During the past 20 years, the role of geospatial technology in society has increased dramatically. However, the impact of these technologies in rural areas remains minimal. In Texas, a federally funded project called the Columbia Regional Geospatial Service Center System (the System) has emerged as a model for bringing the benefits of geospatial technology to all portions of society. The model involves distributed, academically based Centers, each with regional specializations, linked together into a unified system for addressing critical needs in emergency response, economic development, and natural resource management. The Centers operate on three focus areas, i.e., data, applications, and training. The Columbia Center has been in operation for five years and has demonstrated the practical strength of the System through numerous local and statewide projects, responses to natural disasters, and other geospatial activities.

The Government Administration Service Center in Warsaw is the leading example of application of a legal institution – an institution of the budget economy. This entity is part of the administrative apparatus and performs public tasks. At the same time, this entity conducts business activity, which allows it to be considered an entrepreneur. The basic question discussed in the article is the mutual relationship between the two roles of the subject. The practice indicates that combining them is not a simple matter, because there is a tendency in the activity of this institution to increase the role of the entity as an entrepreneur. Consequently, it may pose a threat to the basic role which the entity is designed to perform, that is implementation of public tasks.
