Up-to-date digital data are key to effective infrastructure management in any field. They provide an opportunity to significantly improve the quality of management decisions and reduce the time for their adoption. Geodata is actively used in the world to build effective systems and has significantly advanced in the development of geographic information technologies.
Ukraine mainly has an array of outdated, fragmented and sketchy data, on the basis of which it is impossible to make effective decisions. Lack of relevant geo-information significantly complicates the processes of coordination of actions of state and local authorities, infrastructure management, emergency response, development of territorial development strategies, and also does not allow for full monitoring and control.
