A system including: a computer system configured to: access geographical information system (GIS) data, including land-parcel data representing land-parcel coordinates that define a plurality of land parcels, and publicly accessible destination data representing coordinates of publicly accessible destinations, and/or publicly accessible region data representing one or more regions with associated features, and process the GIS data to generate processed GIS data representing attributes of each land parcel associated with: distances between each land parcel and the publicly accessible destinations; and/or features of the regions that overlap with the land-parcel coordinates; and at least one server configured to: receive request data representing query criteria for selecting ones of the land parcels; filter the processed GIS data to select ones of the land parcels with distances and/or features matching the query criteria; and generate response data representing the selected ones of the land parcels.
