DESCRIPTION:According to the goals of the European Communications "2030 Dig
 ital Compass: the European way for the Digital Decade" and “Open Source 
 Software Strategy 2020 – 2023” regarding the digitalization and the us
 e of the Open-Source solution inside the Public Administrations\, this pap
 er presents the approach followed for the realization of an Open-Source We
 b-GIS to transfer all the information assets related to the public works\,
  that must be judged by the Regional Technical Administrative Committee (C
 .R.T.A). The developed Web-GIS consists of a platform to support the “Ci
 vil Engineering” authority of the Abruzzo Region in the management of th
 e public works during their whole administrative process.  \nIn particular
 \, the main aims of the Web-GIS are:\n-	to manage in a unique shared geosp
 atial database the public works\, that must be judged by the C.R.T.A. of t
 he Abruzzo Region\; \n-	to monitor the activities and the life-cycle of th
 e public works\;\n-	to share information related to the public works both 
 with other regional authority offices and with citizens. \nIn general\, th
 e creation of a WebGIS starts from a project created on the client side wh
 ich\, in a subsequent phase\, will be loaded on a server to allow the visu
 alization\, interaction and distribution of the information among multiple
  users at the same time. \nIn this case\, the creation of GIS project for 
 the management of geo-referenced territorial and alphanumeric information 
 for their description required a careful study of the needs of the  “Civ
 il Engineering” authority of the Abruzzo Region and a definition of the 
 contents of the GIS platform\, passing through the documentation and the a
 rchives to consult and implement in the GIS. Finally\, the choice of the o
 utput to be presented was made\, also in relation to the type of end-users
  that will have to manage (regional authority employees) and view (citizen
 s) the published information. \nIn order to properly design the requested 
 Web-GIS application\, as a first step the structure of the geodatabase has
  been designed locally into the Qgis software\, one of the most famous ope
 n-source GIS software. Among the main geodatabase formats\, the geopackage
 \, an open\, OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standards-based\, platform-i
 ndependent\, portable\, self-describing\, compact format for transferring 
 geospatial information\, has been selected. The GeoPackage standard descri
 bes a set of conventions for storing it within a SQLite database. The geop
 ackage format has been selected considering the geometric entities of the 
 public works that must be stored within the database\, together with their
  attributes\, that consist of points\, multi-lines\, and multi-polygons el
 ements. In fact\, the public works that must be judged by the C.R.T.A. of 
 the Abruzzo Region can be buildings (strategic or scholar buildings or hea
 lthcare constructions)\, road works\, hydraulic works\, or land defense. T
 hese public works\, as required by the Abruzzo Region\, do not have an exa
 ct type of geometry but\, depending on its type and the type of project ca
 n be represented in the most appropriate way to understand the interventio
 n itself. The geopackage format allows storing all the information related
  to the public work in a single file\, simplifying their management. \nThe
  use of QGIS solution was made keeping in mind the idea of using LizMap so
 ftware to publish directly the contents of the geodatabase designed locall
 y in a simple way. Lizmap is an open source software designed by 3Liz\, a 
 service company revolving around QGIS software\, which facilitates the pub
 lishing of web mapping applications from QGIS Desktop using QGIS Server as
  Map Server. Another important aspect for this choice consists in the fact
  that QGIS environment is well-known among the public authorities employee
 s and this simplified the interaction during the design phase of the datab
 ase. This allows verifying if the structure of the designed database satis
 fies all the requirements of the “Civil Engineering” authority of the 
 Abruzzo Region. In addition\, in the future\, the “Civil Engineering” 
 authority of the Abruzzo Region will be able to modify or update autonomou
 sly the public works that will be subject to the judgment of the Regional 
 Technical Administrative Committee (C.R.T.A)\, directly in QGIS Desktop. \
 nAfter the realization of the project in Qgis Desktop\, in order to share 
 the map online\, the Lizmap plugin inside Qgis Desktop was used to configu
 re the publishing options\, i.e. scales\, base layers\, metadata\, etc. . 
 Once the file configuration is compiled\, it is possible to synchronize th
 e working folder with the Qgis Server. When synchronisation is complete\, 
 the QGIS project can also be accessed on the Internet\, through the Lizmap
  Web Client application using a web browser. Lizmap Web Client is installe
 d on QGIS Server in order to insert projects and it allows to configure th
 e project and the displayed web page. All this step can be performed local
 ly\, (intranet network) and finally\, the project and the created settings
  files have to be transferred to the region geoportal of Abruzzo Region. I
 n conclusion\, the use of Lizmap to transfer Qgis Desktop projects on the 
 web represents a good solution to move Public Administration towards the u
 se of Open-source solutions and towards the digitalization procedures requ
 ired by the European Commission. In addition\, this tool had the purpose o
 f ensuring maximum transparency to citizens who\, although not insiders\, 
 can access the geoportal to see how the funds allocated by the Region\, th
 e Italian Nation\, and the European Community are distributed and spent.
