GIS-Steiermark is the spatial data infrastructure of the state of Styria . It sees itself as a public service facility. It integrates content from location-specific planning bases from all areas of the Styrian state administration and cooperates with other state agencies, federal institutions, municipalities and private individuals. GIS-Styria makes this geodata and the value-added products generated from it available to the provincial administration and external parties, in particular business, research institutions and citizens. It implements the administrative geodata infrastructure of the State of Styria.

review

The first activities were initiated in connection with the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 through the creation of radiation exposure maps. In 1987 the contract for hardware and software was awarded, which put the state GIS on track. Comprehensive data surveys followed, including all relevant departments in the state. After the system was run as the Landes-Umwelt-Informations-System (LUIS) in the first years , it was renamed GIS-Styria in 1993 . The largest GIS project to date was the comprehensive digitization of the land cadastre in the years 2000–2003 in cooperation with the Federal Office for Metrology and Surveying (BEV) and the Chamber of Architects and Engineering Consultants for Styria and Carinthia. Since the advent of Internet technology, GIS-Styria has made a large amount of geographic information freely available via web applications . In June 2008 the GIS-Styria was registered as a trademark. Since 2013, digital color orthophotos have been generated by the Federal Office and the federal states via an Austria-wide cooperation project. It is operated by the Statistics and Geoinformation unit in Department 17.

Strategic direction

GIS-Styria pursues the following four essential strategic goals:

  • Provide planning bases for the regional state location policy.
  • Achieve a high level of GIS usage within the state.
  • Enable broad external use of regional geographic information.
  • Force the expansion of the state geodata infrastructure.

GIS-Styria geodata pool

The collection of geodata from GIS-Styria now includes over 700 thematic individual levels, which are managed in a central geodatabase and documented in a geodata catalog. The largest currently ongoing basic data creation projects are the ongoing updating of aerial photographs or orthophotos and the preparation of an Austria-wide cooperation between the federal government and the federal states for the comprehensive updating of the existing ALS data from epoch 1. At the same time, location-specific specialist information is continuously provided by all state offices in the GIS-Styria taken over.

The geodata pool is available to all employees of the state administration and is passed on in extracts to external parties, primarily free of charge as part of state contracts. In terms of the legally required non-discriminatory access to public information, the terms of use and price lists regulate further use outside of public contracts.

GIS-Styria on the Internet

The "Digital Atlas of Styria" is a free web application with which a large part of the content of the GIS-Styria can be freely queried and visualized. An overview of the web map services can be found on the GIS-Steiermark homepage. Examples are basic maps with addresses, aerial photos, content from spatial planning, climate atlas, water information, traffic, nature conservation, geology, etc. v. a. m. GIS-Steiermark is Austria's partner in the geodata network of the Austrian states geoland.at together with the other countries . Another cooperation project is basemap.at , this internet-enabled map of Austria, based on the official geodata of the nine countries and their partners.
