Abstract This chapter attempts to show the conceptual design a Web-based GIS
Residential Property Marketing Information System (WGRPMIS). This system is
intended to be integrated with the virtual GIS technology enabling the consumer to
virtually explore the potential property based upon the multi criteria selection
through assisted geo-processing query. The proposed system is built using Adobe
Flex on ArcGIS Server framework to enable geo-processing and geometric net-
work capabilities. Through the pilot system, the success of 3D and virtual reality
integration was revealed. Due to limitations of the query functions and 3D feature
complexity taking its toll on the system's performance, an improved geo-
processing scheme is presented in this paper and the conceptual design of this
system is revised. The improved query function which includes road network and
accessibility were taken into consideration in solving buffer and radius query is
developed. The revised conceptual design will further be used in designing the
simplified 3D visualization viewer to the Virtual panoramic display.

… the strongest tangible benefit noted by many users of GIS for land and property
management was the ability to visualise relationships between property and the sur-
rounding geography by mapping land and property assets… the strongest intangible
benefit was the data audit and cleaning… (Wyatt and Ralphs, 2003)
