STUDIES ON THE URBAN IMPACT OF THE LOCAL REGISTER OF GREEN SPACES AS A GIS TYPE INFORMATION SYSTEM
Abstract
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are solutions that cover a wide range of fields, from the management of urban resources, the introduction of satellite tracking and coordination of roads routes, tourism, civil protection, logistical support in case of natural disasters, land records, management of agricultural farms and forest fund, etc. At present there are many uses of science applied in society and which provide decision support for many beneficiaries - companies, public authorities. Thus, GIS with urban applicability is unique in terms of efficiency in terms of data accuracy, security, performance and price. Our study focuses on the hypothesis of using an application that jointly manages information and at the same time streamlines internal activity to reduce dependence on specialized institutions for obtaining information because they are already available locally. The present study quantified the urban impact of the elaboration of the Local Register of Green Spaces regarding the following aspects: the management of the green spaces located on the lands belonging to the public / private domain within the locality; the degraded lands within the built-up area of the locality may be rehabilitated and redeveloped as green spaces; isolated trees planted near traffic arteries, on the lands of educational institutions, housing estates; protected trees, regardless of their health and size. In the urban management, depending on the data obtained, the following solutions were proposed: creation of databases, collection and registration of initial data that define the health of trees with specialized equipment. The end result is the elimination of the risk of accidents and the control of the health of the urban forest resource by periodic evaluation with specialized equipment. In conclusion, the urban GIS of green spaces will lead to a good management of them in order to ensure the quality of environmental factors and the health of the population.
