The municipality of Dropull is created in 2013 as the result of the new administrative and territorial reform that restructured the administrative division of the country from 365 municipalities toward a new division of 61 municipalities. After this administrative reform the "new" municipalities needed planning guidelines. In such term the drafting of local 's plans started to guide the process. For Dropull municipality the planning process was challenging due to lack of data, cadaster registration problems, shrinking population and property conflicts. The main objective of this process was to have substantial data in order to facilitate the planning and decision making process. These challenges were aimed to be addressed by using GJS mainly oriented towards online data record and overlay of information to bring together both quantitative data with its geographical location. This Research has collected data from censuses, Orthophotos and mapping materials by previous studies, reports and various local plans. By using Geographic Informational systems, we can measure some physical parts of the urban growth. Also analytical, historic and statistical information was collected and used by comparative methods. The study aims to portray the current development of Dropull municipality, in order help the decision making process to be more transparent and acceptable.
