tilasysteemin

Tilasysteemin refers to a space management system used in Finnish contexts to organize, track and allocate physical or virtual spaces within organizations, buildings, or urban environments. The term combines tila (space) and järjestelmä (system). In practice, tilasysteemin provides a data model and tools to inventory spaces, assign attributes such as size, function, occupancy, and accessibility, and to support planning and operations.

A typical tilasysteemin includes a hierarchical representation of spaces (sites, buildings, floors, rooms), a set of attributes (area, usage, equipment, compliance requirements), and relationships to assets and facilities. It often integrates with building information modeling (BIM), computer-aided facilities management (CAFM), geographic information systems (GIS), and sensor networks.

Key functions are space cataloging, utilization analytics, reservations and scheduling, maintenance planning, and capacity forecasting. By analyzing occupancy patterns and space performance, organizations can improve utilization, reduce costs, and support sustainable operations. Tilasysteemin is commonly used in universities, office campuses, hospitals, industrial facilities, and municipal planning.

Implementation considerations include data quality, data governance, interoperability with other IT systems, and privacy concerns related to occupancy data. Standardization efforts and common taxonomies help ensure consistency across different sites and stakeholders. As digitalization advances, tilasysteemin may increasingly incorporate real-time data from IoT devices and automated planning workflows to support dynamic space management.
