Abstract

A regional observation system is a tool for municipal planning. With a base in Geographic Information System and through a database that system can identify problem areas in the municipalities and support the process of sustainable solutions. The database contains data about the infrastructure, the real situation of the land utilization plan, the use of the areas in the municipality and the buildings and their users. Together with several other programs it’s possible to interpret this data and make a good planning for the future of the city. Examples like the city Leipzig, Germany, demonstrate that these systems have application to the various departments within the municipalities, where there may be create new possibilities for use. One of the problems may be the cost of data collection, maintenance and updating of data.
