VI. CONCLUSIONS
GIS technology in civil engineering is widely used at
present. It is mainly due to the accessibility of modern
measuring and information technologies. GIS phenomenon
consists in data presentations through web portals on the
internet. GIS products are accessible to the general public.
GIS and records of electronic documents working on the
database principle enable to make use of information more
effectively. In the state administration and self-rule authority
the usage of GIS leads to the simplification of decision
processes and thus lowering the administration bureaucracy.
The accessibility of complex information concerning the
locality in the preparatory phase of the building structures
leads to possibility of their maximum usage or specification
and completion, and time and financial costs are indirectly
lowered. The efficiency of the whole process of the building
structures preparation is increased. Great complex building
structures intentions require a wider social consensus of
admittance which can be presented with the help of
computer in model variants and can get wider support
among the users.
Mobile GIS, mainly with on 1ine internet connection and
possibility to make use of data resources in field, becomes a
strong tool in the whole construction process.
Taking into consideration the complications and long-
term period of the construction process, it would be effective
to store all documents designs and information in a unified
platform-information system of building structures. The
efficiency of this homogenous platform would excel mainly
during the process of structures reconstruction.
