The Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) has completed the first phase of geotagging its heritage and historic sites, especially in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. GCDA chairman Chandran Pillai said that the first phase of the project, which identifies places, buildings, roads, and objects of historical heritage importance in Kochi, is complete. It was implemented with the help of Geographical Information System (GIS). “The second phase of the project is to write down the historical heritage significance of the places marked by geotagging, and the work has already started,” the release said. “Once it is complete, the public and tourists can avail information about the heritage sites through Web GIS that will be made available at GCDA’s website, which is under renovation,” said an official of GCDA.
