GIS projects
Municipal information system for Törökbálint
The aim of this project was to establish the land registration and cadastral mapping utilities (water, electricity, gas, channels, telephone, cable TV), planning, tax and social tasks at the local government of Törökbálint financed by OMFB. (This project is a reference project of OMFB.) NATINFO, as a geographical information system for nature conservation
This project targets handling protected objects such as animals, plants, historic and etnograhic memorials in protected areas and national parks. This project started at 1992 and has been being scheduled.
Regarding PHARE that finances this project partly, the strategy plan was made by ISIS for PHARE office in 1993. The detailed system plan was also prepared by ISIS.
The system has three levels: outline (rate: 1:200 000), topographic (1:50 000), cadastral (1:10 000 outside, 1:4000 inside settlements). The outline level is finished. Topographic level is scheduling. The topographic level for Bükk National Park has finished. Cadastral level has not finished yet but there are two areas where this level is complete such as Káli-basin on Balaton Highland and Tihany protected area

Soil information system for Hungary
This information system is the only soil information system that has every soil spot having correct topological structure. More than 4000 soil spots are included and every soil spot has 10 parameters. This system works in National Authority of Nature Conservation and AGROBER Ltd. The GIS database is available on Arc/Info and MapInfo platform on PC and SUN machines.

Labour information system
In the Ministry of Labour Issues and National Labour Center two information systems were installed in order to handle the high unemployment rate in Hungary. The system contains unemployment data from all Hungary, from every local labour office (it is about 180 region).

Decision support system for state administration at Ministry of Interior
This system was developed at the end of 1993. The purpose of this system is to handle data of settlements.
This system is based on the 1:200.000 map of Hungarian Military Cartography Institute. ISIS converted this digital map to topological correct form and matched alphanumeric data of every settlement. It means about 3200 data record and 400 data per record.
The databases consist of the following data groups:
several kind of population data, industry, health, shops and markets, infrastructure (water, gas, electricity, channel), unemployment Further database is included such as data about local governments, lord major and his telephone numbers, addresses.
This information system is based on this huge database that is updated quarterly years.

Insurance information system for OTP Garancia Biztosító Rt.
This system basically includes ten PC and MapInfo based work stations with several modules containing agent success factors, customer information, kinds of insurance construction and contracts. Consequently the system is a very powerful tool for risk analysis.

Geographical Information System for WESTEL 900 GSM Rt.
This information system handles electromagnetic field power all over Hungary to identify shadowed areas. The system can read field survey data from GPS (Global Positioning System) units along roads. Recently this database is about 0.5 GB. The applied GIS software is MapInfo.

Integrated Geographical Information System for Ministry for Environment and Regional Policy
This system is based on a MapInfo network all over Hungary. This system was installed for nine national parks, twelve local authorities for environment and six unit at the centre in Budapest. The information system includes nature conservation data, environmental and pollution data. Based on this system every local unit can use all database that ministry collects.

Concession Information System for Hungarian Oil and Gas Industries p. l. c. (MOL Rt.)
This is a decision support system for the top executives of MOL Rt. which helps in cost/benefit analysis of an oil and gas field in question.
The system is based on the ADC WorldMap split into separate target countries and includes hydrocarbon concession fields, wells, outlines and several kinds of oil and gas data. This part of database comes from the PETROCONSULTANT Ltd. (Switzerland) in ARC/Info format regarding that Petroworld database uses ArcView. Taking MapInfo abilities into account, a MapInfo-based concession information system is more powerful and easier to use than a system based on ARC/INFO.
There are three levels of the MOL's system:

The outline and country level has been finished integrated with Petroworld database and satellite images for several perspective countries. The field level has just started.
The current size of the database is about 4 Gbyte. The system is running on a SUN SPARCstation 20 GIS workstation and file server; PC clients are also connected to the SUN.
