GIS for Smart City

Urban city planning is actively moving to smart technologies. Real-time data increases operational efficiency while decreasing infrastructure expenses in the long run. All in all, it makes the modern environment safer and ensures the well-being of people. The challenge is only going to become outstanding as the population is permanently moving to cities.

Emergency Zones and Anti-Crisis Measures

Emergency Zones and Anti-Crisis Measures

The breakout of COVID-19 has shown that every country, state, and municipality has to see al the picture instantly and react in a very fast manner.

One account may contain disaster plans for multiple risks. Data is managed online, so remote work is efficient and accurate.

  • Сontrol the data and protect it from distortion and unauthorized access.
  • Collect public data with crowdsourcing application.
  • Rearrange public services effectively.
  • Analyse the patterns of human mobility and city traffic in emergency situations.
  • Update pieces of information in real time.
  • Easily make information public.
Permits and Restrictions Visualization

Permits and Restrictions Visualization

Zoning is an evergreen challenge municipalities have to deal with. City engineering groups have to ensure that each change is depicted on the new plan, that plans are consistent and that both stakeholders and citizens are aware of new requirements. Even these years, it is hard to implement. Obviously, if you don’t have Aspectum.

Aspectum solution makes land ownership data, permits, restrictions, environmental requirements available in 2 clicks. It is a digital archive of every data piece you need to plan and develop.

GIS in Urban Planning

A development plan is the hardest annual task for government bodies, as it has to take on multiple variables. Aspectum GIS for smart cities makes it easier through building a joint project with planned constructions, announced maintenance, social requests and much more on a single map.

Additional layers of data, such as traffic, demography, household income, crime rate can be added to get a more consistent ground for planning and prediction.

Smart City Apps

Aspectum is more just a mapping solution for the government. Data collection application allows gathering the data you need from the state of the municipal constructions to calculating trees. Here are the highly-demanded tasks done by Aspectum application:

  • Real Estate quality of life analysis;
  • 37% of time saved on routine operations;
  • Environmental pollution area detection;
  • Scouting;
Urban Mapping Software

Urban Mapping Software

Experts in construction know that it is extremely important to keep in mind dozens of factors, with a soil type, weather conditions, infrastructure, unit loading among them. Aspectum Smart Maps can compile that information and help to avoid risks during planning, building, and servicing any object. Engineers may use Smart Maps as a single source of truth to make decisions in advance.

GIS was traditionally used in county headquarters. Modern cloud solutions such as Aspectum are more powerful and cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

How GIS is used in urban planning?

Previously, geoinformation systems were mainly used to display districts and land ownership information. Smart transport, IoT, traffic data allow making a significant leap in technology and make decisions more thoughtful. Therefore, new solutions cost less and last longer.

How to analyze urban sprawl using GIS maps?

First of all, maps should contain historical data, unless it would be hard to get a full picture. Demographical layers will be useful too because development generally corresponds with specific needs and income levels.

Ways in which GIS technology can be used in an urban area?

A number of ways is growing as municipal tasks multiply. GIS technology is a foundation of construction and renovation maps, transport visualizations. It is also used to monitor disasters and inform people about help centers.

How has a geographic information system (GIS) become useful in urban development?

GIS technology alone is of more use to land management and construction departments. However, citizens may benefit from urban planning maps and smart infrastructure applications based on geodata.
