Informacioni sistem prostornog planiranja Kantona Sarajevo: koncept, razvoj i primjena

The paper analyzes the conceptual foundations, developmental phases, and practical application of the Spatial Planning Information System of Sarajevo Canton (ISPPKS), with emphasis on its key functional components. The author’s experience confirms that the spatial data infrastructure (SDI) in the Federation of B&H does not encompass a sufficient number of themes nor enable efficient real-time operations. ISPPKS represents an integrated platform for the collection, processing, analysis, and distribution of spatial data relevant to planning and development management. It is based on GIS technologies that connect cadastral and land registry records, planning documentation, infrastructure networks, as well as demographic and socio-economic indicators, thereby creating a unified knowledge base accessible to institutions, professionals, and citizens. A particular value lies in the visualization of data through digital maps and thematic layers. ISPPKS serves as a tool for policy coordination, research analysis, and citizen participation, thereby strengthening transparency in public administration. Further development entails integration with higher-level geoportals, enhancement of interoperability standards, and continuous inclusion of new data sources, with the ultimate goal of establishing a reliable and interactive platform that contributes to sustainable development of Sarajevo Canton.
