# Digital Information Tools for Urban Regeneration: Capital's Approach in Theory and Practice
## 3 Results: Classification of DT/IT for Urban Regeneration  
As the city is a complex and multi-layered system integrating not only physical structures but social, economic, ecological, cultural and spatial processes as well, the regeneration of degraded city areas which seeks optimal result from all the mentioned aspects needs to integrate multi-actor insights, knowledge and perspectives that are usually not considered within the formal planning process [18; 19]. We consider that there are two factors important for the assurance of effective integration of knowledge and transdisciplinary nature of urban regeneration: capital's approach and contemporary information systems and digital tools. Capital's approach allows to use quantitative modelling tools based on digital data and to achieve synergy between top-down and bottom-up regeneration processes. There are six types of capitals that are covered by different digital tools which enables to evaluate different aspects of the particular capital (Table 2). \begin{table}

Table 2: Generalized description of capitals and interactions between them in urban terms. The first group of digital tools and information systems includes urban and regional information infrastructure that encompasses the data about social, economic and environmental issues important to the process of urban regeneration as the material to be analysed in order to determine the limitations and potential of a particular area [19]. Geographic information systems (GIS) are the main tool for handling common database of spatial and non-spatial data, their analysis and modelling. GIS are designed to work with both descriptive (attribute) and spatially coordinated information. All this information in the GIS is stored in thematic (homogeneous spatial information) layers. The main functions of GIS are searching, collecting, storing, presenting, analysing, editing and visualizing spatial information. GIS because of huge various information storing and integration capacities represents economic, social, ecologic, cultural, symbolic and spatial capitals.
