Of the numerous applications of GIS, administration and public services count among the main fields of application. They are both the users and the owners of the largest amount of spatial data. Portals for higher authorities have been the subject of extensive discussions, but the development and possible use of GIS systems in the form of geoportals at local levels still seems to have been insufficiently discussed. This article presents the process of designing and developing a portal for the lowest authorities - local authorities and the local community. A small town in Poland, Sokółka, was assumed as the study area. The concept development was preceded by, among others: recognition of the needs of an administrative unit in conducting spatial policy; establishment of the objectives, functionalities and assumptions of the designed GIS; a SWOT analysis of the designed geoportal; and an analysis of data resources. Pilot implementation was completed with an evaluation of the geoportal encompassing various groups of potential users.

Aim: The aim of the study is to present the concepts of virtual space functioning in literature and to analyse the quality and quantity of three forms of presentation of tourist spatial data, such as geoportal, virtual walk (excursion) or a video. Methodology: The paper uses descriptive and comparative methods. Results: On the basis of the conducted research it was founded that the most represented form of tourist information is a virtual tour. Among the analysed cities, Kraków has the largest number of virtual tours. Discussion: The obtained results allowed us to state that geoportals and virtual walks allow for greater interaction with the user and provide great freedom of choice of content. Thus, they are a good tool for promoting cities. However, they cannot replace the penetration of real tourism space. There is a large dispersion of materials on the web, which increases the time of obtaining information by a potential tourist.

This paper discusses the challenges to a wider access to archival cartographic materials. The aim of the study is to present and evaluate the preparation of historical maps for presentation in geoportals. The authors use the example of two maps from the early twentieth century, without information on the spatial relations, to trace the course of their processing into a form that allows them to be published in spatial data structures. The descriptions of subsequent stages include theoretical and practical aspects of the procedure. Particular attention was paid to the factors affecting the accuracy of spatial fit that affects the ability to use them further.

Artykuł odnosi się do trudności w szerokim dostępie do archiwalnych materiałów kartograficznych. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie i ocena przygotowania map historycznych do prezentacji w geoportalu. Autorzy na przykładzie dwóch map z początku XX wieku, nieposiadających informacji o odniesieniu przestrzennym, prześledzili proces ich przetworzenia do postaci umożliwiającej udostępnienie w strukturach danych przestrzennych. W opisie kolejnych etapów uwzględniono aspekty teoretyczne, jak i praktyczne postępowania. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na czynniki wpływające na dokładność wpasowania przestrzennego rzutującego na możliwości dalszego ich wykorzystania.
