality and other governmental
entities.

The system includes developing a Web GIS Viewer
taking advantage of the latest web technologies,
supported by Esri’s Portal for ArcGIS. This allows
the system’s easy integration with multiple
governmental entities for data exchange and
analysis. The survey team will be equipped with
mobile devices, utilizing Esri Collector for ArcGIS to
perform online and offline field data collection and
health-related inspections.

Moreover, the GIS system will geo-enable the Dibba
Municipality e-services and allow for seamless
integration between the two systems. This will
ensure automatic generation and certification of
site plans and Milkiyat, utilizing the latest digital
signature technologies.
Through this trend-setting project, K&A will help the
Municipality digitally transform by automating its
internal processes and workflows and reducing its
paper-based transactions, while ensuring scalability
and ease of future expansions, enhancements, and
integrations.
