ABSTRACT
In parallel with the rapid increase in population, there has been an unplanned growth observed in the rate of urbanization. Needs are also rising with the growth of urbanization. In fact, due to this increase, water, energy, and communication requisites are also raising parallel to urbanization. In this case, it has been aimed to find healthy solution methods for infrastructure systems by using the Urban Information System (UIS). Because of irregular installments of infrastructure systems, inadequacy on data, outdated infrastructure maps, accidental excavations and not having an urban information system for infrastructure systems, there have been losses of lives and properties. In this study, advantages that are provided as a result of employing urban information systems for water distribution systems have been introduced. In order to collect, process, evaluate, and analyze data belongs to a water distribution system, ArcGIS 10.0 geographic information system (GIS) software has been used on the model example. At the end of the study, to make correct decisions for the improvement and management of water supply infrastructure systems, benefits that will be provided by establishing information systems have been described.
