In the 21st century, at constant economic and industrial development, the efficient and fast management of technical infrastructure is a key element. Its quality and technical condition considerably influence rural development, possibi-lities to acquire capital, create new jobs, etc. One of the key issues is the road infrastructure, i.e., network of commune roads, and its condition, while the possibility of management and promptness of decision making determine and are of key importance for planning further development of the commune.In order to manage the road network efficiently and fast, the commune needs all available relevant information. Data describing road technical parameters are the spatial data. Accumulation of the data in geographical database gives a general spatial picture of the commune road network. All data describing roads are recorded in so called road books. The obligation is imposed on the communes by the Minister of Infrastructure Regulation in the method of numbering and registration of public roads [Journal of Laws, No. 67, Items 582 and 583 of 25 April, 2005].The main objective of the presented paper was the realization of a geogra-phical database of the parameters of road network for the Raciechowice Commune Authorities using GPS receiver and the MapSource and ArcView ...
The execution of tasks in the range of rural landscape protection and sha-ping, space management and planning requires relevant geographic information. At present, this information is collected in all kinds of databases and the key questions concern their topicality and usefulness. DGPS (Differential GPS) and RTK (Real Time Kinematic) satellite posi-tioning techniques are used for geodetic works and for collecting geo-spatial data for GIS systems. This paper presents the evaluation of the usefulness of the selected Mobile Mapper Topcon GMS-2 satellite receiver for the construction of databases for street furniture objects (shrines, roadside crosses, monuments, commemorative plaques, etc.). Research measurements were conducted in the right of way of national road no. 79 in the Kraków - Sandomierz section. It has been demonstrated in the paper that the applied DGPS technique allows for field location of objects in real time with the accuracy up to 1m. The result is the creation of the database of geographic data of the measured objects in Quantum GIS programme. The presented methodology has confirmed high usefulness of the proposed solution with the relatively low costs of measurement equipment. ...
