Spatial Information System Bavaria; specialized information system for state and regional planning

The Bavarian Spatial Information System (RISBY) is a geographic information system with topics relating to state and regional planning. These specialist topics can be combined with other specialist data as well as maps and aerial photographs from the Bavarian Surveying Administration.

The Spatial Information System Bavaria consists of the following pillars:

• the geoinformation system with spatial data (geodata). It contains, among other things, the structural map of the Bavarian State Development Program, contents from the regional plans and other specialist data, which can be combined as required with data from the Bavarian Surveying Administration, such as maps and aerial photographs, some of which have to be licensed.

• Geodata services, which make it possible to use spatial data (geodata) with the help of the Internet.

The published geodata services are integrated into the RISBY application and can also be accessed on the homepage of the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy and in the Geoportal Bayern and integrated into other geoinformation systems or viewers.

The following geodata services are offered:

Regional planning in Bavaria: The geodata services contain various layers from selected thematic areas of regional planning from the Bavarian Spatial Information System (RISBY), such as energy, transportation, nature and landscape, water management and securing raw materials. As a rule, the display range covers a scale of 1:15,000 to 1:500,000; the reference scale is 1:100,000. Note: These services only represent selected regional plan determinations on the topics and do not replace the solely binding original version of the regional plan. In addition to the graphic representations of the objectives and principles, the regional plans contain binding textual specifications on the topic and their justification.

Alpine Plan: The Alpine Plan regulates the development of the Bavarian Alps in the Bavarian State Development Program (LEP) with zones A, B and C with transport projects such as cable cars and lifts, insofar as they serve public transport, ski, grass ski and skibob runs, toboggan runs and summer slides, public roads, private roads and private paths (with the exception of hiking trails) and airports (see 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 LEP). Only the publication in the Bavarian Law and Ordinance Gazette No. 16 of 30.08.2013 (sheets 2 and 3) and No. 23 of 03.12.2019 (sheet 1) at a scale of 1:100,000 is legally binding.
