Database is analyzed and planned by Taiwan Geography Information Association by selecting 75 attributes data with more useful application value from more than 500 official statistic data of TCG. The databases is made by integrated the data of population, attribution of doorplates as the standard key value and then combine related SEC attributions. The purpose is to enhance the sharing of TCG Geography information, to strengthen the application and to improve administrative efficiency. In this research, 69 application directions are created after analyzing the questionnaires written by professionals and specialists. Finally, 15 prefer application directions are summarized after 4 sessions of questionnaire investigation and two of applications are especial to implement a prototype system to demonstrate their feasibility and effectiveness to integrate with GIS, doorplate system, and SECD. “Address” is the exclusive and important locating field on Geography. As long as address field is given in any public affair data, it is applicable to locate it in GIS space. Query relevant information is also accessible through address field search. It is recommended to TCG to combine doorplate address information as much as possible when building up database in the future. Moreover, this helps to provide added values on the application of Geography Information as well.
