Abstract

In this research the results of using the data model called Geo-database in the structuring and storage of spatial information of the Cartagena de Indias littorals, the Tierra Bomba island, the Morrosquillo Gulf and between Tajamar Occidental of Magdalena river and Puerto Velero during the years 2007 and 2008 in the Colombian Caribbean are presented. The research included identification of the Maritime National Direction corporative Geodatabase requirements, verification of state and structuring of the spatial information obtained by the Oceanographic and Hydrographic Research Center and establishing the procedure for structuring and later storage of the information. The use of the geodatabase model in the study areas, permitted the structuring, storing and quantification of spatial information of 303.44 kilometers of coastline, 1512.31 hectares corresponding to beach areas and 10469.5 hectares of low tidal zones. This information will be used by the National Maritime Authority and its respective Port authorities as technical support for the control, administration and preservation of these govern property located on the Colombian Caribbean littoral.
