Este artigo propõe a modelagem de um Banco de Dados Geográficos (BDG), permitindo a identificação clara das entidades geográficas e dos parâmetros necessários para implementação do BDG, estruturação do SIG e desenvolvimento do Sistema Cadastral Fiscal. Nesse trabalho é apresentado um conjunto de modelos conceituais de dados para aplicações geográficas, onde o OMT-G (Object Modeling Technique for Geographic Applications) mostrou ser o mais adequado. Após a modelagem, é proposto um conjunto de sistemas para construção do BDG aplicado à Regulação Urbana. Estas etapas são importantes para um sistema complexo que precisa reunir informações precisas para identificação, fiscalização e licenciamento de atividades, imóveis e edificações. ABSTRACT - The advances in geoprocessing technologies (GPS, Remote Sensing, Digital Cartography, GIS) show that states and districts can and need to update their systems, because urban management tends to be more complex year after year and the number of necessary documents will increase considerably. This paper proposes a geographic database modeling that allows to clearly identify the geographic entities and all parameters for geographic database implementation, GIS arrangement and Fiscal Cadastral System development. For modeling, is presented a set of conceptual data models for geographic applications, where the OMT-G (Object Modeling Technique for Geographic Applications) shows to be more adequate. After the modeling, is proposed a set of systems to construct the geographic database applied to urban regulation. These stages are important for a complex system that needs to combine accuracy information to recognition, control and authorizing activities, land properties and buildings. 1 INTRODUCTION Nowadays, in Brazil, the majority of levies are still being realized in a declaratory form once the public sector does not have adequate information to confront the declarant’s veracity. The public sector needs to make a detailed mapping of all territory, because with location, address and the real function of each realty, they have a mirror of occupational reality in the urban space (ERBA et al., 2005). One of the oldest types of tax levying is the property tax and very often cadastral systems start as a fiscal cadastre due to the necessity of taxing. Nobody can hide a property, so land and buildings are easy objects for taxing (BOGAERTS; ZEVENBERGEN, 2001). The GIS benefits must be combined with the specific necessities of local government planners. The determination of “if” and “how” GIS is used, however, will depends on resources, team, data availability, hardware and software (MOUDON; HUBNER, 2000). Before implementation, is important to model the geographic database because the abstraction of concepts and entities from real world is an important stage of information systems development (CASANOVA et al., 2005). This paper proposes the use of a conceptual data model for geographic applications that allows the implementation of a geographic database. All data stored in the database will be managed through an integrated way by a GIS and a Fiscal Cadastral System, both of them applied to the urban regulation.
