Abstract

Cities are a complex social institution. A special feature of cities is the development of engineering and transport infrastructure. In this article, to assess the state of the urban agglomeration, the transport system of the city is considered as an indicator of social comfort. As part of the support, control and management of the urban environment, administrative authorities use information technologies that are implemented using geographical information systems (GIS). These GIS take into account all indicators of social comfort, which are based on spatial data about the urban environment. From this, we present the concept of an urban environment data management model for public authorities. The model is based on geoinformation systems. Since the geoinformation analysis allows you to create thematic maps of the urban environment with their subsequent assessment and calculation of indicators of social comfort. For this purpose, an analysis algorithm is presented for the main indicators of transport infrastructure assessment. Thus, this study provides an opportunity to assess the state of the city model and set goals for the development of urban transport networks to increase the level of social comfort of the population.
