Abstract

This research was carried out as part of a PhD thesis: local spatial data infrastructure (LSDI) assessment and development model in the Republic of Croatia. Forty-three percent of cities have GIS or LSDI for city management. The percentage of LSDIs in cities in Croatia is rising. In five years, from 2011 to 2016, there were six percent more LSDIs in Croatia. LSDIs in Croatia have problems with many factors related to SDI: organizational, informational, human resources, technological and financial resources. There is a difference between LSDI readiness in smaller and bigger cities. Bigger cities (by budget and by population) are much more ready than small cities for LSDI development and management. Besides the budget and population, the existence of an IT expert in city government has a positive influence on the development and quality of LSDI in cities.
