The two main urban planning IT systems of the Moscow region are integrated with each other

The project to create a regional geo-information system of the Moscow Region (RGIS) was approved at a meeting of the regional government in October 2012.

Functionality

The system should include information about real estate, land management, about zones with special conditions of use, including security zones, planning of the road network, cartographic and statistical information. In addition, within the framework of the RGIS, information on specially protected areas, urban planning plans, information on solid waste landfills, markets, as well as information on health care, culture, education, etc. Information is superimposed on the cartographic basis in the form of thematic layers.

Financing

Decree No. 49/3 of 30.01.2017 established that financing of measures to ensure the functioning of the RGIS should be carried out at the expense of the budget of the Moscow Region within the budget allocations provided for by state the Moscow Region Effective Power program for 2017-2021, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Moscow Region dated 25.10.2016 No. 781/39 "On approval of the state program of the Moscow Region" Effective Power "for 2017-2021."

In 2012, 10 million rubles were allocated for the creation of a prototype of the RGIS and the analysis of the existing system of the Moscow region at that time. For 2013, 150 million rubles were pledged. According to the estimates of the Minister of Public Administration, IT and Communications of the Moscow Region Maksut Shadayev, a total of about 300 million rubles are required for the system. if the region wants to take high-precision shooting of the entire region.

One of the first systems to move to an open DBMS will be the RGIS of the Moscow Region.
