Then, large comprehensive survey is organized to collect information and plot by plot data base designed for this purpose. The junction of the cartography and scanned the database allow the town to have a better knowledge of lands, immobilizer and urban help in eliminator decision tool for the planning and urban management. It is possible to make thematic maps follow urbanization and planning.
