Cadastral maps play an important role in the land administration system (LAS), enhancing the certainty and security of legal proceedings. Under ideal conditions, the content of cadastral maps should accurately reflect the “actual state” (in the field) and the “legal state” (as per legal documents) and correspond with the written component of the LAS. This article analyzes the depiction of watercourses and water bodies in cadastral maps. Their content, level of detail, and method of cartographic interpretat...

The study analyses the application of digital twins as an integrated set of technologies and methods in the planning and management of various infrastructure development models. Digital twins allow for real-time modelling of physical objects and processes, improving decision-making, forecasting, and resource utilization efficiency. These solutions allow for the simulation of various development scenarios, optimization of resource utilization, and improvement of decision-making in infrastructure planning and manage...

In recent decades, Polish suburban areas have undergone rapid demographic and spatial transformation. This expansion is primarily fueled by enhanced transportation accessibility and a highly dynamic real estate market, leading to intensive suburbanization processes. However, this rapid growth often outpaces planning oversight. A critical challenge has been the lack of comprehensive spatial data, particularly regarding the scale and impact of decisions on building and land development conditions. As a result, the n...

The leakage of a hazardous substance poses a significant risk to the population and the environment. In the event of a technical equipment accident, a large amount of the substance can be released into the air, which is capable of contaminating a large area. For this reason, it is important to identify and register the facilities in which hazardous substances are located, and to analyze their potential impact on the surrounding area. For this purpose, it is possible to use geographic information systems, such as Q...

The spatial mismatch between available urban land and construction suitability constitutes a persistent challenge in civil engineering and urban planning, exacerbated by proprietary data costs and methodological opacity. This study formalizes a reproducible multi-criteria decision analysis framework leveraging vector datasets to derive quantitative construction site suitability indices through standardized geocomputation workflows. Employing buffer topology operations, Euclidean distance transforms, and weighted l...

Construction marketing requires visual evidence of site potential to secure client commitment, but accessible geospatial tools remain limited for small developers. This study presents a streamlined analysis workflow generating client-ready heatmaps that quantify site attractiveness through standardized metrics: accessibility (road network proximity), visibility (line-of-sight exposure), and neighborhood quality (amenities proximity). Using conventional buffer analysis on crowd-sourced layers, the methodology produ...

Solar energy is leading the charge in the shift to renewable energy sources because of its sustainability and abundance. With the use of remote sensing data and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for land suitability research, this study evaluates the viability of developing solar farms in Baqubah City, Diyala, Iraq. Iraq is well-positioned for the spread of solar power due to its growing energy demand and dedication to diversifying its energy mix. Key elements included in the analysis were slope, land...

Earthquakes are unevenly distributed in space. Seismic events are predominantly concentrated within well-defined seismic belts, many of which coincide with the boundaries and interaction zones of major tectonic plates. These zones represent areas of accumulated stress and active geodynamic processes, where earthquake generation is most frequent. In seismically active territories such as Bulgaria, earthquakes constitute one of the most significant natural hazards due to their potential societal and infrastructural ...

This study presents a comparative retrospective analysis of the spatio-temporal dynamics of climatic parameters within the territory of Aktobe Region for two periods: 1970–2000 and 2000–2025. The methodological framework of the study is based on geographic information system (GIS) technologies, the WorldClim global raster climate database, and verified observational data from the stationary meteorological network of RSE “Kazhydromet.” The aim of the research is to identify trends in mean annual, maximum, a...

Abstract This study examines the tourist valorization of speleological heritage in the Republic of Kosovo. Owing to its geological, geomorphological, hydrological, cultural-historical, and biological heritage, as well as favorable climatic conditions, Kosovo possesses significant potential for the development of speleotourism, ecotourism, and tourism more broadly. In recent years, ecotourism has gained increasing importance within the tourism sector and is widely regarded as a key component of sustainable developm...
