Abstract

The subject of this research was to develop an effective strategy for combining various data sources, including the feasibility of implementing BIM in CityGML into an existing system supported by the GIS program. The study analyzed the path for converting BIM files to the CityGML format and the course of transmission of this data and data from the completed queries to the GIS program. An overview of external sources, map services, tools for acquiring accurate information about the terrain, and IT tools that could potentially be used was also carried out. The collected data proved deficiencies in the geospatial information of the analyzed area, defining the type of missing data necessary for the planned analyses. The results made it possible to determine further work and the basis for developing a plugin for the QGIS program. The plugin should facilitate energy efficiency, urban, and architectural analyses. The article also discusses the future opportunities for developing research directions for developing new 3D models of cities and collecting data for analysis. The analyses took into account the directions of geometric changes in 3D models as the result of the rapid development of digital tools. Ultimately, this research demonstrated the development demand for modern digital tools in the context of spatial and urban analysis, emphasizing the dynamic evolution in the field of GIS and the prospects of accelerating work on the integration of spatial data and their analysis thanks to the possibility of using open-source programs and our own efforts for their expansion.
