Using GIS tools to assist the management of the area of limited use around the airport and the direction of development of the system

The study contains a description of the use of GIS tools in compensation proceedings using the example of the area of limited use set up for the Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice. Additionally, the study describes the development history of the system so far and presents future trends allowing integration of the existing system with projects fulfilling requirements of particular airport departments. Consistently taken development steps will ultimately allow reducing the expenses incurred in relation to compensation proceedings on account of noise emissions and allow significantly better management of the infrastructure of Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice
