Principles of creating a National Spatial Data System
The article analyzes in detail the processes of formation and development of the National Spatial Data System – an open system and the most important tool for the digitalization and systematization of open spatial data in Russia. Spatial information is of great importance for optimization of public administration processes (in the sphere of land and property relations), planning of territorial use, implementation of infrastructure projects, cadastral accounting, as well as for meeting the needs of the population, business and government agencies in the field of ecology, defense, agriculture, forestry and other industries. The authors focus on the importance of creating an integrated digital resource where real estate information cartographic data, and territorial planning will be collected on a single multifunctional platform. The paper considers in detail the goals and objectives of the state program for the creation of the National Spatial Data System. The development of domestic geoinformation software, increasing the completeness and quality of data in the Unified State Register of Real Estate and other information systems, achieving a high level of digital maturity, and improving the quality of public services are among them. The study presents the results of the system operation in four pilot regions: Perm Krai, the Republic of Tatarstan, Krasnodar Krai, and Irkutsk Oblast. The paper describes the obtained results , including the elimination of errors in the boundary register, data verification and provision of services for citizens, businesses, and government agencies. The National Spatial Data System is considered as the basis for building a unified geoinformation ecosystem, including analytics, forecasting, automated services and decision support. The paper introduces the key areas of interdepartmental interaction and technical integration. The authors make a conclusion on the project high significance for the implementation of the country spatial development strategy, including territorial planning, and for increasing the investment attractiveness of constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
