Abstract

Summary. Nowadays, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) becomes a very popular tool supporting administration, decision mak-ing and spatial planning and therefore a stong demand for proffesional, detailed spatial information arises. Communities as the baseadministrative units, have turned into the primary centres for GIS data acquisition, but also become the last for using of digital spatialinformation. Communities are only becoming an important recipient of geoinformation, especially in the field of natural resources anddeposits at local level, as well as environmental, architectural historical objects, which require protection. For six years now, the Depart-ment of Fundamental Geology at the University of Silesia has launched three projects related to application of multidisciplinary digitalgeo-information at the community level. The main purpose of the projectswasthe development of technology forvariousgeological, geo-graphical and other data archiving, processing and presentation. The projects areas have been chosen to cover diferent requirementsrelatedtoindividualcommunities.ExperienceoftheprojectsundertakenbytheDepartmentmaysignificantlyreducethecostsofbuildingadatabaseandalsofacilitatetheplanningoffutureresearchactivity.Forexample,theTarnowskieGoryprojectshowshowcriticalcouldbe the historical information about abandoned underground mines for the safety of recent urbanization. The proposed methodologicalapproach emphasizes the minimizing of fundamental basic field investigation. With such an approach the community officers may do alarge part of work on constructing local database with only incidental assistance of experts.
