Why GIS technologies in Primorsko-Goranska County?

Only accurate data that we can compare and analyze within a short time frame permits accurate decision-making. With the use of GIS Technology, counties, cities and municipalities are given the following opportunities:

• a tool for monitoring the landscape and environment (implementation of the policy on environment protection and urban design, devastations of space, etc.,
• the development of a system in accordance with global and European standards of management of spatial data and information systems,
• accelerated access to information and provision of a permanent data service to the public,
• easier and faster access for resolving everyday business tasks that are based on spatial data.
  

Using GIS and future aims

The starting point for the establishment of an information system on space can be found in numerous national programs and laws. Within its framework, the County Institute establishes and governs an information system of spatial planning at the county level, and encourages the establishment of GIS at the city and municipality levels for the planning, monitoring and management of space and environment.
