Improvements to existing items (14)

In addition to new items, the automatic content of different items has also been improved. Remember that you must access each item to activate the changes . Specifically:

  1. Information about the municipality

    This previously manual item becomes automatic with open data , based on data extracted from Municat. It incorporates the main descriptive data and links to location and street maps.

  2. Document deletion log

    This item, which was previously manual , becomes automatic with open data , based on data extracted from the Department of Culture -National Commission for Documentary Access, Evaluation and Selection (CNAATD) -, which forms the information for the list of deletions of public sector documents available in its database. Either by origin from the entity itself or via the work of the Regional Archives.

  3. Grants awarded

    Until now this was a manual item and now it also becomes automatic with open data , facilitating the option of automatically displaying the same information from subsidy and aid concessions published by the Ministry of Finance, through the "National Subsidy Advertising System". It is worth noting that for this item, an improvement in the anonymization of individuals has also been promoted and beyond the DNI which is hidden, only the initials of the name are reported.

  4. Tenders in process (contractor profile)

    Starting from an automatic item with redirection (to the contractor's profile of each entity), despite maintaining the redirection option, it becomes automatic with open data , that is, it is made easier to directly display and download the automatic data originating from the contractor's profile in the same item.

  5. List of minor contracts (historical)

    This item was only manual, and from this update it has become automatic with open data , showing the available data associated with minor contracts reported during the last five years in the Public Register of Contracts of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

  6. List of contracts awarded

    This item was already automatic with open data (from the CIDO – Barcelona Provincial Council source), but in this update a change of source has been made, publishing the information directly from the Public Procurement Services Platform (origin Department of Economy and Finance, and source Open Data of the Generalitat of Catalonia). In addition, with the change of source the fields shown to citizens have also been expanded.

  7. Contracting bodies

    This manual item allows you to inform about the contracting bodies. In practice, what we have done is to offer a redirection to the contracting profile of the entity because on its home page it already informs about the contracting bodies of the entity. In this sense, if the entity wishes, from now on it can choose to activate this automatic item with redirection to the home page of the contracting profile of the entity.

  8. Political / municipal groups

    This item has been automated by providing information with open data from CIDO associated with the publication of the cartipàs , which includes information on municipal groups. It is worth noting that it will only be useful for those entities that do not use the political organization module, as it is the means to display information in a closer, more agile and simple way to citizens. More information about the module at the following link

  9. Urban planning regulations

    This manual item has been automated by redirecting to the information published by the Generalitat de Catalunya, incorporating default links to both the Urban Planning Register of Catalonia (RPUC) for the entity in question, as well as to the urban planning map viewer of Catalonia (MUC).

  10. Urban planning

    This automatic redirection item has been improved, now linking to the Planning Register Urbanístic de Catalunya (RPUC) to the specific information for the entity in question (previously it was a general redirect), and the link to the urban map viewer of Catalonia (MUC) has also been added.

  11. Territorial urban planning plans

    This manual item has been automated by redirecting to the information published by the Generalitat de Catalunya (Territorial Plans. Department of the Vice-Presidency and Digital Policies and Territory )

  12. Citizen service

    This manual item allows reporting of the different citizen service offices. For many entities with multiple service points it will continue with the same format. However, for all those entities that have a single citizen service point, this item can now also be automatic with open data, starting from, showing the data associated with the information linked to “Citizen Service” reported in Municat.

  13. Air pollution information

    This item, until now automatic with redirection, now includes the possibility of showing Air Quality information at automatic and manual measurement points, of the Network for Monitoring and Forecasting Atmospheric Pollution, as automatic with open data. In this sense, if your municipality has stations, instead of redirecting to the generic air quality page of the Generalitat de Catalunya, you can choose to show the details of the information of the stations (manual and/or automatic), of your territory.

  14. Economic management indicators

    This previously manual item becomes automatic with open data , showing by default the economic indicators module that has been generated from open data from supramunicipal sources. This module, and therefore the automation of the item, is only possible for municipalities.
