Acceleration in all areas of social and economic life has become one of the most important challenges for contemporary men. However, it has not been directly mentioned among several conditions in the first concept of National Spatial Management Policy, created in 1995.2001. Nowadays, the ability to implement changes is the basic prerequisite of success. We witness impatience with which decisions on locating investments and on changing the designation of lands are expected, so the process of spatial planning needs to be accelerated as well, consequently shortening the waiting time for decisions approving the locations of investment projects. In our opinion, it is possible to achieve this by remodeling the planning system, to use the information and communication technology. Taking this into consideration, it is essential to start by changing the methods and techniques of works on the basic document of strategic spatial planning in the country, namely, the National Spatial Management Policy. The adoption of the Policy and its updating in 2005, did not solve the problems of spatial management. Spatial planning has not been integrated with social and economic planning, no system has been created to complement the Policy with spatial information on the country.s development and the planned land designation and development.. No method to integrate the Policy with sectoral policies has been developed. Among the apparent reasons of the described situation is slight engagement of GIS in the works on the Policy, and following its adoption, ignoring of the monitoring process of implementation of the provisions of the Policy and the changes in spatial management using Geographic Information Systems worldwide. So, the ministries responsible for planning have caused a situation resembling the pre-1995 period, when the first phase of works on the Policy was launched. The authors of the new version inaugurated in 2007, do not have the preliminary materials based on digital technologies. Teams of experts cannot use data that should be produced as the result of monitoring, because it has not been implemented. ICT assets cannot be applied to accelerate the process of planning, because the GIS environment that creates such possibilities, has not been introduced to the planning system. Therefore, we are of the opinion that it is essential to urgently catch up with the issues in question, and on the occasion of works on the new Policy, to develop a spatial planning system implementing information technology solutions GIS included to enable to meet the condition of competitive spatial behaviour both on national and local scale.
