Draft:Sistema de Información Territorial e Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales del Principado de Asturias

  • Comment: The article/draft was originally called "SITPA-IDEAS". Someone renamed it later, perhaps following some policy or recommendation. But I agree that the new name is too long, and the abbreviation "SITPA-IDEAS" should be used instead (for example, "MS-DOS" article isn't named as "Microsoft Disk Operating System").

  • Comment: The title for this article is rather long. I recommend that this title be made shorter for readers to search the article easier. Toadette (Happy holiday!) 08:10, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Blogspot sites can not be used as sources. The official website of the subject should only be used to prove small details that other independent sources did not cover. It is recommended to use a number of significant coverage from reliable and independent sources to prove the claims on this article instead. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 12:00, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

SITPA-IDEAS (Territorial Information System and Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Principality of Asturias; in Spanish, Sistema de Información Territorial e Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales del Principado de Asturias) is a Spatial Data Infrastructure and geoportal where all kinds of geographic information of interest of Principality of Asturias are made available.[1][2] Its coordination, management and maintenance is the responsibility of General Directorate of Territorial Planning, through the Cartography Service, in collaboration with the different departments of the Government of Principality of Asturias, who either share the geographic information they generate, or work together with the Service, in order to generate new geographic information.[3]

History[edit]

SITPA (Territorial Information System of the Principality of Asturias) was started in 2000[1] by the Government of Principality of Asturias, in order to make available to the public the geographic information it had, because it was considered of great interest, not only for its own specific tasks, but also for other applications.[3]

The Spatial Data Infrastructure of Asturias, IDEAS, created in 2010[1], was later integrated along with SIPTA into the new SITPA-IDEAS geoportal,[4] launched in 2020.

Available contents[edit]

It has a download center,[5] from which it is possible to download basic cartography (topographic maps of Principality of Asturias at 1:5000 and 1:10000 scale, as well as other maps at different scales), aerial images from different years, an elevations model,[6] historical and thematic cartography, etc.

SITPA-IDEAS also includes a map viewer,[2] where thematic maps about topics such as animal species distribution[7] or mobile phone coverage[8] can be viewed.
