The present work aims to create a thematic map highlighting the function of buildings in the locality of Cerneteaz, Timiș County, western part of Romania. The locality of Cerneteaz, through its construction characteristics and data availability, provides a good example of how such a small-scale, but high-impact, initiative can be started. The analysis was performed using QGIS, a powerful open-source software used in processing and visualizing geospatial data. Data regarding the buildings were obtained through the systematic cadastral process conducted at the local level. This data provides an accurate vector representation of the building contours and allow the association of relevant attributes for functional analysis. In this study, buildings were classified based on their primary use (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial) with the goal of highlighting how they are spatially distributed in the area. Understanding the functional structure of a locality provides valuable information for authorities, urban planners, and communities, allowing for the identification of deficient areas, dysfunctions, or investment opportunities. The use of GIS technology allows not only the visualization of this information as a thematic map but also the generation of statistics and interpretations useful for understanding the functional structure of the locality. Thus, the work fits into a practical context, with relevance in the fields of spatial planning and urban management.
