Research on Publication of City Planning Information by Municipal GIS

Focus on Public Disclosure Methods in Niigata City and New York City

Abstract

This study aims to clarify identify the differences in public GIS in Niigata City(e-map) and New York City(ZoLa).E-map is possible to grasp the details of regulations for the concerned location as urban planning information all at once. On the other hand, ZoLa is possible to select and view layers for each zoning, which is more detailed than in Japan. In addition, detailed information on buildings in individual tax lots is available to the public. Although there are differences in the content and methods of public disclosure through open GIS in the two cities, it is thought that each city can respond to demand in terms of whether or not a building site has been determined when users are considering building or resettling in the city.
