Based on the multi used land registry criteria, it was necessary an information system that:

  • Allows to access to urban land registry information
  • Allows to differentiate urban and rural borders.
  • Provides reorganization and public services information.
  • Allows to negotiate correctly the territorial information in order to take decisions referred to planning and urban development .
  • Allows to add social-economical information
Solution: 

It was used gvSIG to:

  • Create digitalized urban land registry, where all blocks, plots, built surfaces, empty land roads and arteries where taken into consideration.
  • gvSIG was linked to the Municipal Revenue Department database which allows to access to the tax system information of each plot.
  • It was added information of educational establishments, public organisms and health organization.

This is a long-term Project which in a second stage it will include the Public Services Cooperative, with this it will have street lighting, power supply, drinking water, television nets services information linked to the Geographic Information System.
