Abstract

This study aims to ascertain the concept of Material Resources Management for Educational Building Using Geographic information system (GIS), as an important means of information management. Enclosing various data and information, university educational buildings requires attentive management to achieve the greatest investment of material resources. The research demonstrates a program designed specifically for managing material resources at the faculty of engineering, Mansoura University in the framework of Continuous Improvement and Qualifying for Accreditation Project (CIQAP) in the faculty over the period of 30 weeks from 2-4-2009 and till 1-10-2011. The research proved its claims through achieving the best management of faculty material resources using GIS. The research also offers different scenarios for crisis management in a way that avoids wasting such resources that are of great value for those buildings.
