Planning Telecommunications Infrastructure in Kosovo through Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Abstract

Nowadays, we know how important it is for a country to have a good telecom infrastructure, including Kosovo. The purpose of this paper is to plan the telecommunications infrastructure based on the geographic information provided by GIS. By using these systems, we can draw analyses and conclusions on the possibility of planning the extension of this infrastructure in the future, consequently conveying ideas to different sectors of development or for using telecommunications infrastructure. The data by which the scenarios of this study have been drafted, are real and generated in Prishtina. They are employed to illustrate the use and techniques of GIS.
