Introduction Governments in all countries are obligated to ensure the work of the infrastructures of different forms to provide the comfort of vital activities and safety of citizens. Management of physical infrastructure requires the linkage of different systems and, correspondingly, informational infrastructure. Infrastructures of three- dimensional data (Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI)) play important role, because information about the position of one or other object or another plays the key value in control of all systems, which are controlled and are governed by public authority, for example, such as roads, utility networks, systems of public health and others. Like the majority of the forms of infrastructure, SDI also ensure platform for the economic development of the country or region. 2. Objectives According to city planning code of RF the information systems of the city planning (ISOCP) are the systematized set of the documented information about the development of territories, about their building, about the land sections, about the objects of capital construction and other necessary for the realization of city planning information [1]. In this definition the information system can be both the manual and automated. In the wide understanding ISOCP - meta-system (system of systems) [2], which ensures the information support of the set of the diverse processes of subsistence and development of city. Such integrated system includes several classes of software: • GIS (geographical information system), • SED (system of electronic document turnover), • DBMS (Data Base Management System), • EAR (control system of electronic administrative regulations), • CSCI (classification system and coding information), web- portal, • and also organize access to SIEI (system of interdepartmental electronic interaction). The purpose of conducting the information systems of the city planning is the provision of government, local authority, physical and legal persons the reliable information, necessary for the realization of city planning, investment and other economic activity, conducting land exploitation. The information about the seismic danger and the seismic risk of the territories, which are basic in the building in the seismically dangerous regions, in our opinion, occupies special position. Seismological studies for different purposes, including the tasks for the branch of construction, are carried out in our country already more than a century. The seismic danger assessment in this case, as a rule, is reduced to the calculation of maximally possible seismic actions, which must be considered with the building in the seismic regions. The value of seismic danger is shown in the specific parameters (marks) on the maps of the seismic zonation of one territory or another. In our country are three levels of the seismic zonation depending on tasks and necessary detail of seismic danger mapping: • the general seismic zoning (GSZ) - for the entire territory of the country; • detailed seismic zoning (DSZ) - for the limited areas and the separate regions; • seismic microzonation (SMR) - for the cities, the populated areas and the construction sites. As a result a series of studies in 2006-2010 yr. according to the seismic danger assessment the center of
