A DIGITAL ANALYSIS OF LAND PLOTS AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Abstract

The relevance of the study is driven by the challenges of modern urbanization, such as infrastructure overload, social and environmental issues, which necessitate new tools for sustainable urban development. The article presents the development of a web application designed to automate the planning of development for individual land plots within the framework of comprehensive territorial development. A comparative analysis of existing software solutions (ArcGIS Urban, CityZenith, CityEngine) was conducted, revealing their limitations, including high cost and complexity of adaptation. As an alternative, the architecture and a functional algorithm for a web application are proposed and implemented. The application integrates data from the Public Cadastral Map and OpenStreetMap to analyze infrastructure within a 500-meter radius of a plot. The system automatically generates recommendations on permissible types of development based on Land Use and Development Rules. The application's operation is demonstrated through the analysis of plots in Volgograd, including functional and load testing. The developed tool offers practical value for municipal authorities, developers, and designers by optimizing the urban planning decision-making process.
