Abstract

The process of studying urban planning implies the involvement of land use and land surface studies. They are largely necessary on a range of topics and issues. Sustainable development depends on con-trolling the effects of change. GIS can achieve this through its various capabilities, which can be used by urban planners and decision makers. GIS can operate as a tool and as a system, or even as a group of systems that work simultaneously or sequentially. GIS is one of the most important applica-tions of urban planning. This study is devoted to the peculiarities of the use of geoinformation tech-nologies in urban planning. The problems of limiting the use of GIS in urban planning are identified. The main types of GIS in urban planning, which are database management, visualization, spatial analysis and spatial modeling, as well as the most commonly used functions (interpolation, map over-lay, buffering and connectivity measurement) and options for their use depending on different tasks and stages of urban development, as well as the advantages of raster and vector data. The article also reflects the emergence and development of spatial decision support system (SDSS) and planning sup-port system (PSS) in urban planning. The role of GIS in the analysis of spatial planning is formulated.
