Santa Cruz de Tenerife 28 Feb. (Europa Press) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife unveiled the new island viewer for territorial information this Friday, providing citizens, businesses, and administrations with “the most comprehensive collection of public geographic data” available on the island. Consequently, anyone can freely access over 100 intelligent maps.
This viewer consolidates certified information related to urban planning, infrastructure, environment, transportation, and other vital aspects of the territory, as specified by the island institution in a statement.
Rosa Dávila, the president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, emphasised that this viewer “not only simplifies access to information, but also saves time and money for citizens and businesses, which will no longer need to navigate administrative procedures to acquire essential data.”
Furthermore, Dávila added, it enhances the operational capacity of local administrations and the Cabildo itself, enabling more informed and precise decisions regarding territorial management and sustainable development.
“Today, Tenerife advances in innovation, transparency, and digitalisation. With this new viewer, we provide a tool that will assist us in creating a better planned, more accessible, and more efficient island.”
José Miguel Ruano, the second vice president, highlighted “the unprecedented advancement in transparency and digitalisation” represented by the viewer, allowing “for the first time” immediate consultation of crucial data for decision-making without intermediaries.
The efforts of the Cabildo de Tenerife have been acknowledged for “promoting modernisation, efficiency, and transparency” in administration, both internally and concerning the services provided to citizens.
As a result, it has been underscored how the availability of certified information removes bureaucratic obstacles, leading to savings in both time and money for citizens, businesses, and administrations alike.
INTERFACE
The new island viewer, accessible via any web browser, features an intuitive interface, with its downloadable information layers allowing users to explore data such as land management, urban planning, geolocation of cultural assets (BIC), water security, road infrastructure, and telecommunications.
Additionally, the tool aims to enhance the management capacities of administrations, facilitating service planning and the implementation of strategic projects.
Since its launch, the institution notes, the system has recorded over 150,000 internal accesses, with an average of 270 active users. More than 115,000 downloads of cartographic products have occurred in partnership with the public company Grafcan.
Beyond simply granting access to information, this initiative by the Cabildo de Tenerife aspires to promote innovation and sustainability.
Moreover, by integrating data concerning the environment, transportation, and energy, the viewer becomes an essential resource for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and enhancing quality of life on the island, as explained by the Cabildo.
