Abstract

Infrastructure utilities are for public use and were always constructed, maintained, and operated by governmental organizations and public companies. Government and public bodies are not known to implement a profit-seeking policy and with time, the level of service deteriorate. The idea of public companies and government management of public facilities lost its preferences and became not safe for a sustainable economy. Privatization came as an advantageous solution to this dilemma, not only it will release the government from maintaining and operating infrastructure utilities, but also it will flood the government with a huge amount of cash.
The privatization is a contemporary economical solution for chronic problems of public companies such as deteriorated level of services and continuous losses. The geospatial technology play an important role in privatization of infrastructure utilities. The aim of this paper to highlight the importance of GIS as essential tool in evaluating, selling, maintenance, operation of infrastructure utilities.
