Innsbruck – How much did the heaviest Innsbruck baby born last year weigh (4840 grams), how many people commute to Innsbruck every day (51,000) and how many out (18,000) and which district has the highest average age (the Olympic village with .) 46 years)? For those who have always wanted to find out more about the state capital, there is now a new digital platform. The Innsbruck Geo was presented yesterday, and in future thousands of pieces of information about Stadtaktiv will be available – from crime and settlement movements to the level of education and marital status of its residents.
The new platform was programmed in six months of work. “Our weakness so far has been external communication. Only insiders found die, die we provide, die one or the other service did not exhaust the possibility ”, the Innsbruck GIS consultant Eckehard Ranninger, who was mainly responsible for the idea and development.
Much known data has now been processed interactively. But there is also a whole pool of figures that has not yet been conveyed to the outside world, he said.
“It’s up to you to click your way through”, the Innsbruck statistics officer Mathias Behmann invited on a voyage of discovery. A total of 14 subject areas were dealt with. So you can look up the migration balance in the surrounding communities or find out that the area of Innsbruck is quickly the same size as that of Paris. Except that the Tyrolean capital is only 30 percent settable. A lot of data that is otherwise difficult to access is so easy to grasp. In addition, apps such as the Friedhofsapp or the Covid-Quickapp can be accessed on the platform. And there are story maps marked in this way, which can be used to tell interesting stories about Innsbruck. A lot is in preparation here too.
Ranninger promised that the geoHub platform should always be filled with new content in the future. “GeoHub clearly shows what our city has to offer. Departments can present themselves, ”said Mayor Georg Willi enthusiastically. One is a pioneer here and the first provincial capital of Austria dies, such a platform dies, he shows.
The project is part of the city’s digitization offensive, explained those responsible. The IT department is currently being restructured, and the Innsbruck website will also be redesigned in the coming year. The platform can be found under www.innsbruck.gv.at/geohub
