Liiteri is browser-based information service about the living environment, which consists of map layers, statistics and land use planning monitoring forms.

Liiteri contains:

  • Approximately 2000 statistics
  • Approximately 1000 map layers
  • Approximately 25 000 land use planning monitoring forms
  • Comprehensive data collection about built environment
  • National land use planning map layers
  • Long time series

Liiteri is a web service where you can for example view map layers, search address- or locality-based sites, and print different thematic maps. Moreover, as a registered user, you can add your own sites to the map and import your own data or add open data from WMS-interface services. You can save and share workspaces or publish maps on your website.

You can search and compute statistics for different administrative units in Liiteri-service. It is possible to choose multiple statistics from main and sub-categories or a single statistic over many years. You can also edit the statistics table, create graphs and thematic maps. Contractual clients have a broad scale of data and all functionalities at their disposal, like the Monitoring System of Spatial Structure and Urban Form’s (YKR) 250-meter grid data, local master plans, making a buffer zone and computing statistics for any spatial division.

Liiteri serves authorities and companies that work in sectors involving land use planning and built environment. Liiteri can for example be used for land use planning processes, granting permissions and subsidies related to construction, formulating strategic plans and programs, supporting statements, and monitoring the state of the built environment. The service is also useful for students and researchers. Citizens interested in their living environment can search for information about their neighbourhood’s services or the current situation of land use planning.
