Kamenice nad Lipou modernizes property management thanks to digital map portal

The town of Kamenice nad Lipou in the Vysočina region has taken the path of modern digitalization and now uses the Mawis Geoportal map portal from Hrdlička spol. s r.o. for the management of its property.The web-based map application combining maps and cadastral data, aerial maps and other public documents with the passports of the town’s property brings a significant simplification and streamlining of work with the management of agendas for which Mawis Geoportal has been deployed.

Main records in the map portal

Employees of the municipal authority in Kamenice nad Lipou use the Mawis Geoportal for the management of the public lighting passport, the road passport, the cemetery passport and the agenda for dealing with requests for comments on the existence of networks.

A web application with data stored in the cloud allows office staff to work with current data from virtually anywhere. Users can quickly add and edit passports, add photos and other necessary contractual and other documentary attachments.

For more complex data tasks, data workers are supported by a team of data scientists, the supplier’s GIS specialists.

Most appreciated features

According to city staff, the most useful tool of the new system has become the management of requests for comments on the existence of networks directly above the map. The function of displaying received requests directly on the map and allowing them to be processed directly and the opinions created on them to be stored eliminates the need to keep separate records of requests and opinions. Everything is clearly displayed on the map and the map layers of the city’s technical networks are available for the clerk to assess individual requests. This allows him to create opinions more quickly and over accurate documents by comparing the status of the networks with the polygon of the application area directly in the application.

Another appreciated functionality is the ability to upload various types of drawings including dgn, dwg, shp, vfk and xml formats and display them. Workers do not need specialized software to preview city project drawings; they can even open them in the Geoportal in composition with the city’s network and passport maps.

The system also includes a link to the cadastre and the digital topographic model of the Czech Republic, which provides users with a comprehensive overview.

The municipal staff liked the simple and intuitive operation of the system.

Digitalisation as the way forward

The example of the town of Kamenice nad Lipou shows that digitisation of asset management can be a real benefit for towns and municipalities. Modern technologies simplify the daily work of officials and increase the efficiency of municipal property management.

What does Mr. Bc. Milan Procházka (City Informatician and GIS Administrator)

During the second half of 2024, we gradually switched from a locally installed system at the stations to the web-based Mawis Geoportal. The main reason for the transition was the ability to work with the system from anywhere. The new system operates from the cloud via a web interface, so we are not tied to a connection to the City’s server. Thus, we can draw network runs and other information provided by the GIS directly from the field. A big bonus is the extension of the functions – functionality, especially the possibility to comment on the existence of networks directly from the system (it also keeps a record of individual comments). I would also like to highlight the possibility to add your own data to the GIS – to the map (information about the furniture, notes, photos) and to view the supplied maps and drawings in the appropriate drawing formats (dgn…). The whole new system is much more comfortable.
