The concept of a computer-based information system as disoussed by the author was prompted by analysis of regional aspects of administration. Studies performed by the author revealed not only problems of methodological nature in the field of designing information systems for regional authorities but also difficulties in describing decision problems at this level of administration. The aim of euch information system is to provide indispensable information for control and assessment of socio-eoonomic, and cultural phenomena occuring within a region, and for planning, co-ordinating, and forecasting their effective development. The information system perceived in this manner and expected to accomplish many functions should be based on a multilevel common data base. The main problem will consist in creation and maintenance of complex data structures.
