Abstract
For the integration of surveys in Ontario, the Task Force recommends a partnership approach to the establishment and maintenance of a Fully Integrated Land Information System [FILIS] — an up-to-date database system that includes infrastructure and planimetrie features as well as property boundaries. This is not a theoretical concept; it is a recognition of what is happening in Ontario today. Those municipalities that have acquired GIS hardware and software and are implementing a comprehensive land-related information system are finding that a graphic database that is consistent, complete and current is essential. As there is no provincial legislation or regulations for integrated surveys, municipalities are improvis¬ing in diverse and ingenious ways. Although there is a consensus that the initiative should remain at the municipal level, there is also a consensus that there should be provincial regulations and standards for the municipalities to follow. Thus the Task Force’s most significant recommendation is that “The Ministry of Natural Resources should, as a matter of urgency, establish a broadly based Working Parly to consider and recommend legislative changes which will enable an Integrated Municipality to be declared at the request of a municipality, and to define standards which will govern integration.”
