The Bétera City Council Planning Department creates the Bétera Geographic Information System which purpose is the collection, analysis, maintenance and distribution of municipal information likely to be georeferenced, either alphanumeric or graphic. The main idea is achieve interoperability between public administrations and departments within the municipality located in different buildings and through mobile units.

There was a GIS developed using MapObjects that supported shape and dxf data formats. It was necessary to migrate to a free GIS and develop more functionalities:

• Development of a GIS to manage geoinformation related to the Valencian coast
• Use of a spatial database and access to it through OGC services
• Development of not georeferred image analysis tools
