Implementing information technology: an alternative for urban settlement program

Revitalizing slum-area has been recognized as one of the most complicated parts in urban resettlement
program. With such a context we need a particular mode of communication to initiate and generate the project
based on people's own aspiration. There are problem characteristics here, which are usually executed by
Information Technology (IT). It is a potential to overcome the problem by using IT based on its ability to
manage abundant information with various variables. At least there are three prospective opportunities in
applying IT in this area. Firstly, it is the role of visualization, where computer can execute several visual features
of the projects, which will be more representative than the previous ones. Secondly, it is the role of IT in
generating the customization process to everyone involved in the projects. The last is the role of IT as executing
tool for project?s database management.
