Summary/Abstract: This article presents the analysis of the legal aspects of administrative systems for reporting problems and ideas using maps (geolocation – spatial data) via the Internet. As part of the analysis of such systems, the 19115 system functioning in Warsaw was presented in detail. In the article, the legal regulation of the 19115 system which is of an intra-organizational character was referred to the provisions of generally binding laws – Section VIII of the Code of Administrative Procedure and the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 8 January 2002 on the organization of receipt and processing of complaints and requests. The research confirmed that the functional interpretation of these laws leads to the conclusion that the systems at issue are generally consistent with them. The problems and ideas submitted by residents through such systems should be treated as requests within the meaning of the Code of Administrative Procedure. However, in order to avoid doubts and practical difficulties, it is advisable to amend Section VIII of the Administrative Procedure Code and the Regulation of the Council of Ministers of 8 January 2002 on the organization of the receipt and processing of complaints and requests in accordance with the submitted de lege ferenda conclusions. They assume, inter alia, the introduction of an explicit legal basis for establishing such systems.
