Development Of A Spatial Data Infrastructure For The Municipality Of Western Lesvos
GET successfully implemented the geographical information system (GIS) for the Municipality of Western Lesvos. The system was implemented in the framework of the project “Implementation and maintenance of information systems and digital applications of e-government and “smart city” of the Municipality of Western Lesvos”, in which GET participated as a subcontractor of the company CROWDPOLICY.
The project concerned the full development and productive operation of e-government information systems with the aim of upgrading the Municipality of Western Lesvos to a “Smart Municipality”, implementing digital applications and infrastructure systems and training services and operational support of the systems. The information systems were developed as digital tools that interoperate with the other systems of the Municipality of Western Lesvos and were put into production as a single platform in the Portal of the Municipality of Western Lesvos.
With the implementation of this project, the citizen will be served without requiring his physical presence in the Municipal shops, thus reducing the bureaucratic procedures, the inconvenience of the citizen and the waste of man-hours.
GET participated as the implementer of the Geographical Information System (Work Package 3) of this project. The work carried out by GET under this work package included:
- The design of GIS for the visualization and management of the available data of the Municipality
- The upload of the geographic information of the Municipality that does not fall under the category of personal data
- The productive operation of this system and its interconnection with other systems of the Municipality
- The training of system administrators and the design of the specific training material
Especially for the integrated Geographical Information System (GIS), GET implemented the Development of Geospatial Data Infrastructure, which includes:
- Requirements Analysis – Design
- Preparation of digital geospatial data
- Design and implementation of a Geospatial Database
- Metadata creation
- Development of Web Services
- Creation of a Geospatial Information Portal which includes a Posting Section for Non-Georeferenced Data.
Finally, GET developed an online application that provides immediate and easy dynamic access in almost real time to open Sentinel satellite data (1,2,3 & 5) of the European Earth Observation repository Copernicus, for the entire area of the municipality.
