Abstract: The purpose of this article is to investigate modern approaches, methodologies, and principles in the application of geoinformation systems (GIS) in urban planning decisions. The study provides an in-depth analysis of the functional capabilities of GIS and emphasizes their integration with complementary technologies such as remote sensing, global positioning systems (GPS), and building information modeling (BIM). By consolidating diverse spatial data sources, GIS facilitates comprehensive analysis and visualization of urban environments, thereby supporting informed decision-making in urban development. Recent technological advancements have enabled the creation of dynamic digital urban models that simulate various planning scenarios. These models allow urban planners to assess infrastructure requirements, optimize land use, and predict future growth trends. The integration of real-time data via cloud-based platforms further enhances the responsiveness and accuracy of urban planning processes, contributing significantly to sustainable urban development. The integration of data from numerous sources - satellite imagery, aerial photography, cadastral registers, GPS measurements, and remote sensing results - allows us to create a comprehensive digital model of urban space that provides a sound analysis of spatial processes. Integrated geographic information systems open up new horizons for urban planning and management, providing operational monitoring and accurate forecasting of changes in the urban environment. Further research should focus on optimizing data analysis algorithms and developing flexible information platforms with the introduction of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things technologies, which will significantly expand the capabilities of modern urban planning solutions. Such a synergistic approach allows identifying potential problem areas, optimizing the location of infrastructure facilities, and developing recommendations for modernizing urban planning policy. The research findings confirm that geoinformation systems are an essential tool in modern urban planning. They not only improve the precision of spatial analysis but also contribute to the efficient allocation of resources and the formulation of proactive strategies to tackle urban challenges. Consequently, the use of GIS is instrumental in promoting sustainable growth and enhancing the quality of life in urban areas.
