The Geographical information System in use in the Basque Country (CAPV) for territorial planning support is known as UDAPLAN, we are told. Each year it is fed by on going planning decisions from each of the Autonomic Region`s townships along with all overall Organic and General Structuring decisions and such as affect land use qualifying. It also boasts an alpha-numeric component that indicates just how much of what has been settled to be done has been accomplished in each and all of the area covered by the system. The data base also offers a series of graphic digests giving information as to Areas of Endeavour, Historical Provinces and Territory and the Autonomous Region as such. UDAPLAN is on offer in print, DVD or as a website. The DVD at present in use uses OCX MapObjects Lt of ESRI and is programmed in Visual Basic 6.0 and stores GIS information on a shapefi le format. The website is likewise based on ESRI technology and maps on an ArcIMS server. Besides the foregoing, we are also told that work is underway to meet the calls of the European INSPIRE directive. UDAPLAN is thus seen here as a tool for understanding the territory it covers and as offering a service as precise as it is needful in an up to the minute manner that can only satisfy the calls and challenges that our society must make upon it.
