Description

The paper deals with the experience obtained by a team formed by computer and urban planning professionals of the MCB in setting up a computer data base model which allows the permanent keeping up of territorial information on property tax and other related property taxes and land use planning. It summarizes the main results obtained through its application during the last two years in working out a numerical and graphical computer data base model that up to now covers 11 out of the 27 municipalities that form the MCB; that is, it covers an urban territory of about 4,600 hectares and a population of around 215,000 inhabitants who mainly belong to the metropolitan municipalities with minor and medium size. The keeping up of the information system is done on a day-to-day basis by each one of those 11 municipalities connected through a terminal network with the central computer of the MCB. This information system has been planned to be made easily extensible to the rest of the metropolitan municipalities.
