Original Abstract

GIS for small municipalities is the topic of this paper. The project is based on the information needs of self-government of small municipalities or city districts. It solves the compromise between the lack of funds to build special-purpose GIS and the need for computer support in accounting and decision making processes. The article describes the construction of the project. The first phase is the design of the system included the determination of user requirements and data collection. The layers integrated into the system (national map series, ortho-photomaps, cadastre of real estates, town-planning documentation, environment, etc.) and data providers are described in this first part. The second phase is the implementation of this design system contained steps as the choosing appropriate software (primary ArcGIS software), the input, the data transformation and data analyses. The analyses were made for two types, the surface analyses based on created digital terrain model (terrain maps of exposure, slope, shadow, visibility, etc.) and thematic spatial analyses (finding the optimal place to live, selection localities for the construction of wind or solar power, a good place for a playground, etc.). The final phase is about the creating of required outputs and the installation of the system on the local authority. The project was exported into format *.pmf for freeware browser ArcReader because users have not had ArcGIS software. Some problems that appear in individual phases of creating are described in the article, too. To date the technology of GIS has been deployed using this method into small municipalities Křetín, Vranová, Jinačovice, Moravice, Želešice, Silůvky and into the District of Brno-Jundrov, Brno-Líšeň and Brno-Jih (Komárov, Horní and Dolní Heršpice, Přízřenice).
