Abstract
The study aimed to create a historical geographic information system (HGIS), including a geodatabase and
simple web application for Dodoma Capital City (DCC) in Tanzania. A web GIS application based is an outcome
of the study that can improves research on, and knowledge of, the rare artifacts of cultural and historical heritage
in Dodoma Capital City (DCC) for historians and the wider academic community. Likewise, spatial data
incorporated allows for visualization of the relationship between people, and their geographic and cultural
surroundings. Therefore, the cultural geo-history in this paper describes the specific connection of the cultural
artifacts and historical site in a given area to their environment and geographic space. For that purpose, the
Dodoma Capital City (DCC) historical artifacts as a case study were cataloged based on GIS techniques,
geocoding protocols, and describing the artifacts to create an intuitive and familiar tool for historical researchers
and archivists to better understand the cultural geo-history of Dodoma Capital City (DCC). The resulting tool,
the Dodoma Capital City Historical Geographical Information System (DCCHGIS), combines a geodatabase and
a web application to provide access to a small portion of the geospatial cultural history of Dodoma Capital City
(DCC). The DCCHGIS demonstrates that archiving are useful in creating an accurate, informative, and usable
Historical Geographic Information System (HGIS) tool that increase the knowledge of and access to cultural
geo-history
