Information is one of the most important business success factors nowadays, as it provides an opportunity to respond to emerging changes and to take effective decisions. This information has to be precise and easily accessible. The aim of this research is to create a methodology for automatic real world adequate geosimulation model preparation, based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) models and statistical data collected. All structures of an urban environment interact, and the urban environment is a network that exists among different structures, links, flows and relationships. The spatial distribution and development direction of the territory, also business environment development is determined by a street network and transport communication network. Besides, city development plans require the newest information about transport traffic and pedestrian flows as well as information on the accessibility of local services, open territories, etc. This information is well formed in GIS models. Most of model objects also contain capacity information. As the GIS models are static, they cannot be used to determine any dynamics of the territory; however, the urban environment is nonlinear. A possible way to solve nonlinearity is to prepare geosimulation models, as they are more informative for dynamic processes than GIS models. Geosimulation models also allow making experiments and solving optimization tasks. The automatic creation of geosimulation models does not require deep knowledge of simulation techniques for domain specialists further using them. From the economic aspect, it is characterized by lower expenses, quicker access to data and larger flexibility.
