Abstract

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which consists of 150 governorates and 13 regions, is among the first nations to gather descriptive and spatial data, create geographical databases that benefit society and policymakers. Creating a central database (SDI) for the governorates in the Riyadh region and integrating data between them, with its headquarters located in the capital city of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh is the largest city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the third most populous capital of the Arab world. Based on data from 2021, the population of Riyadh is approximately 10.5 million, and the capital of Saudi Arabia is regarded as one among the global cities with the quickest rate of growth. The area of the city has grown from 1,800 km2 to 3,115 km2 at this point. Each governorate operates independently, which makes it difficult to share information on local development and infrastructure projects amongst them. This causes projects to be duplicated within a single governorate, and costs money, time, and effort. In order to address these issues and provide a robust and current database, this research is carried out. Based on current and regularly updated data from the governorates, reports can be produced from them for every governorate, assisting the decision maker in making the right choice.
