Automating government processes is a top priority in the digital era. Because of historical development, many existing systems for registering and storing data about individuals coexist, requiring intervening IT infrastructures. The article considers the procedure for the development, creation and implementation of software for updating and generating data about residents of the city of Astana. It defines the functional capabilities and determines the role of the information system in automation and monitoring government activities. The authors conducted the study by observing, synthesizing, analyzing, systematizing, and classifying the data received. The authors used scientific works of local and foreign authors on the topic under study and open databases as sources of literature. At the end of the work, the authors list the literature used. The authors have, for the first time, created the structure and algorithms of the information system known as ""Population Database ""Geonomics"". Specifically, they have developed the mechanism and algorithm for the interaction of the ""Geonomics"" information system with government databases. As well as, additional opportunities for using the software have been identified by developing an algorithm for planning and placing social objects when using the information system ""Geonomics"". The authors have concluded that the algorithms developed for the use of the information system ""Population Database “Geonomics"" represent a reliable and powerful tool, which plays a critical role in the optimization and automation of processes related to population accounting and urban infrastructure management. This software contributes to the development of the city and the improvement of its residents' quality of life, based on up-to-date and reliable information. In addition, the developed algorithm allows for real-time monitoring of the current data of city residents and their density, based on which decisions can be made regarding the construction and placement of social facilities for the comfortable service and living of city residents.
