Summary/Abstract: The Act of spatial planning, which is the foundation of spatial management in Poland, requires includingin the planning documents a number of terms, conditions and principles of space formation. All kind of spatia lplanning analysis is based on detailed inventory of actual land use. Analyses enabling inclusion of all the required elements are increasingly being implemented through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This article aims to show the broad scope of possible integration of spatial planning and geoinformatics. The study presents legal requirements related to the preparation of basic planning documents, as well as a review of literature on the implementation of GIS tools in spatial planning. In addition, the paper presents also practical examples of the QGISsoftware application that could be useful for any kind of spatial or strategic documents preparation.
