Abstract: A case study was conducted of the safety information management of agricultural produce from farmlands high in safety risk in Jiangsu province. The main objectives of the study were to set forth a design scheme for establishment of a produce safety information management system for agricultural production areas using WebGIS technology in light of data characteristics of the safety information of agricultural production areas and requirements of decision-making in this field, and to explore targets,  missions, structure, database and functions of this information management system. According to the missions of the system, five functions, including map browse, query and pivot, data statistics, management of farmland environment monitoring information and management of farmland suitability information, were designed. The system adopted a three-tier structure, consisting of a client tier, an intermediary business processing tier and a database server tier. According to the principal features of the environment information of the production areas high in safety risk in Jiangsu Province, the system database was also designed to have three layers structure,including index tables, attribute lists and data sheets. And C# and MapXtreme was used as the platform for primary development and running of the system.
