Information system supporting urban strategic planning and development

Efficient space resources management is, together with human resources, a key factor for viable economic growth of a region. GIS technology is making possible an integration of all available spatially-referenced data, and consequently an establishment of information system that can support complex societies, making spatial planning sustainable, economically profitable and ecologically controlled. This is very important in urban areas, where space interventions are more frequent and affect space quality for a large number of people. This paper gives an overview of the GIS developed by the Chair of Spatial Information Management at Faculty of Geodesy for the Zagreb City Office for Strategic Planning and Development. In the first phase of the project, a GIS with all available Zagreb Spatial Plans at various scales was created. During the project the problems connected with data redundancy and mismatched boundaries of data defined at different scales were indicated. During the second phase of the project statistical data from the population census was appended. Data derived from the system can be used for better understanding of spatial distribution and explanation of statistical data, and as a basis for an expert system based on multi criteria decision making, which is essential for creation of a strategic and optimal development plan
