GIS IN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

The paper deals with the possibility of using geographic information systems in the real estate market. Using these systems allows to simplify and accelerate plot analysis before the final decision about investicion. The solution allows to reduce the time-consuming data acquisition and its evaluation thanks to the automatic analysis of a plot togesther with the warning of risks in the location under consideration. In order to choose the most effective solution, an analysis of the real estate market and the current procedures for land analysis is necessary in all the phases of the project such as, in the investment, the project, the implementation and intermediation. The result is an automated system generating plot analysis report, including a list of risks in the location of the project area, with a link to current legislative restrictions. This solution saves time and resources for architects, developers, real estate agencies, but also for the general public, who often do not have sufficient skills to evaluate the qualities and risks of the area.
